logicssandbox's Issues

Improve cable routing

When changing the wire control points the wire thickness sometimes varies
Solution: Implement algorithm where this does not happen

Visual appearance of flip flops

The flip flops don't have any special visual appearance.
Add indicator lights and a label to show the current state and distinguish the different types

Add indicator lights to Register

The register looks a bit boring.
Add indicator lights to the Register to show the current value it is storing.

Mobile UX

Some changes could be made to make the simulator more usable on mobile

• Wire placement doesn't work well
• Move view port by dragging
• Less menu's in view
• Dont allow placement of objects on top of eachother

Component thumbnails are not complete

For some of the components not all graphics are shown on the thumbnail. This is caused by textures which have not finished downloading.

• Tape Drive
• Analog meter
• Oscillator
• Fourier transform
• Filter
• Amplifier
• Speaker
• Screen
• Keyboard

Add artwork to pulse generator

The pulse generator is a plain box, add artwork, for example a 555 timer

Add option to add labels to components

For many components it would be nice to be able to add some kind of label.
Quickest way to solve this is to add a label element, but for some elements a custom text box would be nicer.

Group components

Currently the components are all shown in one gigantic list. Change this to an accordion with a search option. Maybe also add a category with recently used components?

ALU graphic

The ALU is missing graphics

Add online saving options

It would be really nice to be able to store simulations somehow.
All elements already have methods to load and save them, but there is no back-end available yet.

Performance on high resolutions

The framerate on high resolutions (4k ~ 5k ) is too low.
