BuildIT - Build it yourself!

A simple, powerful and FAST application for simulating logic gates written from scratch in pure C++ using opengl.

For a long time I wished I had an application for building anything I wanted. Maybe a calculator, maybe some games. I come from a Minecraft background and redstone always inspired me to get creative. You just place blocks and create. The only drawback of redstone is that it is relatively slow. That is why I started this project. My goal was to create an application to be creative, one that allows me to experiment, learn, have fun! Enter BuildIT - an application for simulating logic gates. With BuildIT you can create anything up to the limits of your imagination (and your computer). It is capable of showing you every single calculation that is done to really understand what is going on under the hood. On the other hand you can calculate hundreds of millions gates per second.

buildit's Issues

Cable Management

The data-structure must have the following features:

• access of vertex / network / lines for a given cell
• insertion of vertices in existing networks (rebuild necessary)
• deletion of vertices and connected lines
• merging and splitting of networks (rebuild necessary)
• deletion of lines (including vertices if no references) (rebuild necessary)

Drag Management

Wanted features

• Moving around nodes (And connected vertices if any -> restrictions)
• Moving around vertices -> restrictions
• Creating new lines (click & drag)

Creating new lines

• Create new vertex on click (if not already present at cursor position)
• Create second vertex and line when dragging after
• Add new vertices and lines to existing networks if starting from existing vertex or line
