Johnson<div><p>In CS 42 we are starting a unit on low-level computing. As a part of that, we are using a program called <a href="http://www.cburch.com/logisim/">Logisim</a>, a program that allows you to build virtual circuits. Of course, after experimenting with it, I had some ideas. So, without further ado, my modular Conway's Game of Life implementation in Logisim!</p> <p>"Modular"? How so? Basically, I designed the circuit as a grid of cells. Each cell is a square subcircuit, and they connect to each other on the sides. There is also a clock signal that is propagated through the grid to synchronize the updates.</p> <p><a href="https://www.danieldjohnson.com/2014/10/13/modular-conways-game-of-life-in-logisim/">Read more…</a> (4 min remaining to read)</p></div>cellular automatoncircuitLogisimUncategorizedhttps://www.danieldjohnson.com/2014/10/13/modular-conways-game-of-life-in-logisim/Mon, 13 Oct 2014 23:35:11 GMT
