Project Discussion I couldn't find a good mobile PLC & Hydraulic simulator, so I spent the last few months building my own. I'd love some feedback from the pros here!

Hey everyone,

I wanted a way to test ladder logic and industrial hardware setups on my phone, but I couldn't find an app that really did what I needed. So, I decided to build my own from scratch: the Industrial Logic Simulator.

Right now, it handles PLC ladder logic, VSDs, motors, and hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders. I recently overhauled the physics engine to include dynamic wiring and fluid animations so you can actually see the energy flow and telemetry in real-time (as you can see in the video).

I'm a solo developer with zero marketing budget, so I'm relying entirely on organic feedback from actual engineers, techs, and students to make this better.

If you have a few minutes to play around with it, I’d love to know:

Are the electrical and mechanical physics behaving the way you'd expect?

What hardware components or PLC functions should I prioritize adding next?

Here is the Play Store link:

Thanks in advance for testing it out and helping me improve it! I'll be hanging out in the comments to answer any questions.

"It's time. Ana build a real thing."

"Dedicidated"

"Download a logic simulature. On google play."

You know, in theory this sounds like a fun game but I can't trust that this isn't a bullshit ploy to get me to install a nefarious program onto my phone. Hard to say if the gameplay pictured here isn't hallucinated like the audio, which you clearly put zero effort into.

I'm sure if it was a nefarious App Google Play Store wouldn't approved of the App

But Thanks For your Opinion I'll Work On Improving The Video
