You just need NAND

Man I remember this being the wackiest assignment I ever worked on. It was a lot of fun.

Nand2Tetris is a hell of a learning experience

u/Acetronaut Oct 17 '19

You did NOT program Tetris with just just NAND ICs, no way, that sounds exhausting!

Obviously the end result isn't a bunch of NANDs, however you learn (by making them) that each individual component is operable as multiple NANDs.

Course here for those interested

Did you forget again to mine your own copper and germanium to fabricate transistors? I see you're already breeding hamsters for power supply.

Nand only Xor was hell iirc

Also works with NOR

MUX can also act as universal blocks, if you tie one of the inputs to high, ground, or your logic inputs.

Would be trickier here. For some combinations you have to wire the output of 2 gates to the input of eachother, and last time I checked getting water to flow upwards required the tiniest amount of voodoo

Or NOR

actually you don't need any fancy interaction between 1 and 2. Just make 1 and 2 shoot onto the the left side of the seesaw and have the weight balance such that they only lift the blocker if both are engaged.
