(Logisim is open-source (GPL).) + +* It runs on any machine supporting Java 1.4 or later; special versions are + released for MacOS X and Windows. The cross-platform nature is important + for students who have a variety of home/dorm computer systems. + +* The drawing interface is based on an intuitive toolbar. Color-coded wires + aid in simulating and debugging a circuit. + +* The wiring tool draws horizontal and vertical wires, automatically + connecting to components and to other wires. It's very easy to draw + circuits! + +* Completed circuits can be saved into a file, exported to a GIF file, or + printed on a printer. + +* Circuit layouts can be used as "subcircuits" of other circuits, allowing + for hierarchical circuit design. + +* Included circuit components include inputs and outputs, gates, + multiplexers, arithmetic circuits, flip-flops, and RAM memory. + +* The included "combinational analysis" module allows for conversion between + circuits, truth tables, and Boolean expressions. + |
