Build your own circuits and test your understanding with this new serious game from GMG.

This simulation takes you through a range of circuit ideas and tests your understanding of various series and parallel circuits.

The workhorse of this package is a single source network solver using simulated annealing. It runs all the time and whenever a circuit is completed, you can guarantee that the power will flow and light the bulbs.

To check to see if the network solutions are correct (regardless of the network topography), the simulation simply blows globes and throws switches. If the other components of the circuit are behaving as expected, then the circuit solution must be correct!

The interface uses simple drag-and-drop ideas and an additional component heads-up-display (HUD) to make circuit building easy and fun.
