If you find this circuit appealing to consider, Shenzhen I/O may be of interest. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12660253 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13041538 I was reminded by the 4099 output -> input as a form of 'register', which is used in SI/O (and TIS-100). |

I recently lost more of my life than I care to admit to Zachtronics' more graphically pleasing follow-up Shenzhen I/O [1] that I think I first heard about from HN [2].
The backstory that unfolds through your fake inbox actually gives the devilishly tricky game some direction, and the post-solution histograms showing just how many people solved the same puzzle cheaper, with fewer instructions and with lower power consumption than you tug at your ego and keep you obsessing over the same puzzle long after you've solved it. There's even a fun Solitaire variation buried in there for good measure, which was evidently so popular they also released it as a standalone game [3].
