Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I've had an idea for an online game that would secretly teach you circuit design. In the game, you would build a series of water pipes to preform a certain tasks for each level. The amount of water in a pipe would be voltage, and how fast the water flows would be current. The game would start off very simply, and after "beating" a level, you would get more devices available to complete the tasks.
- watmough 19y agoThat's a really neat idea. I'm a programmer, and I wouldn't mind brainstorming with you if you wanted to try and put together a simple implementation. I'm just thinking that implementing components like resistors, diodes, and what-not sounds like a lot of fun.
- ph0rque 19y agoSounds good. I myself am a newbie programmer; just recently started to learn RoR. I'm busy with my startup, but I think it might be worthwhile to kick some ideas around. Drop me an email if you get a chance (my email is in my public profile).
- Emmjaykay 19y agoNot at all! As an aside, http://www.mmoworkshop.com/trac/mom/phpbb http://www.mmoworkshop.com/trac/mom/phpbb might be of interest but it is mostly kits for MMOs
- mooneater 19y agoWouldnt amount of water be more analogous to current, than voltage?
- ph0rque 19y agoI have to admit I'm not an EE by any stretch of the imagination, but if you look at the definition of amperage (the amount of current that flows past a given point in one second), I think it's most analogous to a water current.
