Yeah, I was expecting the geek equivalent of "How to Draw an Owl in Two Simple Steps" meme. Step 1: Start with some NAND gates. Step 2: Now make the rest of the fucking CPU.

- dahart 3y agoThere’s a lovely game called Turing Complete on Steam that will take you from a nand gate through making a simple game in your own assembly that run on the processor you built. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/

- zestyping 3y agoI immediately thought of this as well. Step 12 cracked me up! 12) Take a chromium-etched photo-lithographic quartz mask with your desired circuit pattern and shine a laser beam through it to project the circuit pattern onto the wafer. "Your desired circuit pattern" might as well be "draw the rest of the fucking owl."
