Many want to understand computer internals but find textbooks abstract. A sandbox game could simulate logic gates, CPUs, and assembly programming visually. Schools and tinkerers would pay for engaging STEM education. Start with pre-built component libraries and simple challenges. Risk is oversimplifying complex concepts.
Educational hardware simulation game
Create a game that teaches computer architecture by letting players build virtual machines from basic components up to custom chips. Target CS students and hobbyists.
