Ideas to Contribute

Listed below are some possible projects you can work on if you want to contribute to LogikSim.

Simulation Backend

• Mechanism to save and load logic circuits.
• Simulation engine implementing the conceptional simulation model.
• Develop concept to compile logic circuits to a very fast simulation model. Also think about how such a model would interact with the interface.

User Interface

• Setup GUI based integration tests.
• Localization Mechanism
• Export as pdf function for schematics.
• Logic item list widget: Showing all available logic items, pre-defined and user created with their symbols. This will then be part of the main interface where users can drag & drop items into the active schematics.
• Custom logic item creator widget: Interface to define new logic items based on a schematic with inputs and outputs.
• Undo / Redo Mechanism

Build System

• Setup continuous integration framework for all platforms, with nightly builds and test suite runs.
• Windows: Create script to create a standard Windows MSI installer based on the compile LogikSim.
• Linux: Create a script to create packages for standard Linux distributions of LogikSim and find out how to integrate them into the standard package repositories.
• Mac OS: Verify if LogikSim runs on Mac OS and create automated deployment mechanism.

Website

• Create new website for LogikSim (Vision, Goals, Logo, make Screenshots).

Logic Circuits

• Come up with logic circuits for each level of abstraction, that will be the basis for testing the performance and user-friendliness of LogikSim on each level.
