Show HN: An interactive Snake circuit you can take apart, no CPU

Operating in show hn launch, An interactive Snake circuit you can take apart, no CPU operates.

I mostly wanted to prototype hardware ideas quickly, with as little as possible between writing a circuit and watching it run. There are already solid embedded HDLs in general-purpose languages i.e. Chisel (Scala), Amaranth (Python), SpinalHDL. They all also have their own simulators, but they live inside the JVM or Python toolchains. I wanted something I could open in a browser and just start building, with nothing to install. If anyone is familiar with the game Turing Complete on Steam it was a big inspiration behind this. I just hated having to wire the gates manually.Simten is a hardware description language that's plain TypeScript. A circuit is a typed value you simulate cycle by cycle,
