I played through the three levels you've got in there.  I'm not a computer
engineer, but I did manage to get through them.  I will admit that I had to
resort to wikipedia for the last level.  It's definitely challenging.  I
like the engineering theme and would love to see some simpler designs to
build up to some of the more complex/challenging ones.  I just didn't have
enough intuition about the circuits to really come up with the designs on my
own.  I saw from the readme you're aware of Kohctpyktop.  I think though
that it might have some ideas for simpler designs to start with.

In terms of the code itself, I do hope to investigate it a bit further to
maybe understand it as an example.  I did find some bugs while I was
playing, though I didn't do any exhaustive testing or anything:
-There seemed to be something wrong with the saving.  I can't save over
existing files, as I get an error message about not being able to overwrite
files.  I don't think it's just a permission problem, as I'm able to create
a new file in that directory no problem.
The game brings up a save window when I fail a level, and won't let me
resume the game.  It seems to be setting a timer that periodically pops up
new save windows until I deal with the one that's up, and will exit the
program if you choose Don't Save.
-I couldn't get any of the select/copy/paste functionality to work.  I'm not
sure whether that's just not implemented or something's wrong with it.

Overall it's pretty interesting and I did learn something about computer
engineering from playing.  Good work, thanks for sharing.
Joe
