a digital pet with hand-powered logic.
norpet is a digital pet with hand-powered logic.
its board (or non-electronic digital screen) consists in a grid of logical operations, one per cell, that you have to follow to bring your pet across its different states of life.
have around two types of beans, like black beans and soy beans, print out the PDF, and follow the instructions.
norpet is a proof-of-concept of beans computing that we developed for a Virtual Pet Jam on itch.io; an example of hand-powered digital systems.
it is based on a 3-bit counter using only NOT and OR gates of one and two inputs respectively, based on the 3-bit counters in logiteca.
the state of the changing "pixels" of the pet correspond to the state of the different outputs of the logic gates network.
