Wow, this is so awesome! You learn real skills, starting at the transistor level. Add the coding and run real applications: chess, doom, minecraft clones, java, etc. GIthub repos

TINY-32 is a full 32-bit RISC-V computer made of 93,338 transistors. It passes the official RISC-V test suite and runs real DOOM at full speed.  Fully open source.

I really liked the idea so downloaded the demo to check it out and there are definitely some rough edges. Lessons complete the moment the circuit does so as to not even let you see results of your creation. Asking to keep playing around with your creation after lesson takes you back to lesson plan any way. Navigation and interface is kludgy at times. Weird bugs where connected wires refuse to act as such. Fantastic idea, charming interface but execution leaves a lot to be desired.
