I just looked at a couple videos about how computers work like this playlist by Sebastian Lague: kzbin.info/aero/PLFt_AvWsXl0dPhqVsKt1Ni_46ARyiCGSq. It also helps to have some programming knowledge for the low level logic part since you can just imagine the logic gates as a bunch of if statements. It mainly comes down to figuring out how to make smaller components, like binary adders and counters, and work yourself up to whatever your final goal is. Remember that google is your friend when looking for logic gate circuits.

@@uniprism yeah I got ALUs and memory down pretty well but how did you manage to make a video card?

@@AORA_INDUSTRIES It's basically 15 rows of 15-bit shift registers where one pixel can be updated at a time in the first column with the 4 bit input, and then the column of pixels is shifted to the next vertical line, so new pixels can be added to the first column again. Once the entire screen is ready, a single input can be used to update all of the pixels at once with another grid of 15x15 D flip-flops connected to the previous columns. So in total there are 15 initial D flip-flops connected to the 4-bit input and 30 D flip-flops per vertical line for the display, where one sets the value for the pixel and one updates the value to the screen. (This can be seen at 2:00)

lack of reading capability moment

Logisim, it's a logic gate simulator

Sorry, I couldn't fit in any Cognition and Behavioural Therapy into this video, maybe next time :(
