coloring computers
en español:
logic circuits as coloring sheets!
the coloring computers are non-electronic computers that work when you color them according to a simple set of rules.
these are an exploration of computation without electricity and semiconductors, an attempt to reinvent digital systems away from efficiency and productivity, and hopeful prototypes to expose the inner workings of computers.
most of these computers are digital systems based on nor logic gates.
