You can connect them as outputs (anywhere on the screen u want) and you can select where they can be placed in the final chip layout so if you place the chip, you can see the leds from outside (like the display)
Most of those features are coming, he needs a little more time i think. What he hasn't said anything about was ROM, tabs (i explained in my own comment that it would be hard when editing chips was implemented, but could still be useful), he hasn't said anything about clocks yet, i don't think that he will make an ASCII character display, but he will make a seven segment display. Using an encoder you could still use it as an ASCII display. If you're looking for a full display (i forgot how many pixels, but it was quite a lot. even with color. ) you can look for lime inc's refresh of the simulation, i don't think i can link them here. they have quite a few new toys :)
You can basically save unfinished chip designs and edit them later once he adds editing chips.
You can already rotate chips by pressing q and e while placing a chip.
I am quite excited about the other features you mentioned like zooming in and out (i asked for that myself too), ROM would be a REALLY REALLY nice addition for actually creating some programs, adjusting the clock speed, a ASCII character display, though we can make that ourselves and tri-state logic would also be cool.
Anyways, check out the lime inc remix if you can't stand the wait and check this page every day, he should soon release a update. (or check his youtube channel)
That is a possible way, however this gets very VERY tedious fast. I made a simple game for my virtual computer that required only 8 addresses of ROM (16 bits per address), which was doable, i'm currently planning on making a waay more powerful and advanced computer, so I can run more heavy workloads on it, but i would need multiple hundreds of bytes to make an actual game. At some point I will start using a 16x16 display for running the game, but for now this will do: my project.
In his latest video about this sim in the desc he wrote: I've been completely rewriting the simulation program, and I still need to fix some bugs, add some UI etc. I'll add a link here soon when it's ready.
I've played this simulation for hours, and here are some features I want you to add.
First, I would like a Transparency feature to see inside chips. Second, I can't possibly get over the frustration of following your video to the last step and realizing that I messed up on the chip design for the previous chip so I have to start over again. So, I would like an Edit Chip feature that lets you select a chip then press EDIT and be able to edit the chip. Third, because of the previous issue, my projects tab is quite big. Therefore, I would like a Delete Project feature. That's about it! I hope to see the new version soon!
I played this simulation for hours, but there were some things you could maybe add in your next update.
Zooming in and out of the workspace would be really cool so we can make bigger and more complex chips. I know this is already possible by pressing ctrl&-, but the hitboxes don't match up which makes it basically useless.
I did see that you are creating a system for editing existing chips, Great with a capital G!
Being able to see the decimal count of a eight-bit number would be cool. Could be implemented like: When creating a new input/output you can choose between a normal in/out, a four-bit in/out, eight-bit and some custom number bits. Might need to make an option to enable/disable two's compliment though.
I think that by adding a edit button my next idea is less useful, i'll still mention it though: multiple tabs which you can work in. I don't know what to do about chips being inside other chips that are being worked on though, and like I said, this feature is not necessary.
I enjoyed your simulation a lot and wish you the best of luck with the new update, I know how stressful it can be to have announced a new update but still having to make a part of it, so take your time (but be quick if you know what I mean :P).
Couldn't you just create modules and string them together like he does in the video sires or would that be too complicated? I honestly just don't know.
Any chance there could be a chip sharing option. also how do you make things like LEDs and 8 segment displays? is there a way to delete chips that are made? i messed up at the beginning.

LEDS like the (in progress) 7/8 Segment Display.
You can connect them as outputs (anywhere on the screen u want) and you can select where they can be placed in the final chip layout so if you place the chip, you can see the leds from outside (like the display)
And maybe some extra labels
*Things that i would add
Here's what could make the simulation much better:
- Seeing inside chips
- Editing chips
- Delete Projects
- Saving incomplete chip designs
- Tabs so that you can switch between incomplete chip designs
- Zooming in and out
- Tri-state logic
- Read Only Memory (Nice for segmented displays)
- Inputs and outputs on the top and bottom of chips
- Ability to adjust the clock speed
- ASCII character display

you can make a rom by using NOT gates for 1s and empty outputs for 0, if you want it to be 1 value permanently.

You need to add ROMs
Looks cool
so there was a discord server for this stuff a while ago but i think maybe we should make a new one since its actually getting updated soon
A heads up. Someone called Lime Inc has stolen this program claiming its abandoned and "updated" it.
https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx9cCEsjQeW8cVD08DzEVDD4cYviCBNTRr
It was abandoned for two years.
And besides, they made some cool updates ;).
A clock, a seven-segment display, a full display and probably more that I forgot.
I'm happy the sim will be updated by Sebastian again though.
the last update was in 2020
WHERRRE CAN I FINNNNNNDDDDDD THEEEEEEE NEW UPDDAAATTTTEEEEEE??????????? PLLLLLEEEEAASSSEEE IIITTSS SOO GOOOOOOODDDD

Hey Sebastian,
I played this simulation for hours, but there were some things you could maybe add in your next update.

Hopefully he will make us able to zoom out on our area so we can do more complex things, such as 16 bit adders and the like.
i hope too
that would be w ngl
i want to make terrabyte storage in this
Couldn't you just create modules and string them together like he does in the video sires or would that be too complicated? I honestly just don't know.
you've never tried to make 64b ram before, haven't you
no
were's the chip library in his video?
not updated
Hes working on it. See: community posts
When will the windows version be updated?
Any chance there could be a chip sharing option. also how do you make things like LEDs and 8 segment displays? is there a way to delete chips that are made? i messed up at the beginning.
Sebastian didn't update DLS yet.
When will he update?
Lol, I don't know
most likely in a few days
apparently he's still working on the rewrite
Yah
ooh
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Sebastian Lague\Digital Logic Sim\SaveData
This works for DLS 2, (you can delete the chip file) but I've no idea if it works for DLS original.
guys, how do i change the settings of the wires and make them have a little bit of delay ?
i don't think you can
sorry.
ps. I might be wrong
i wish we could. Maybe we could aslo change the color like he did.
