The Main Ingredients AND OR NOT XOR, NOR, NAND, XNOR
How They Are Often Represented • Funny Characters: • ∧ = AND, ∨ = OR, ¬ = NOT, ⊕ = XOR, etc. • && = AND, || = OR, ! = NOT, ^ = XOR, etc. • Truth Tables • Venn Diagrams Boooring!
Circuits Become Games! • Rocky’s Boots and Robot Odyssey: Early to Mid 1980’s for Apple II and IBM PCs.
More Modern Games • DroidQuest: a remake of Robot Odyssey • GATE, from One Girl One Laptop Productions
Non-Game Tools • Logic.ly • Atanua,real-time logic simulator • CEDAR Logic Simulator(includes religious content!) • LabView from National Instruments(overkill?)
Why Boolean Logic?! • Not relevant to skeptical logic… • Not relevant to real world “gray areas”… • Not terribly relevant to decimal mathematics • But you can build robots with it!
