Mesecons Simulator

A planning and simulation environment for Mesecons circuits.

Usage

This program is written in Python. It works with version 2 or 3.

If you have Python 2, you must have the Tkinter and pickle modules available. Run the mesecons_simulator.py file with Python to start the program.

If you have Python 3, you must have the tkinter and pickle modules available. Run the mesecons_simulator3.py file with Python to start the program.

Controls

Key bindings:

Key	Purpose
Z	Viewing level up
S	Viewing level down
R	Toggle viewing plane between XZ, XY, and YZ
Ctrl + O	Open a saved simulation file
Ctrl + S	Save the current simulation to a file

Toolbar buttons (left to right):

First button (square with plus sign) extends the cell grid in a given direction.
Second button (long addition of two numbers) displays material usage statistics.
Third button (mouse cursor) toggles switches, program microcontrollers, or otherwise actuate cells.
Fourth button (circular arrow) rotate cells that are directional.

The remaining buttons select the type of object that will be added when a cell on the grid is clicked.

For example, if the blank cell (fifth button) is selected, clicking a cell will clear it.
