Yes, unfortunately there is no easier option to rewire... We will definitely make a more efficient and more stable wiring system in BOOLR 2.0 with also, for example, options to draw many wires at once.
Last year we wanted to make a working computer in a simulator for a school project. We had learned something about digital logic, and we planned to build a computer in a digital logic simulator. We had tried many simulators, but we couldn't find what we were looking for. That's why we decided to make our own simulator, BOOLR, with electron and JavaScript. Because we were quite new to programming, it was quite buggy and slow, but it was much better looking and easier to use than other simulators.
Now, one year later, we have gained much more programming experience and we decided to start building a second version that is stable and fast enough for professional use. We are really exited for this project. We have huge plans and it will take a lot of time, but we hope we can make a lot of people happy with it and help people learn more about digital electronics.
If you have any suggestion for new features or changes, please do not hesitate to contact us on GitHub or send us an e-mail at info.boolr@gmail.com.
One question: were you able to simulate the full working computer (that you originally planned to make) in this simulator?
And some advice: you might want to gain some experience in hardware languages such as VHDL/Verilog/System-C. Then you'll quickly learn that the best tool for designing real digital logic isn't drawing diagrams. But for education purposes, those diagrams are still very helpful of course.
This seems like one of the few software projects where using Electron is actually reasonable... Sorry! Couldn't resist ;) Joking aside, this looks really cool.
