Silicon Zeroes

This is a really cool game even though this subject matter is all pretty new to me. Though my progress keeps getting lost because each time I start the game up anew it gives me error messages and I seem to have to re-download it. 

Maybe I'd have better luck playing through Steam: I saw a Steam Key mentioned but I cannot locate that. Where do I find the Steam Key? I see a "steam_api.dll" file in the folder but that doesn't seem like the right thing to use.

Awesome game! Wish I had bought it on Steam so can get the achievements :)

Demo is super brilliant. Getting Zachtronics vibes. Awesome game.

if i play this game will it teach me how to build a computer?

I love this game. It reminds me of my computer architecture class in college :D

very very nice! I am happy that this game is working on my M1 powered Mac

Huh, the "linux" build seems to think it's the steam build? At least that's what the folder says. Either way, it doesn't run.

I'm getting:

./rawexec: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How do I install on linux

Played the three first chapters, this was really interesting and cool!!

Excellent game, I doubt I'll ever finish the cows challenge level but nonetheless enjoying my time so far

Nice game! If you like "while True: learn()" and "7 billion humans", you will also like this game!

I really love this game, as it reminds of Shenzhen I/O as the puzzles are challenging but not impossible to complete.

Hands down the single worst game I've ever played. Unrealistic and stupidly difficult for NO reason. They arbitrarily remove the shit you need from every level just to make it pointlessly difficult. This isn't a game, it's an anxiety attack. I have never once raged at any game I've ever played, I just quit, but I broke shit playing this horrid pile of shit. I simply cannot overstate how BAD this game is.

Absolutely love this game! Almost done with the pre-built puzzles; there is a LOT of content. I'm not sure how the custom levels work, however; the in-game community page is empty, and I don't see where to put puzzle files in the game folders. I am on Mac if that helps. 

This game convinced me that I hate electrical engineering 10/10 Recommended

It. would be great if I could refer to my solutions to previous problems in the current problem. A+ game by the way. Thanks for making this.

As someone currently taking a Computer Organization course, this game has been called both something that would 'make my brain melt out of my ears' and a 'homework simulator' by my friends.

Great idea, terrible difficulty curve from first to second board. Stop making games like this that give me hope I could actually beat one for once and then make me sad when there's an impenetrable wall that just exists to tell normal human beings to screw off.

Wow, this game crushed it.  If you like Zachtronics games, especially the programming ones like Exapunks and Shenzhen I/O, then give this game a chance.  Programming and CPU knowledge helps get into it, but if not then see it as an experience to learn some!  Awesome game!

Wow this game is amazing! I see there's support for custom levels, so I was just wondering if there's a database or forum that hosts them?

really enjoing the game, played for 4 hours straight, really like how aesthetically pleasing everything is 

I was enjoying myself until I got to Cows, where I realized I was too retarded for this game. 

Unsurprisingly I love this game as its a genre thats been near and dear to me for almost 10 years now. The puzzles are very challenging and while other games in the programming genre tend to ease people soft into it, Silicon Zeroes is a lot less forgiving. Most Zachtronics style games treat these solutions as more of a sandbox, which you can solve in a variety of ways, while the limitations many levels give you require you to search for one particular solution. Its a great game though, just not as breezy as other comparable ones, which makes it a very enticing puzzle nut to crack. 4/5

Very nicely done.  Excellent all around, and I can see why Zach Barth likes it :)  UI polish especially is top notch, and it does a LOT to help you understand why things are working / not-working.

Zachtronics fans: this is very much in your wheelhouse.  It's a no-brainer purchase, pick it up.

I'm generally not a big fan of puzzle games, but I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this game! I love the whole presentation of the whole game, very clear and understandable for someone like me! Thanks for adding it to the bundle!

Linux build misses libraries/libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0
You can copy that from your architecture from any other game in the bundle :)

 Mojave not supported,  any new version update?

I actually failed my MSc Computer Science because I couldn't get my head around CPU architecture but this is a great puzzle game. The learning curve is steep but you can get there. Can I retake my exam based on this game, please?

I tried twice to purchase this but got this error from Paypal "Your payment can't be completed. Please return to the participating website and try again."  TBH I kindof hate using PayPal and I'm not sure why there isn't just a plain credit card option as well (another game I just bought here had it).  Hope you get this fixed!

Any idea why my payment is repeatedly refusing to go through for this? I'd have figured the PayPal handling was pretty much the same across itch, but I've successfully bought other games before and after my attempts to buy this and it's still not going through. The error isn't at all helpful, just "The payment could not be completed."
