A 4-bit game of George Boole: a merged 13 in gold beside 2 and 1 tiles in binary, a NOT gate on the board and a note working out NOT 2 = 13, between the quick rules and the logic gates panels George Boole, in pixels

GEORGE BOOLE
HAS ENTERED
THE CHAT

a logic-gate puzzle game · true or false? and, or, not.

Slide the board, merge the bits, and let the logic gates do the rest. It started from Gabriele Cirulli's 2048 and swaps the addition for Boolean logic: AND, OR, XOR and NOT drop onto the board, and every tile that scores shows you the math.

It is being made for four kinds of machine. Each version suits the one it runs on, and all of them play by exactly the same rules.
