How do you store a tweet in logic gates? Would you not need to construct crab based memory?

And to play doom you would need a crab based cpu with much more functionality than the few logic gates they have working.

If you can have NAND-gates, a clock and some wires, you can build anything.

Go visit https://nandgame.com/ to try it out yourself!

Based on the https://nand2tetris.org/ courses if you want an even deeper dive.

I know what I'll do in the next boring lecture!

You can create memory by arranging logic gates in bistable or latch circuits.

If the logic gates can feed back onto themselves, you can build a simple [flip flop](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)) that can store a bit.

Yeah but you need 2 logic gates for one bit so it would take 16 logic gates for a byte, not 8.
