VDOTX · TapeOut · v2.0

Route the chip.
Pass the tape-out.

A hands-on puzzle from inside the foundry. Connect power to the processor — one wire at a time. No experience needed — the chip teaches you as you go.

10 Levels
From wire to wafer
Each level teaches one new idea — vias, AND-gates, timing, barriers.
2 Metal layers
Cyan over magenta
Stack roads on two floors. Press Space to switch between them.
Real DRC
Live rule check
Hit Verify and the game checks your chip — just like a real chip factory would.
How to play. Click and drag from VCC ⚡ (power) to CPU 🖥️ (brain). Hit Space to switch to the other metal layer when wires need to cross — click an existing wire to punch a via 🕳️ (tunnel). Then hit Verify to check your design.

⚡ First wire!

A chip needs electricity to work. VCC ⚡ is where power comes from. The CPU 🖥️ is the brain. Your job: draw a wire road connecting them so electricity can flow!
