[h3]The Kickstarter campaign for Shortcuit goes live on Tuesday 12 July.[/h3]
There will be a limited Early Bird discount so mark your calendar and don’t miss it!

[h3]What is Shortcuit?[/h3]



Shortcuit is a game to learn electronics and Arduino programming (C++). The game simulates electronics and the Arduino microcontroller which allow you to create your own projects virtually.
You can take interactive lessons to get a grasp of basic electronics and programming.
Build, program and share your creations with the community and learn from other players around the world.

[h3]VR Stretch Goal[/h3]



One of our stretch goals is adding VR compatibility to Shortcuit. Once we hit this stretch goal, we will start working on VR compatibility after Early Release.

We plan on supporting the following VR headsets:

• Oculus / Meta Quest 2
  
• Valve Index
  

Other headsets could eventually be made compatible as well but we'll have to look into that later.
If you look forward to this stretch goal, please support us on Kickstarter!

Hi everyone!

We are currently working on Shortcuit, the desktop version and recently have our first pre-alpha demo ready for testing. Head over to our Reddit test group to try it out and give us your feedback!

Hi guys!

We just released a new update with the rift support and some other changes such as a better UI menu and controller interaction, a whiteboard where you can find helpful information to complete the challenges and some other small changes.

We would like to thank all of you for giving us very helpful feedback!

During the last few weeks, we were doing some market research and it's quite clear that if we do want to continue making an educational app, that it should be a desktop version first before continuing further on the VR version.

Because of this, we probably won't update a new version of Short Circuit VR in the near future. If you are still interested in being part of the early development of the desktop version and want to help us test, give feedback etc., you can send us a mail ([email protected]).
We'll add you to our private test subreddit so that you can be a part of the team that helps us improve Short Circuit.

We are also looking for people to interview and get to know how they teach/learn electronics and if there are certain problems they experience while doing that.

If you happen to be an electronics teacher, student, hobbyist, someone who wants to learn electronics or you know someone who would like to help us, please sign up with this Google Forms:

Thank you for your support and happy holidays!
