Overview

CMSC389E, Digital Logic Design through Minecraft is a Computer Science course at the University of Maryland which strives to teach students the principles and theory of digital logic in a fun, novel way. Students will leverage the popular sandbox game, Minecraft, as a learning tool as they build the basic components of a 2-bit computer, including an ALU, RAM, ROM, Clock, etc. Course curriculum is adapted from Alexander Brassel's 2019 offering of the course, and heavily borrows from CMSC250 (Discrete Structures) and ENME244 (Digital Logic) at UMD.
