Building a logic gate simulator - where do I start?

[Tiger_2]

Hi, I am a student with a basic knowledge of C#. For my project, I would like to build a logic gate simulator that could teach someone about the basics of Gates. I have seen this done before and always wanted to have a go myself. My starting point, I think, would be to treat each Gate as an 'object'. Where can I get assistance/tutorial from here ?

You'll get help right here.
The Amount of help is usually directly proportional to the effort you are willing to put in yourself.

Do you have anything at all, yet?

I would start simple by creating simple classes for logic gates, for example.

class AndGate
    {
        public bool GetOutput(bool a, bool b)
        {
            return (a && b);
        }
    }

"&&" is the logical "And" operator.
That's a simple start to think about.

While a fun idea, if the goal is logic gate simulation and teaching why not well done projects like this.

Just so happens, one of my(too many?) projects is trying to build an IC simulator.
I started with defining a pin. Be aware that this is just a sketch.

struct port
    {
        public port(portIOtype pIO, signal sig)
        {
            portIO = pIO;
            state = sig;
            //defaults
            pinNr = 0; 
            pinName = string.Empty;
        }

        public string pinName { get; set; }

        public int pinNr { get; set; }

        public signal state { get; set; }

        public portIOtype portIO { get; set; }

        //public port connection ?;        
    }
