Building a 4 bit adder inside Nuke's NodeGraph
.............................................................................................................................................
V 1.2 Update:
- New Node: Relay. Replaces the old one "Connector". Relay helps you to avoid any error with missing or broken metadata. If there's no metadata coming from the input "cable", it creates the metadata to bit = 0. If there is metadata, it let it through with no changes.
- New 1 Bit memory Cell: Updated and without errors (I hope).
- New 8Bit memory: Ready to use 8bit memory that you can stack.

Logical Gates is a collection of nodes that replicate how a circuit works in the real world within Nuke's node graph. It simulates transistors, logic gates, and power sources, allowing users to build different prototypes—all while minimizing the use of TCL or Python as much as possible.
Inside, you will find a collection of nodes, each representing different elements: transistors, various logic gates, LEDs, batteries, 1-bit memory, and more. Additionally, there's a template featuring a 4-bit adder and an LED screen. Everything running entirely within the node graph!
It doesn’t have any real practical use—it's just for fun! But I wanted to share it in case anyone wants to experiment and build whatever comes to mind. Dinner’s on me for the first person who manages to run Doom using LogicalNuke!
