# Wave 1 Beta Release --- ## Key Features and Enhancements ### 1. Core Functionality - Developed and optimized JavaScript functions for binary, hexadecimal, and logic gate simulations, ensuring high performance and compatibility across GCSE and A-Level specifications. - Introduced dynamic behavior to adapt pages (e.g., GCSE vs A-Level) based on URL or heading context. - Streamlined reset, toggle, and update functionalities for user inputs and sliders across various simulation pages. ### 2. Hexadecimal Simulator - Enabled two configurations: - 8-bit binary with 2-digit hexadecimal (GCSE). - 16-bit binary with 4-digit hexadecimal (A-Level). - Ensured user input validation for denary and hexadecimal values with robust error handling and feedback. ### 3. Hex Colors Module - Added dynamic color preview updates for RGB sliders, denary, binary, and hexadecimal values. - Included an "invert color" feature with corresponding visual updates. ### 4. Logic Gates Module - Implemented NOT, AND, and OR gates with toggle buttons and live output updates. - Enhanced reset functionality to initialize states correctly for each gate type. ### 5. Error Handling - Resolved bugs related to undefined slider properties and invalid binary/hexadecimal inputs. - Implemented fallback defaults for invalid or canceled inputs. --- ## Visual Enhancements ### 1. Custom Illustrations - Created custom images for the following sections: - **About CS:Box**: A simplistic and educational-themed design. - **The Evolution from Bit:Box**: A visual transition from Bit:Box to CS:Box. - **Educational Impact**: Vibrant and engaging designs showcasing classroom learning. - Refined visual hierarchy across all pages for better user experience. ### 2. Navigation Revamp - Redesigned Bootstrap-based dropdown menus for better usability and accessibility. - Improved menu hierarchy to align with the UK Computing Curriculum elements. --- ## Documentation ### 1. CS:Box Overview - Added content explaining the project's evolution from Bit:Box and its educational significance. - Highlighted key features and their relevance to the UK Computing Curriculum. ### 2. GitHub Repository - Structured repository with concise descriptions of modules, features, and usage instructions. --- ## Bug Fixes and Optimizations - Addressed issues with sliders not functioning correctly after reset on hexadecimal pages. - Fixed error with NOT gate toggling state incorrectly upon reset. - Streamlined JavaScript logic across all simulations to reduce redundancy and improve maintainability. --- ## Future Scope - Prepare for **Wave 2 Release** with additional simulations (e.g., XOR gates, floating-point representations). - Enhance accessibility features for a more inclusive user experience. - Explore collaborative features for classroom settings. --- *Wave 1 Beta Release is the foundation of CS:Box, setting the stage for engaging, curriculum-aligned computing education tools.*
