Basic Electrical Simulation Software

BESS is a software for simulating electrical circuits (for now digital components). It is designed to be simple to use and easy to understand. It is intended for educational purposes, but can also be used for professional work.

It is written in C++ and uses its own renderer made with OpenGL. It now uses its own Time Based Simulation Engine.
