An engineer has created ChipTycoon, an interactive simulation that uses large language models to guide users through the chip manufacturing process from raw material to data‑center delivery.

The workflow starts with the engineer prompting a model in plan mode to generate foundational knowledge about a chosen topic. The output is reviewed for accuracy. Next, the engineer asks the model to produce a low‑poly animation that visualizes the topic, adds responsive interface controls, and publishes the result to a new repository with GitHub Pages enabled, according to the engineer.

The animation follows a cart that moves from sand collection through furnace processing to final chip delivery, illustrating each step of the manufacturing chain, according to the engineer. The engineer said the simulation is accurate and free of hallucinations, contrasting it with typical text‑based explanations or bulleted lists generated by language models.

The engineer noted that the low‑poly design may limit visual fidelity and suggested converting images to 3D models for greater realism. Additional challenges, such as quiz questions about earlier manufacturing steps, are proposed to improve knowledge retention.

The simulation is available at chiptycoon.com and is part of a series that includes guides on rocket engine construction, large language model mechanics, F1 engine assembly, and EUV machine building.
