Why are my wires not working?

For some reason, my wires and output pins seem unable to decide in which state they want to be. When I connect an input with an output directly there's no flickering but when I run it through a CUSTOM made chip, it turns on and off like crazy. And with custom chip I don't mean a overcomplicated chip, it doesn't even work for OR-Gates (I just connected an input to the output and then linked the second input to the first wire). It would be a pity if I couldn't use this nice program just because of a tiny bug. Please help. I'm using Windows and my PC is not that bad, that the program wouldn't work at all.

From what I have tested, the way the program processes connecting one wire to another wire is by setting the output of the second wire to go to the same output the first wire has. 


I connected the second wire to the first one, and if you follow the bolder line, it goes to the same output as the first one.

The reason this doesn't work is explained on the itch.io page:

"Please note that if conflicting inputs are received, the state of the pin will be determined randomly. To avoid this, the tri-state buffer should be used."

I hope this helps. If you're still trying to make an or, go to this forum: https://itch.io/t/2625655/how-does-one-create-a-or-gate

Works now thank you, I just thought too simple
