Highly inaccurate

Current involves electrons moving from the negative terminal of the source to the positive terminal due to the potential difference of energy. Protons don't move you dumb idiots. Cannot believe that you guys missed the most fundamental concept of electricity. Even 14 year olds would know that this is highly inaccurate. Please fix this immediately.

Cool app!

Fun little app but would be great to see some more components added and perhaps a slightly bigger platform for building circuits! Still good fun!
