simulation tools tutorial

• The tutorial is clear and the explanation for the workspace contents is good. One of the issues I faced is that the setup button took a lot of time for me to run. Sometimes it would run within five seconds and sometimes it will just keep running for a lot of time. So I do not know if this is supposed to happen or if it is a bug.
• It would be more clear if you provided more explanation about the simulation code area with more clear procedures on how to write the script. I did not totally understand how these inputs are passed to the code and why did we only use one argument for the switches (sw) while having two switches (sw1 and sw2), how does it combine both of them into one value.

• Typo in Simulation, should be hardware, 5 line down
• Giving an example and better definition of the clk and comb commands, as it wasn't immediately apparent what they were referring to when they said that comb was for simple combination circuits and clk for using timing and registers. Like what is that referring to?
• I also experienced an extremely long loading time for the workplace, to the point where I couldn't get the simulation to run half the time, and when it did run, I couldn't get the wavedrom to run past that. It severely limited my ability to experiment and fully understand the tutorial
• Is there something we are supposed to have hooked up for this lab? It mentioned the LED's should show the result of the simulation?
