This project serves the following ABET
outcomes:
Outcome 2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions
that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety,
and welfare, as well as global, cultural social, environmental, and
economic factors.
Outcome 3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of
audiences.
Outcome 5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members
together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive
environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
Outcome 7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed,
using appropriate learning strategies.
Project 1.
The Pong Game
There are multiple versions
of the Pong Game in Verilog online. I would like to to conver the
following from VHDL to Verilog. Here is the link to the author's
demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqOlgilpCYc
I directly synthesized it on
my end and it worked pretty well:
It was written in VHDL, which
is also widely used in digital design. In your career in the future,
you may have to use VHDL for some of the designs or you may have to
convert VHDL to Verilog for your deisgn. This course project is a great
chance for you to practice this skill. After this project, your VHDL
skill won't be as proficient as your Verilog but at least you can read
VHDL code on your own in the future.
Tasks:
1. In this project, form a
team of 2 students. Convert the VHDL code into its Verilog version. 2. Add a skyhawk and FLC logo
at the first page of the game. 3. Everyone on the team must
be able to interpret the code to others during the presentation.
Here is another game I found
online. I can run it on my monitor but I don't have the controller for
it.
I would like to see this game
to be controlled by the pushbuttons on the board or by a joystick
(available in the BH602 lab).
Tasks:
1. Use either pushbuttons or
a joystick to control the game. 2. Add a skyhawk and FLC logo
at the first page of the game. 3. Everyone on the team must
be able to interpret the code to others during the presentation.
