Program Your Own FPGA Video Game -- Episode 353

Program Your Own FPGA Video Game

element14 Presents  |  Andy West's VCP Profile |  Project Videos

 

In this video, we learn how to make a retro-style table tennis game with an FPGA. We take a look at the DE0-Nano development board, along with Altera's Quartus II design software. We also learn about the Verilog language and dive into some code. Finally, with the help of some additional components, we interface directly with a VGA monitor and an NES game controller.

  • Oh, cool!  A Ben Heck cameo.  

     

    This is really cool.  I've been meaning to create a FPGA game so this might be a great place to start.

     

    Yeah, I know some FPGA folks that hate being called Software Engineers although they are defining Hardware functionality using Software.

     

    I see some of the picks you have is of the DE0-Nano-SOC and others are of the DE0-Nano.   Since the description seems to show a Cyclone IV, I am assuming you used a DE0-Nano since the SOC version has a Cyclone V.

     

    Nice work on the Quartus II walk-through.
