DE1 Setup
Prototype setup on an Altera DE1 board with joystick input.
FPGA / Altera DE1
Goldmomo Mini
A self-written FPGA-based game system experiment: CPU, GPU, memory map, IO and an emulator for debugging software.
Archived project, kept for historical interest.
FPGA note: This was one of my first steps with FPGAs. Looking back, large parts of the code could be written much simpler, cleaner and more optimal today. It remains here as a learning project and archive.
