ByteBasher

Our digital take on the classic "Whac-A-Mole" game that uses hand proximity detected by a series of ultrasonic distance sensors on an MCU to register hits on a VGA screen, with a De1-SoC FPGA board manading the increasing game difficulty and score updates.

Miscellaneous Notes

Scuffed Timeline

No way we pull this off

De1-SoC Master Population List:

• HEX0, HEX1 (dual place counter)
• HEX5 (LFSR testing)
• LEDR [9:0] (binary enable signal from GPIO)
• GPIO1[0], GPIO[1], GPIO[2] (binary read from digitalWrite output)
