Intro<\/h2>\n

Many people are familiar with the situation when there is no Internet, and a small dinosaur appears on the Google Chrome screen. Today we will tell you how to implement this game on the Cyclone IV FPGA board.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We are Yegor Blinov, Egor Kuziakov, and Inga Ezhova — the first-year students of Innopolis University<\/a>. In our program, there was a course «Computer Architecture», where we had labs with FPGA boards Cyclone IV and MAX10. We were inspired by this equipment and decided to implement the project on one of the boards.<\/p>\n

\nShort historical background<\/summary>\n
\n

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGA<\/strong>s) are integrated circuits that enable designers to program customized digital logic in the field. FPGAs have been around since the 1980s and were originally conceived to give all design teams the ability to create custom logic.1<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

Overview<\/h2>\n

The algorithm of the project is as follows: the input data is received from the keyboard, then processed by the logic circuit, after that, the picture is displayed on the VGA screen. The rules of the game are simple and well-known. The dinosaur runs along the road, jumping over the cacti. The game is complicated by the fact that over time the speed of the dinosaur increases.<\/p>\n
