FPGA GAME GRAPHICS PART 0: MOTIVATION

May 22, 2020



FPGA hardware has been getting a lot more affordable, and I have a few ideas for
projects. The new low-cost boards that combine FPGA-style programmable logic

I’m not ready to give up on these speakers just yet. They sound great, but the
control LCD is messed up. I wonder if I can get it working even better than

my experience can teach you a thing or two about the process.

people to grab with their lunch. Every Tuesday and Friday morning (I think)

into a cup and sip. The only thing we had to drink was Allhambra water from huge
water coolers. The division I worked in usually had doughnuts once a week.
