Whack A Mole Presentation

The document describes the design of a Whack-a-Mole game using an FPGA board, LEDs, and buttons. The game starts with a 5-second countdown and then a 30-second gameplay period where a random LED lights up and the player must press the corresponding button, increasing their score. Modules are used to implement the timers, random number generation, scoring, and 7-segment display. The project aims to improve Verilog skills. Additional levels and a more user-friendly interface are suggested for redesigning the project.

Whack a Mole

Project Goal

Design and create the whack a mole game using the FPGA board, LEDs, and
buttons.

Improve our writing and understanding of Verilog code as well as the


implementation on FPGA boards.
Design Specifications
- The game starts with a 5 second counter, then counts down from 30 for the duration of the
game. If the reset button is pressed, the 5 second countdown and the score will restart.
- Once the 5 second timer is done, a random LED will light up and the user has to click the
appropriate button for that LED.
- Once the user hits the correct button, the score, which is displayed using the 7 segment
display, will go up by one.
- If the user does not hit the correct button, the score will remain the same and a different
random LED will light up.
- Each LED will remain lit for one second and if the user does not hit any button within one
second, a different random LED will light up.
- When the 30 second countdown ends, the LEDs stop lighting up and the game is over. The 5
second countdown only starts again if the reset button is pressed.
Design Functionality
Modules
5 Second Timer 1 Hz Clock Divider

- Down counter from 5 to 0 - 1 second clock for each LED and both
countdowns
30 Second Timer
2 Hz Clock Divider Random Number Generator
- Down counter from 30 to 0
- Harder level of the game - Generates a random
Debouncer
number to assign to the LED
- Used for the buttons on Binary to BCD Score Counter
FPGA
- Converts binary input to BCD - Counts the score depending
7 Segment Display
on how many correct
- Displays the score buttons are pressed
Design Functionality
Do’s and Don’ts

Do Don’t
- Communicate effectively with team - Leave all the work and coding for the last
members minute
- Plan out all diagrams and functionality - Give all work to one or two people
before writing the code - Write minimal number of modules
- Write code in advance and write
testbenches to help with debugging
- Be flexible with team members and keep
an open mind
- Use multiple modules
If we could redesign this project from scratch....

- Add more levels to the game using different speeds for the LEDs to light up
- Have a different way of pushing the buttons, or a different configuration of
buttons on the board so that it is more user friendly
- Make it more “Game- Like”, by displaying messages to users
Thank you!
