Pac-Man (VHDL, 800x600) is a student Basys 3 FPGA project written in VHDL. It uses serial terminal (USB-UART 9600 baud), Clocking Wizard 40 MHz, 3 Block Memory ROMs (.xcix). Play it free on this site: the simulation runs on your own PC, no FPGA board needed.<\/p>

How to play<\/h2>

Typing goes to the USB-UART automatically: W A S D move. sw0 = reset<\/p>

What it uses<\/h2>

VHDL \u00b7 serial terminal (USB-UART 9600 baud), Clocking Wizard 40 MHz, 3 Block Memory ROMs (.xcix)<\/p>

Integer ports with different ranges (Vivado allows it) are converted automatically. Runs at about 7% of real time.<\/p>
