Arkanoid), volanti (giochi di corse), pistole (es. Duck Hunt) potrebbero non essere controllabili con joystick, ma richiedono periferiche ad hoc, al momento non configurabili. - I giochi che richiedono controller analogici (Playstation, Nintendo 64, etc etc) potrebbero non essere controllabili con plance a levetta singola, ma richiedono, appunto, un joypad con analogici (venduto separatamente). - Questo elenco è relativo alla scheda NEW PLATINUM EDITION basata su Raspberry Pi4. - Gli emulatori di sistemi 3D (Playstation, Nintendo64, Dreamcast) e PC (Amiga, Commodore) sono presenti SOLO nella NEW PLATINUM Pi4 e non sulle versioni Pi3 Plus e Gold. - Gli emulatori Atomiswave, Sega Naomi (Virtua Tennis, Virtua Striker, etc.) sono presenti SOLO nelle schede Pi4. - La versione PLUS Pi3B+ emula solo 550 titoli ARCADE, generati casualmente al momento dell'acquisto e non modificabile.

  • Project Design: Tetris
    Project Design: Tetris Prof. Stephen Edwards Spring 2020 Arsalaan Ansari (aaa2325) Kevin Rayfeng Li (krl2134) Sooyeon Jo (sj2801) Josh Learn (jrl2196) Introduction The purpose of this project is to build a Tetris video game system using System Verilog and C language on a FPGA board. Our Tetris game will be a single player game where the computer randomly generates tetromino blocks (in the shapes of O, J, L, Z, S, I) that the user can rotate using their keyboard. Tetrominoes can be stacked to create lines that will be cleared by the computer and be counted as points that will be tracked. Once a tetromino passes the boundary of the screen the user will lose. Fig 1: Screenshot from an online implementation of Tetris User input will come through key inputs from a keyboard, and the Tetris sprite based output will be displayed using a VGA display. The System Verilog code will create the sprite based imagery for the VGA display and will communicate with the C language game logic to change what is displayed. Additionally, the System Verilog code will generate accompanying audio that will supplement the game in the form of sound effects. The C game logic will generate random tetromino blocks to drop, translate key inputs to rotation of blocks, detect and clear lines, determine what sound effects to be played, keep track of the score, and determine when the game has ended. Architecture The figure below is the architecture for our project Fig 2: Proposed architecture Hardware Implementation VGA Block The Tetris game will have 3 layers of graphics.
