Guitar-Hero
A primitive implementation of a classic game in verilog. This was presented as a final project for CSC258 at the University of Toronto. Co-authored with Lucas Fenaux.
The game scrolls from bottom up and includes a random number generator that selects randomly among predefined patterns. The game in it's current state does not speed up/slow down. To play, hook up to a monitor and use the A,S,L and ; keys on your keyboard that respectively correspond to column 1,2,3,4 (Player 1: c1,c2; Player 2: c3,c4).
Bugs
There is a graphical glitch where the first column of each block is off by -1 on the y-axis. This is most likely due to a mistake in the if conditions (>= instead of > or vice versa) in the vga plotter module.
We are unsure, but we suspect that our logic for "sticky keys", keeping the state of a key for the duration of a block update, may be flawed leading to timing issues when playing. We didn't have enough time to investigate this adequately. This may have led to a bug in the scoring mechanism too, or they may be independent, or the score may not be buggy. We don't know and have no plans on coming back to this.
