Brick Breaker

For our group's final project, our goal was to implement a version of BrickBreaker on the NEXYS 4 DDR board. While the initial plan for the project was to build the game entirely from scratch, due to our group's fragmented locations geographically, as well as the limited hardware availability and time, it was decided that we should base the project around a variety of previous projects (some complete, some not).

While the original plan to write the VHDL code from scratch was met with some initial progress, it was ultimately decided that the amount of effort being put in to the project was not worth the very little progress being made. This along with the looming time constraint required us to look to past projects to help construct our own.

After some searching, the group came across several similar projects that helped greatly in the process. These are linked below in the Helpful Links section. While none of the code was able to be directly used in our project, following their logic greatly aided in editing the code for the Bat and Ball lab that we had previously completed in class. Much of the code, including the constraint file, comes from this Bat and Ball lab.
