[2020-12-11] This week we worked on getting the game to look more like the original game and we were finally able to make the background and the game the same color to make it appear like the gap is not there. The game is completely done. Just need to finish up the documentation end of things for the project and possibly adding an Attila sprite if there is time.
-----------------------------------------
[2020-12-4] we were able to get the game fully functional and now we have to just work on making the graphics better

[2020-11-27] Continued researching and implementing sprites/images into the project. Modified 2019s group 1 code to work with clk_wiz and display it on the VGA screen. Found error on 2019F group 2’s code. Also, changed the ball color, wall color, and gap color (for testing purposes). Adjusted the orientation of the game from vertical to horizontal and corrected screen dimensions. Successfully added sprites into working code - will implement at a later time.
[Contribution] updated files are on github
-----------------------------------------
[2020-11-20] Continued researching and implementing sprites/images into the pong game. Found out that there was a group in the Fall 2019 class called “Ducks in the Hudson” that have a similar approach to the game layout that we have with Flappy Atilla.
-----------------------------------------
[2020-11-13] This week I worked with my group to complete labs 4,5, and 6. We also worked together to begin setting up our final project called Flappy Attila. We had initial meetings on who was responsible for what aspect of the project and begin initial research

[2020-11-6] This week I worked on getting all of the documentation correct on Github. This included making a README and learning how to organize all of the files and only putting significant files in, in a consumable way.
[Contribution] While creating the README I was having a tough time figuring out how to format it like the one on the class website so I used: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/writing-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#lists
-----------------------------------------
[2020-10-30] This week I worked on doing the documentation on my class site in DSD Labs to adequately document what we were able to find and documented each lab. This includes links to the youtube videos and images of different steps in the process including the code that was changed

------------------------------------------
[2020-10-23] This week I worked on processing the videos of the FPGA board running the code from labs 1-3 and uploaded the videos to YouTube
------------------------------------------
[2020-10-16] Completed labs 1, 2, and 3 and got documentation but still have to upload the code to my gitHub. I also worked more on familiarizing my self with vivado and how it works.
[contribution] If you do not have a VGA display on your monitor I found this cord on amazon that is an adaptor [Here is the link]
-----------------------------------------
[2020-10-9] I actually started watching videos on fpga to further familiarize my self with the device after picking it up from Professor Lu before starting the labs next week
[Contribution] Found this website that has amazing resources and tutorials: https://www.fpga4fun.com/MusicBox.html
[Contribution] I also hosted Hacktober Fest on October 10th
------------------------------------------
[2020-10-2] had a lot going on this week but made sure to go through chapters covered in class and do examples.
[Contribution] I also found this link which basically runs through a beginner tutorial basics on working with FPGA: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/tt/tt_my_first_fpga.pdf
[2020-09-23] With everything up and running smoothly, went back through to areas we have read in the text book so far and read them again. refined this website. Created my group "Digital System Designers" and began talking about logistics for the semester
[2020-09-16] Had to fix a few things with my GHDL and GTKwave, still running into the issue of having to redefine the path every-time I want to use GHDL. Went through the adder tutorial and flip flop.
[2020-09-09] Dowloaded GDHL and GTKwave for class, ran hello world, and also got through text book chapters 3 & 4. Added the link to my notes on the digital design page and also a button that will bring me to the class website and text book.
[2020-09-02] Went through the syllabus and created this google site and refined it. Also researched how to write logs in IEEE style and read chapter 1 & 2.
