Simple game using Max II starter kit

hello... it seems nobody can help me out there.. :) thank you..

by the way, I wanted to post my code that I started. I just um.. anybody who can help me.

or it maybe I'm in a wrong category where I posted this topic. :)

Well, it is your homework, and you have shown absolutely no code, so you are basically asking us to do your homework for you.

Try and write some code. Try and compile it. Describe a plan for what you are trying to do. Come back and ask specific questions.

At least show you are trying first.

Cheers,

Dave

sir, how do i improve this something like adding a several combination of lighting the bulb? let's say 100 combinations or more? how am i gonna do this in an array form or in case?

thank you! :)

You will find it easier if you divide your logic into components, that way you can have multiple instances of each component, eg., multiple 7-segment decoders.

I have attached two examples;

* hex_display_sv.txt (rename to hex_display.sv)

* hex_display_tb_sv.txt (rename to hex_display_tb.sv)

The .sv extension stands for SystemVerilog (the new and improved Verilog).

Now learn how to use the Modelsim simulator to look at your logic. Download and install Modelsim Altera Starter edition, and start the program. Change to a work folder and then compile the files. You can do this through the GUI, or via the command line, i.e.,

# cd c:/temp# vlib mwork# vmap work mwork# vlog -sv hex_display.sv# vlog -sv hex_display_tb.sv# vsim -novopt hex_display_tb# add wave *# run -a

The '#' is the command prompt, you do not type that in.

This sequence of commands compiles the hex display module and then the (very basic) testbench that uses the module.

Read and understand the code.

Create a testbench for your design. Look at the signals in the testbench and see if things work like you expect, and then test them in hardware.

Cheers,

Dave

Thank for your immediate reply sir.. I do have "ModelSIn ALtera Starter Edition v6.4a" installed.

I'm going to test it now. I'll just have test it now. New environment. :)

I will post later result. :)

EDIT:

HELLO ,SIR'

I'm having a trouble running your sample code in ModelSim Altera.

I'd be a little concerned about files with a length of zero ...

ah see.. I think that is the size of file in byte. I just noticed it.

I wonder why it is zero. ??? hmm..

sir, what can you suggest?

anyway I'll be looking ways to find out, thank you! :)

Open the files, are they empty? If so, download the files again from the links in this thread.

I have double checked the file, sir. it's not empty. :confused:

the GUI compilation doesn't work too. :)

Ok, so lets see what is wrong with the tools setup. I'll step through exactly the same procedure I'd expect you to use, and we'll see where we differ.

1) Download the files from the link above and rename them.

2) Start Modelsim. In my case, I tested using Modelsim Altera Starter Edition from Quartus 10.1 which is version 6.6c.

3) Change directory to where you downloaded the files to.

4) Setup the work library

vlib mwork

vmap work mwork

5) Build the components

vlog -sv hex_display.sv

vlog -sv hex_display_tb.sv

6) Run the testbench

vsim -novopt hex_display_tb

add wave *

run -a

Ok, this all worked fine for me.

Check the following Modelsim setting; Compile->Compile Options, click on the Verilog and SystemVerilog tab, and make sure the checkbutton for 'Use SystemVerilog' is checked.

Cheers,

Dave
