    If you haven't read it yet, I would recommend starting with some of the Altera documentation for this board, such as:

    http://www.altera.com/literature/univ/upds.pdf

    I scanned this document, and I noticed specific information to help you build a VGA monitor driver and use a mouse input. Off the top of my head, I know there are some cool basic games or graphics for a VGA display. Perhaps you could adapt one of those and make a game as a project.

    Hi Randal, i have just finsih reading the pdf file you send to me. Sorry for taking a long time cause was having test week.

    So what do i have to do now concerning your suggestion on buidling a VGA monitor driver and use a mouse input with some cool basic games? How many UP2 do i need?

    oh yea, some doubts about the user guide i read,

    1 - Page 26 & 27, i dont know what is FIGURE 13 and 14 for...

    2 - can UP2 support up to 1024 * 768 pixels? Can it be used for both CRT and LCD?

    Looking forward to your ideas and replies. thanks!
