Hi Im Terry,
Is there any Intel Quartus FPGA software now that allows the designer to draw the logic gates and the wiring? There was Quartus II 6.1 FPGA software but its a pain and seems impossibl...
I would get the KiCAD schematic/board design tool suite (free) and use it to draw schematics of your design.
Then install one of the various Verilog and/or VHDL netlisters that will produce a netlist file of your schematic in Verilog.
Then you can feed that verilog into the Quartus tools.
Schematic entry for FPGAs has been on the decline for a long time. It is really old school.
But it can still be done, independent of Intel's (lack of) support for schematic drawing direct in the Quartus tools.
That being said Verilog or VHDL is the way to go. Really. Bite the bullet and learn it.
