I want to take a break tonight from project work.

I got a good-enough t08f working, including fit, with the ball making different tones depending on whether it hits a wall or the paddle. This is in the t08f-opt3 branch and I should merge it into master and tidy it up a bit.

NOTE: There is one more change at home which I haven't committed yet.

I also tried adding the blue channel, but it doesn't look like I can get this to fit. Not that concerned because the game DOES work as you'd expect.

So, what next?

  • Finish off t08f code commits and doco.
  • Maybe make a proper plug-in PCB for it? Including a FET to drive the speaker, better buttons, and 9V battery supply?
  • Consider doing a PAL video project: Ball game, or simpler? B/W or colour?
  • Study memory-like Verilog with async reads/writes.
  • Start working towards NES cart.
  • Try DRAM access. Info and this and this. Datasheet.
  • Use DRAM to make a simple video card. Timing should be OK if we can read a whole byte at a time, in advance, before displaying its respective pixels. This is perhaps where "colour planes" come in, too.
  • CPU driver (Z80 or 6502?)
