COURSE PROJECTS
• PI Calculator CPU - Designed and programmed a custom computer system using VHDL and assembly on Altera FPGA board to calculate digits of pi sequentially using the Spigot Algorithm. Accurate to 4,799 places. Algorithm is easily extensible to any number of places, but bounded by hardware, particularly the size of available memory.
• LC-3 Disassembler - Programmed in assembly for the LC-3 simulator, accepts LC-3 assembly codes via user input in ASCII and disassembles them into the corresponding machine code.
• LC-3 HEX/Decimal to Binary Converter - Also in LC-3 assembly, accepts hex and decimal numbers via user input and converts them into binary equivalent.
• Simulated Intersection - Designed and built a logic circuit which would display lights in timed sequence, representing three traffic lights and one crosswalk light at a 3-way T intersection.
• Space Invaders-type Arcade Game - Programmed a simple arcade game in Java, featuring increasing difficulty, local high score boards, several cheat codes, and four enemy characters with rudimentary AI behavior.
