FPGA Project

Overview

Created “Find the Bomb”, a maze game implemented with Verilog on an FPGA board as part of a digital design course. Players navigate a random maze to locate a hidden bomb, guided by sound cues. Here’s a snippet of our report:

Key Contributions

• Conceived core game mechanics and designed system logic architecture.
• Implemented a random maze generator using Depth-First Search, ensuring full traversability.
• Implemented movement logic for user-controlled navigation through the maze.
• Implemented proximity-based audio feedback using a buzzer accessory. Beeping speeds up as the player gets closer to the bomb.

Outcomes

Produced a fully functional and engaging game:

• Each playthrough features a random, solvable maze with a randomised bomb location.
• Dynamic audio feedback provides an intuitive sense of proximity to the target.
• Players win by finding and triggering the bomb and lose if detonating it from the wrong position.
