##Project structure

• arkanoid-vhdl-master: main project files (source code)
• Arkanoid Level Editor: a nice wysiwyg level editor that lets you create your own levels, providing functions for loading/saving .mif files. Remember to compile after editing arkanoid-vhdl-master/levels.mif
• Project report (ITALIAN only).pdf: project final report (italian only)

##Setup

1. Create new Quartus II project "arkanoid-vhdl-master"
2. Copy arkanoid-vhdl-master source files inside project
3. (Quartus II) Assignments -> Import Assignments -> File name: /PATH_TO/DE1.qsf -> Ok (DE1.qsf is located in "arkanoid-vhdl-master" folder)
4. Compile
5. Program device (after connecting DE1 board through USB port)
6. Connect a display through DE1 VGA port
7. Connect a PS/2 Keyboard to DE1 PS/2 Port
8. (optional) Connect a buzzer to DE1 GPIO_0(0) pin
9. Press spacebar
10. Enjoy :)
