Tunnel Vision is a game designed on the Xilinx Nexys 3 FPGA board. It uses the Picoblaze softcore to control the gameplay. The display controller lets the user view the game via a monitor through a VGA cable.
The player tries to avoid hitting the walls as it travels down the tunnel by moving the vehicle left and right. The space in between the walls steadily decreases until the player hits a wall or obstacle. The score is based on the amount of time the vehicle remains "alive", and is displayed on the 7-segment display.
The player can move his vehicle by using the left and right pushbuttons on the Nexys3. When the game is over, hitting the middle button will reset the course. The top button starts the game and the bottom pushbutton pauses it. Different icons and speeds can be selected by toggling the switches on the board.
Tunnel Vision features both starting and ending screens. The courses are generated randomly through a combination of a pseudo-random generator (LFSR) and user input (via pushbuttons and switches). Additionally, the LEDs are lit with certain patterns depending on the action the player is taking. If the player selects the harder difficulty, the score is incremented at a faster rate and with a multiplier, awarding them a higher score for the same distance traveled.
In the future, we hope to add features such as:
