Abstract for group Fortune-Teller The Concept: Digital version of a 1950's-era penny arcade fortune teller machine (see "Fortune Tellers" at http://marvin3m.com/arcade/ for an example). The program will display a graphic of a gypsy (possibly with some animation or advertisement text); at a key-press from the user, the gypsy will animate and music will play while she gazes into her crystal ball. Then a fortune will be displayed. The Implementation: - Graphics / animation will be accomplished using sprite graphics and output via the Video Decoder. Sprite Graphics will presumably be done through a sprite generator, hopefully within the on-chip FPGA memory. - Sound will be output through the onboard Stereo Codec. - Fortunes will be constructed of several sentences randomly selected from a list stored in FPGA onchip memory and be output to the screen.
