Hack Computer - Will It Pong? Part I 

In this first video in the sub-series of building the HackCPU Computer using Logisim, I integrate the HackCPU, VGA module, and keyboard into the system on chip component built from prior videos. I then attempt to load and run the pong game from Chapter 6 of The Elements of Computing Systems on a Digilent CMOD A7 FPGA.

You will need the develop branch from Logisim Evolution in order to pick up the board design for the CMOD A7, until such time as my changes make it into a Logisim release.
You will need the Vivado product from Xilinx to synthesize the design for the Digilent board. It's huge, but free (if you give your information). Sorry. I did not write it.

You will also need a PS2 keyboard and connector break-out of some type. I got mine at a second-hand electronics shop in Salem, OR. Shout out to Norvac Electronics: norvac-electronic-parts.busin...
But if you want to buy one new, try: www.adafruit.com/product/857
You will need a VGA breakout board, such as: www.amazon.com/dp/B08FYPTWDQ/...
