I finished the Chapter 9 tutorial, check it out here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fUJ6L__D-FHatS7GQx8QcDLCG5GllcGCyn-kXEXI40w/edit#slide=id.p
I also modified the second part of Chapter 9 in an attempt to create new video game features. I managed to add a red block to the screen that the green square isn't able to go in to. I'm going to keep experimenting with features (though this one took a while) like adding more obstacles or even things that speed up the square! I'm not sure how to do this with Microblaze yet as C code is a lot more beyond me than Verilog at the moment. When I receive the Verilog book I'll be going through that.
I continued setting up Microblaze and tried to connect the keypad Pmod. I saw an example project that people could press the buttons on the keypad and see the output displayed on the seven segment display. I also started chapter 7.
I went through chapter 7 following the book and then going through Evan's slides as well. I also played around with the example code from the Pmods, like the Keypad. Everything was already coded but I had to set up the constraints correctly. Lastly, I decided to do some more research for a project to work on/tackle in the next few weeks.
I finished up the slides for Chapter 7 and added them under Tutorials. I also spent some time starting the microblaze tutorial and looking for interesting ideas with either the pmods or just the board itself.
