Project Assignment Instructions Digital Design (Quartus II & ModelSim)
You are required to complete a full digital design project that includes design, implementation, simulation, report writing, and presentation. The project consists of two main sections: Dice Game and GCD Calculator. Make sure all work is accurate, complete, and professionally presented.

# Section 1: Electronic Dice Game Design
Design and implement an electronic dice game using VHDL based on the given rules.
## Steps to follow:
### 1. Understand the System
– Two counters simulate two dice (values from 1 to 6).
– The sum ranges from 2 to 12.
– Apply the game rules exactly as described.
—
### 2. Design the System Architecture
You must divide the system into:
– Data Path:
– Two counters (16)
– Adder (sum)
– Comparator
– Point Register
– Control Unit (FSM):
– Design an ASM (Algorithmic State Machine)
—
### 3. FSM States (Required)
Include at least the following states:
– IDLE
– ROLL
– CHECK_FIRST
– STORE_POINT
– CHECK_NEXT
– WIN
– LOSE
—
### 4. VHDL Implementation
– Write clean, modular VHDL code:
– Separate files for datapath and control unit
– Use meaningful signals and proper naming
– Add clear comments
—
### 5. Simulation (ModelSim)
– Create a testbench
– Verify:
– Dice rolling
– Sum calculation
– Win/Lose conditions
– Provide waveform screenshots
—
—
# Section 2: GCD Calculator Design
Design a digital circuit to compute the GCD of two N-bit numbers (e.g., 8-bit) using the Euclidean algorithm.
—
## Steps to follow:
### 1. Understand the Algorithm
Repeat:
– If A < B B = B – A
– Else A = A – B
Until A = B
—
### 2. Design the Architecture
– Registers: A, B
– Subtractor
– Comparator
– MUX
– Control Unit (FSM)
—
### 3. FSM States
– IDLE
– LOAD
– COMPARE
– SUBTRACT
– DONE
—
### 4. VHDL Implementation
– Modular design (datapath + control unit)
– Use clocked processes
– Ensure correct reset behavior
—
### 5. Simulation
– Apply different test cases
– Show:
– Input values
– Iterations
– Final GCD
– Done signal
—
—
# Quartus II Requirements
