    <p>I have a class on low level programming which requires a final project (syllabus at the end). It is basically a piece of software that puts to use all you learned.</p> <p>I had a few ideas, like designing my own Roguelike (should be kind of like Nethack, only single-player), but I'd like some suggestions on alternatives. It needn't be a game, can be anything. Timeframe is a month and a half, and I have other projects, etc. so it shouldn't be <em>too</em> time consuming to implement.</p> <p>Requirements:</p> <ul> <li>Use, at least, 4 I/O devices, one of which should be the mouse or serial port</li> <li>Some of those devices should use interrupts, others should use polling</li> <li>Languages: C and Assembly (mandatorily, else there is a penalization)</li> <li>Implement state machines</li> </ul> <p>The peripherals we were lectured on were:</p> <ul> <li>Graphics card - Graphical mode</li> <li>Graphics card - Text mode </li> <li>Mouse</li> <li>Keyboard</li> <li>Real Time Counter</li> <li>On-board Speaker (via timers 0 and 2) </li> <li>Serial port</li> </ul> <p>This is the abridged syllabus:</p> <blockquote> <p>Input/Output peripherals and their operation Direct mapping in a process address space Access to peripherals in polled mode and by interrupt Processor interrupts in the IA-32 architecture and the interrupt controller. Writing interrupt service routines in Assembly and in C Study of some typical personal computer peripherals, such as keyboard, mouse, graphics card, real time clock, timer, loudspeaker and serial port.</p> <p>Programming in the C programming language: main differences with respect to C++ language; structured programming in C. Memory layout of a process. Function calls: mechanisms, parameter passing, storage of local variables and return values. Combined programming in C and the IA-32 processor family assembly. Creation and use of libraries. Static linking of object code.</p> <p>Use of software development tools: gcc, make, gdb, ar, prof, diff, patch and SVN</p> </blockquote> <p>Thank you for your time!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
