Abstract for group Life

Being that the VGA output is 640x480, we will limit the "game board"
to 480x480. Each "being" will be a 10x10 square, so our board will be
48x48.  We'll need to keep the "game board" and current state of the
beings in memory.

We will use the SRAM controller to hold the game board and access its
contents regularly to update our "life" peripheral, which will be
controlling the display to the VGA. 48x48 = 2304 bits, much larger
than the available memory on the FPGA. Each "1" bit in the game board
map on the SRAm will translate to a living being in that (row,column)
combination.  Likewise, each "0" will just translate to "empty" space
(the background color).

The main game of life algorithm will be implemented in the "life"
peripheral and handled completely in hardware. The software will send
the initialization parameters to the hardware, and the peripheral will
output each generation.  We'll potentially have to add a delay
counter, so as to slow down the output of each generation.
