       Show HN: Tamagotchi P1 for FPGAs
        
       After being thrust headfirst into FPGA development thanks to the
       Analogue Pocket, my first from scratch creation was a gate level
       implementation of the original Tamagotchi toy.  The core, running
       on both the Analogue Pocket and MiSTer platforms, lets users re-
       experience the very first Tamagotchi from 1996 with accurate
       emulation, but modern features. The core has savestates (which is
       much harder to do in hardware vs software emulation), high turbo
       speeds (1,800x was the max clock speed I've reached so far), and
       more.  Learning more about hardware and FPGAs is something I've
       wanted to do for many years, and I highly recommend it for any
       programmer-brained person. It's a very slightly different way of
       thinking that has vast consequences on how you look at simple
       problems.
