To do List:
- Learn how to program the Nucleo development board
- Program the board to read SD cards
- Program something onto and SD card for the Nucleo to read
- order needed parts
I am concerned about finishing the project on time as we are expected to finish the project this semester.

To do List:
- Program board to connect to VGA
- Program board to connect to the controller
- Program board to use assets from SD card
CDR went well, we also learned that the games themselves wont be programed on the SD card but on the board itself. This will make the project much easier.

To do List:
- Program board to connect to VGA
- Program board to use assets from SD card
The controller is working, right now we really just need to get VGA working.

To do List:
- Pick out a VGA shield
- Program everything to work together
Almost every component of the project is functional, the last one is the VGA. We are going to get a VGA shield because programing the VGA connection would be very difficult and the STM32 might not be able to handle it. Once the VGA is set up then all we need to do is connect all the components together and program the connections.
