Display "Hello World" on an LCD?

If your board has an AC97 chip, program the picoblaze to use button and LCD to build a 
simple volume controller. Or instead of the switches, you could put together a PS/2 
keyboard or mouse interface instead and maybe even an RS232 serial console. Do some DSP 
between input and output if you want - program some BRAMs with FIR filter coefficients and 
select the filter(s) using whichever input method(s) you implemented.

For a 20 days student project, there isn't much time to go much more complicated than 
that. ~30 days would have been enough to start doing some interesting things with VGA 
graphics... it took me about a week to build an usable VGA text console from scratch 
(except for the 8x8 character table ripped from my video card's BIOS) the first time 
around, after which I spent a few more days rewriting it clean, ruggedized and neatly 
pipelined for future-proofing so there wouldn't need to be a second time around.

Be wary of ambitious projects, as they can be highly susceptible to massive temporal 
inflation.
