I managed to make Snake move the way it should be^^
But now that I'm working on the apples I get to a problem. I want to make an instable oscilating circuit for a randomizer. But I am not allowed to make an oscilating circuit. Do you happen to have some randomizer examples that I can use to make it?

PS: I have an idea but that would take a massive amount of time an a huge amount of gates with possibly will result in a circuit that is to slow to work properly.

You can use sensor to generate random values.

Can you give a little explantion on the sensor? I can't make a randomizer with only 1 output with it.

It will give a lot of apples when I do it like this. And if I make a demultiplexer for it it will be one with 840 and gates whits I think is a little big...

I am not sore about what you need. But you can use the sensor to give random number for row and column where the apple is located. If this doesn’t answer your question please give more information on what you need.

I have already figured out how it works. My randomizet is now a lot smaller than I initially would design it. Thanks for saying that the sensor is an output and not an input:)

But now I have another question. Why is my circuit oscilating?
It should be a stable flipflop like randomizer...

And if it doesn't oscilate it's a real attack on my clock speed.

Can you please share your circuit here?

Did you already have time to look into it?

I did not figured out how to make it oscillate, so I hope you can give a hint, but looks like performance investigation will take a bit longer.
