The MiSTer project[0] is a wonderful open-source introduction to a practical use case for FPGAs. It uses verilog to describe how the DE10-Nano chip should be set up to resemble various classic computers, arcade machines, and video game consoles. With a single device you can have an Apple II+, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and a SNES. Currently it supports up to the PlayStation for console cores, which is probably the upper bounds for the DE10-Nano. If you want more info, My Life in Gaming has a great overview video[1] of the MiSTer that covers it in depth. The entire project feels perfectly in line with hacker mentality and is exciting to watch grow. There's nothing like playing Super Metroid with an original SNES controller on a CRT at the end of the day.
