Parser for the course

I'm working on a design for a CSV parser in FPGA. My reasoning is as follows.

1. I'd like to play around with FPGA (it's been a long COVID). To that end I bought a de-10 nano suitable for MiSTer duty - but fact of the matter is - I'm not that nostalgic for actually playing the old games. They're fun but... for me it was always about going to the arcade to try that new game, less so about the actual game.
2. It's seems doable but likely impractical. As far as I can tell nobody does a lot of text manipulation at the circuit level. 
   
3. Let's do it.
