Hi Simon,
the mentioned link is for the Spartan 3E Starter kit.
I missed that you are using the S3A/AN Starter kit.
Sorry.

Have a nice synthesis

How about implementing a game around the GUI system, like chess or
something?
I implemented Tom Kerrigan's TSCP Chess on a Spartan 3 pretty easily:

(it evetually had graphic pieces and nicer buttons)

Just an idea.
