Sam Hastings also known as AstroSam has done exactly what hundreds or even thousands before him have done already. He built his own CPU.

But unlike others, however, Sam initially chose a 16 bit architecture in Logisim, but then developed his own little language called Armstrong in addition to an emulator.

His video regarding the project is not intended as a tutorial, but rather as documentation. However, Sam makes all project resources available on github, and what can be found there, is really something to be proud of.

If you feel like building your own emulated 16 bit computer, this is the perfect starting point.
