I would base it on a simple processor I knew a bit about, and give it a simple task...
a Motorola 68000 tribute, capable of executing a recursive subroutine
This goal was too ambitious, so it got downgraded to...
a Zilog Z80 clone, capable of executing a routine to calculate factorials
Later this became...
a computer based on the MOS Technology 6502, capable of executing a multiply routine
Hmmm... sounds all too familiar. I too "put the cart before the horse" sometimes and aim a bit too high for a first step. I'll definitely be watching the videos you recommended later.
That's not a bad thing at all I started that way and slowly my I became able to accurately give estimatea of speeds and functions of new IizR version... of course using The same architecture and just refining it over time, helps a lot.. I still use my original IS, I just change it as wanted/needed)
Love your ideas and design style a lot so far fuir can't wait to see what you accomplish. .. the CPY design theory clicked with u quick.. took me like 6 months to realize how to actually control anything at all xD
