So I made a CPU Emulator in Python, I am having a few problems but otherwise it runs fine.

So Hello guys!

I am working on an 8-bit CPU in Logisim, named after my girlfriends middle name, and the name of my dog :3
I haven't made much progress yet, I am currently working on an ALU. I have been looking at quite a few datasheets of CPU's including Intel 8080 and the Z80.
The Z80 datasheet didnt help me much and I cant really make much out of it because its so small and blurry.

I am intending to write my own operating system for it and possibly make a few games and stuff. My friend wants me to implement an emulation of it in BYOND so that we can play with it together.

So uhh anyways, heres a screenshot of progress on my ALU, not much to see I know:

So I would really like some advice on things to read up on, videos, etc. Something that describes things in detail.
If anybody would like to join me in my project, let me know!

-snip turns out sending different signals on the same wire is a really really bad idea-

-snip again-

The fucking program keeps fucking up so I am probably gonna abandon this shit.

This looks pretty interesting. Plus I love logic circuit editors and I am actually making a logic circuit designer using XNA. Anyways, did you make any progress on the CPU design?

Well instead of implementing it in a logic editor, (Logisim turned out to be pretty buggy and pretty useless) I am working on a python implementation of it.
One problem I have is that JMP doesnt work, it jumps to zero no matter what. I might need to implement some hardcoded registers instead of having everything memory-mapped.
