#13Turing Complete[0] is a fun game similar to this where you create your own computer from NAND gates, including your own assembly language. [0] https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/

#14Wow that is a great side-project, and a great README to boot. I've been meaning on working through Nand to Tetris after playing around some with Ben Eater's 6502 Computer ( https://eater.net/ )
Would it be at all feasible to build a physical NAND-to-tetris computer? Or is it purely a virtual exercise?

#15Seymour Cray would have loved this. Some of his computers were all NAND gates.

Probably doable, but takes a lot of dedication. Especially debugging such physical endeavors is crazy

How did it help?

A few nand2tetris fanatics have actually done this! And by a few, I mean quite a lot of people. Here's one such hardware project of nand2tetris: https://gitlab.com/x653/nand2tetris-fpga/
But you can Google "nand2tetris fpga" for more.

#19Curious, how many NAND gates are there in total?

There's this one that goes one step beyond that, it's built out of 40,000 discrete transistors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z71h9XZbAWY
