    We are currently building a 6-bit programmable computer.

    I will be updating this quite frequently whenever a new major part is built.

    Current functions:

    Program: Jump line(num), Jump page(num),reset, no function.
    ALU: AND, OR, XOR, ADD, NAND, NOR, XNOR, NOT.
    GPU: Print, clear, will add more.
    Display: Display number/letter/symbol(Like ARAY typewriter).
    DRAM: Register to RAM, Load RAM to register.
    Register usage: NUM to REG, copy register to register.
    If: If A=B, If A!B, If A > B, If A < B

    There will be more when more major components are built but know I need You to suggest some functions that would be good. Feel free to ask anything about plans for the creation and ect.

    Hope you enjoy it when its finished.

    Y U NO make it 8 bit? Or 4 bit?
    You break computer making rules.
    I've never seen a 6 bit computer before.
    Remember: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128...

    I don't see whats wrong with 64. The reason I chose it was because it fitted the font needs for the GPU.

    There are 64 combinations in 6-bit binary, now whats wrong with that? And we need suggestions for functions not complaints.

    byte may physically contain any nunber of bits, not only 8
    dont see anything wrong with 6-bit processor

    How much registers are in it?

    I remember when I was making a programmable computer....I have to say, I couldn't see what was wrong with the 10-bit design that we were making.

    We haven't yet decided, do you have a suggestion for the how many?
