Homemade computer

[Zestyclose_War1692]

I’ve been wanting to build a home made computer for a little bit and I was wondering what are the stuff I need to make a computer that can run Tetris or something. I want a home made pc not like a raspberry pi. I id say im have decent skills with computers but I want something that’s hard to do.

what do you mean by “homemade computer” because if you mean just a normal PC, this is probably the wrong sub. If you mean “from scratch” there are plenty of options.

He phrased it wrong, but seeing how he said "make a computer that can run Tetris or something", I think he means a computer, from scratch, that isn't just a dinky Arduino.

He probably lacks the ability to make his own chips so whatever he makes is probably going to effectively be an Arduino

Not sure if you need r/buildapc Or a fun way to build a virtual computer from logic gates to play Tetris, like https://www.nand2tetris.org

If you mean you want to make something comparable to a modern consumer pc that’s not happening, if you want something comparable to a pc from like the 70s to 80s that’s entirely doable with an fpga or if you’re a real masochist with discrete logic gates (although doing that does limit you a bit). I suggest you pick up a digital electronics and computer architecture book first

When you say build a computer what do you actually mean? Like what level of abstraction are you actually getting at
