I demo my new 8 bit minecraft computer the MPU1.0 doing 15x15 in roughly 12.4 seconds. It gives the final answer in hexadecimal so E1 = 225.

This computer does NOT contain a hardware multiplier.

This uses a shift and add algorithm to work out the result in 9 clock cycles and it runs this program at a 1.2 second clock speed.

MPU1.0 Computer Specs:
Hex Display
7 Registers
1 Accumulator
1 ALU - which can do addition, subtraction, carry in, left shift and right shift
15 Byte Data ROM
32 Word 44 Bit Instruction ROM
4 Bit Program Counter
7 Different Testable Flags - for conditional jumps ect.
