Don't have any specific suggestions except to say I did a similar sort of
project for my undergraduate course.


I was handed a 3-inch thick assembler listing, of a half-finished port of an
existing compiler, and told to get it working!


In fact I just started again, and for good measure implemented the language
(a very simple one that could only just about be called high-level) in
itself (which I thought was neat, although my supervisor wasn't that
impressed..).


And yes it is more satisfying to have something that is all your own work
and that also works exactly as expected!
