What part are you stuck on?

 Do you know how to make an full adder with logic gates? Addition would be the easiest thing to create.

Well, WWLD could be nice - I myself haven't personally worked with it - but indeed even if you made an entire computer out of it you wouldn't want your players/viewers waiting for five to ten minutes for it to complete a complex task plus it might lag due to the required size to do any meaningful calculations. As a start it may help one with understanding the logic but there are also other technologies like NSCN/PSCN/PCTC/NTCT logic, SWITCH/ARAY logic, applications using CRAY, DRAY and all kinds electronics and the more advanced and fastest FILT/ARAY logic, each I'd be happy to explain as needed.

Also, are you planning to have the calculator run in decimal or binary? Plus, do you want to make a system that simply uses TPT logic and 'gimmicks' to perform simple arithmetic calculations or is your goal to eventually make a complex system that behaves a little more like a 'real' calculator (like a small computing system specialized for making calculations). Indeed there is a long way to go in learning from binary to boolean logic, full adders and robust input/output circuitry, but it will all be worth it whether you want to understand just how a calculator works, or even a computer.

Good luck.

ima noob at electronics too, but it doesnt stop me. ive made a biological calculater (or whatever it is!)and it helped a lil to understand the concept.
