SHOULD A BEGINNER ATTEMPT A VIRTUAL MACHINE PROJECT?
You might want to check out Q3VM (A stripped down virtual machine from Quake III).
- Is it possible to dynamically execute C code from C++?
- Is there a Plan9 port for TCC?

Where can I find the source code of C language itself?
Finally, the compiler itself is the easy part, emitting x86/x86_64 instructions is where it starts to get very complex. For this reason, I really recommend Q3VM (https://github.com/jnz/q3vm). It is a single file VM (originally written for Quake III) which interprets fantasy but greatly simplified instructions from a slightly modified LCC compiler (also part of the project). This might be very useful to learn from.

To the older gamers on reddit: How did games take community feedback back then?
John Carmack had what was called a .plan file where he documented his work, starting in 1996, initially mostly for himself but later started acting more like a blog where he would reply to people and write his thoughts. https://github.com/oliverbenns/john-carmack-plan
