Need help ASAP! 16-bit single cycle processor

I am supposed to program a 16-bit single cycle (also multi-cycle, but we'll stick with the single cycle for now) processor. All requirements are below. I have a simple data path, but honestly, I wasn't taught a whole lot of coding (except very, very basic stuff), so I'm not sure how to code the components (PC, instruction memory, register, etc.). Any help would be much appreciated.

    It is rather strange that you get such an assignment after only very basic training. I suggest that you start reading a few books about HDL design, split your system in different parts (registers, memory, operation decoding, etc...) and write each of them as a separate component. If you have any specific question, you can post the code you wrote here and ask it. Good luck!
