So I have been thinking about creating my own miner for the last few days (probably XMR miner).

But there's literally no resources available on the internet regarding how to make one.

Does anyone know more about this?

What resources you need, beside few open source projects available
that you can use as base of your code, or just to learn what to do?

Well I was hoping for a bit more explanation, but I guess since nothing is available I will have to stick with the already available codes.

Well there are a couple reasons why you didn't get the answers you were looking for:

Writing a miner is hard. Very hard. I'm a software engineer with more than 15 years of experience under my belt. I'm quite proficient in x86 assembly, SIMD and low level programming etc. and I still would find the challenge daunting to say the least, but not impossible
Writing a miner that's fast enough to be competitive with the top miners out there requires knowledge, dedication and a LOT of time spent optmizing the shit out of your code. Be prepared for blood, sweat and tears.
Did I mention it is hard? Not many developers know enough about this topic to give advice
Those that do, often do not have an incentive to share their knowledge (i.e. Claymore) because the code is proprietary and they profit from built-in dev fees (which is their right of course)

Don't get me wrong I didn't mean to discourage you, with enough determination and time everything is possible.
