Mossy 2.0 - NO BITMAPS FOR YOU

[Brian Smithers]

i can't put the words to it
but i was really bored, and I wanted to make something...
noticeable. And I thought
"What couldn't be more noticeable than an entire operating system?"
so i went out and ventured into the depths of nothingness, studying up on Operating Systems, boot loaders, kernels, C, ASM, etc.
and without further a due, after an scrap and rewrite and 9 builds...
I present...
Mossy 2.0, the worst operating that has ever come into the existence of the universe.

the functionality so far:
•a ton of memory stuff that i wont go into detail about
•a time function that states how long you've been on the horrible OS.
•keyboard functionality :DDDDD (took an entire version to make)
•a ton of inside workings
planned functionality (mostly just quick notes to myself):
1) actual command functionality
2) a file system
3) a few drivers
4) maybe some title intro instead of that horrible thing that just saids whats being loaded
5) you suggest it

please don't say things like "use another kernel" or "this is stupid"
i know this is stupid, but it was fun to make, and the output is fun to play with. now excuse me im going to create uppercase functionality. then a file system.

It's a neat experiment, but honestly I'd work on something more practical. If you're going to do this, you should go all out and make it able to run different programs and manage resources. After-all, that is one of an operating system's purposes, allowing multiple program to share the computer's resources.

thats on the list ;)
the main problem is memory management :( but jincux may or may not help me when hes done with BLG2.
who knows, it was really just a test.
but if Im going to go really far with this, the apps will be written in python.

why is this topic so lonely :C

[dorkdotdan]

Wait, This is it's own freestanding OS?

YESS!!!!! This is it's own freestanding operating system made from scratch by me.
Did you not think that?

[Tomcat]

put it up and make a srs one for community projects.

[Brian Smithers]

it's not done
maybe when it's done ill put up a iso. (as in the first version is done)

[Alyx Vance]

I want to be among the first 1000 to use this OS.

I will build a stuffty computer just to run it.

What is this coded in?

[Brian Smithers]

What is this coded in?

ASM and C.
I would have used C++
but I wanted to learn C.

[Brian Smithers]

well ima rewrite parts of the launching sequence because im too lazy to fix the timing functions.
