[Resolved] What's next?

[Bobalandi]

Alright, I have made a very, very simple kernel that can print hello world to the screen. What's next? I'm not sure what I should pursue now.

[bewing]

lol! You really ought to get farther than that before you are stuck for ideas.

Create default interrupt handlers, and set up the IDT and GDT next.

Ok, sorry, I'm not out of ideas of what to do, but what order should I do them in?

Set up GDT, IDT, and interrupt service routines. Get exception handling working, and a good panic() function. You need a panic function that:
1) Displays registers, and all of that so you can figure out what the hell happened
2) Displays the file and line number that the panic occurred at.
3) Displays a fun little text animation of an animal with it's tongue sticking out (optional)

Then, get the PIT working, and a keyboard function going, (optional: with a getch() function)

That should keep you busy for 1 to 10 days, depending on how busy you are.
