What does your OS look like? (Screen Shots..)

[max]

Hi! First post here.
I've been working on a bootloader for around two weeks, and I've begun work on a kernel. It's not much against everyone else's operating systems, but it's a start
It's called "Calcium", and the screenshot shows a simple hello world message.

It's important for the bones!
Welcome to the community, have a nice time here.

Everyone starts simple!
What language are you writing in? And is it 32 bit or 16 bit?

It's C in 32 bit mode, but my bootloader can load 64 bit ELFs. I want to get things working in 32 bit first, just so I can concentrate on the basics.

I have renamed my OS from Neon to Star.
I got the IDT, IRQs and PIT timer working! I know it's nothing compared to what's around, but I'm pretty proud of myself.
Written entirely by me in assembly language.
I aim for something like Kolibri OS (I know it's not going to happen, I just wish.)

If you lose hope like this, you won't succeed. Keep your hopes high and work hard, and you will succeed!
PS: It's nice to know I'm not the only one who is so jealous of Kolibri OS and Menuet OS too.

First program for my new GUI -- System Information!
Here it is, demonstrating the new CPUID!

Nice GUI! What graphics mode are you using?

Thanks! It's actually a really simple VGA Mode 0x12.

It looks like Windows 8

Not good, I've been aiming for it to look like Windows 3

I wouldn't have recognised Windows 8 in it, but it's most definitely not like Windows 3.x. For that your button is too flat, and the window border had no 3D effect at all. In fact, I think the border was grey and only the window title blue.

But perhaps having your own look isn't that bad after all.

Well, I guess it isn't so bad.

This again isn't really impressive when it comes to output , but there's a lot going under the hood.

A couple of days ago, I ported a TinyBASIC compiler to my Virtual Machine, I've been experimenting with it since then, I've managed to extend the language a little bit, (adding while loops, operators, etc.), and today I managed to be able to run the code on the VM.

Here's a little Fibonacci generator written in my "extended" dialect of TinyBASIC:

Code: Select all

REM Fibonacci generator
LET I = 1
LET X = 1
LET Y = 0
WHILE I <= 10
 
        PRINT "FIB: "; I, X
 
        LET Z = X
        LET X = X + Y
        LET Y = Z
       
        LET I = I + 1
 
ENDW
ASM ".data \{ mystr : db 'Thank You!', 0 \}"
ASM "push mystr"
ASM "syscall SYSCALL_PUTS"
END

And oh, the screenshot:

[Techel]

Yeah, now my little OS can read HardDisks and Partitions

It's always nice when people take pictures instead of exclusively testing in emulators. Real hardware is important.
