I have never had to explain that to somebody so I don't know what to tell you. Sorry.Roflo wrote:@bashcommando: What is a RUT?
Imagine a really bad dirt road, where (over time) people's wheels have created trenches because they're always driving in the same place. Those trenches are "ruts". The trenches/ruts make it hard to steer and tend to force you in the direction of the rut.Roflo wrote:@bashcommando: What is a RUT?

When someone says "I'm in a rut" they're mostly saying they've been doing the same thing for so long that they're having trouble doing something different.
At least in this field it is very common to be in a rut.Roflo wrote:I thought it would be a special term in the os dev language
Oh, "rut" is a very common term (with very same meaning) in my native language (Saraiki) and my national language (Urdu) also. I thought that they are talking about any other "rut".Brendan wrote: Imagine a really bad dirt road, where (over time) people's wheels have created trenches because they're always driving in the same place.

I don't think this is a custom font.muazzam wrote:Look like you're using your own font. Is it true?bashcommando wrote:I have yet another problem, I am trying to figure this out but whenever I press enter or return it only produces a carrier return and not a newline. Therefore...
Nah, that looks like standard Codepage 437.muazzam wrote:Look like you're using your own font. Is it true?
Oh, I was wrong. Characters were looking strange due problem in my computer's monitor resolution.Bender wrote:Nah, that looks like standard Codepage 437.muazzam wrote:Look like you're using your own font. Is it true?
I eventually fixed this, but later there was a bug that it couldn't detect files in the filesystem(I am currently fixing this). It might be another stupid error like I messed up the syntax or something. I was programming my OS at around 11 PM last night so anything is possible.muazzam wrote:Oh, I was wrong.

Heheh, I'm actually interested in game development as well. I might develop simple games for my OS after it's matured enough.SpyderTL wrote:Looks a lot like Space Invaders. Maybe you should just finish it up as a game instead of an OS!
