Source code

This kernel is written in C and has no remarkable innovations of any sort, and is not usable for any purpose, practical or otherwise.



I spend a day or two on this codebase once every 6 months or so.

Features:

• i686 support
• A z80 port that was started, compiled but wouldn't boot, and deleted
• A somewhat meaty but still incomplete printk implementation
• A VGA terminal supporting ANSI escape codes
• Bad choices that will have to be rewritten

I have a handful of ideas on things I would want out of this project if I ever put effort into it. Right now it doesn't even have an IDT. We'll see where it goes.

Thanks for the laugh.

Nice sarcasm

But how a beginner can make an OS with remarkable innovations of any sort, and usable for some practical purpose?

And how to find a pearl in the experienced developer's code if there wouldn't be such new OS advertising thread?

But the impression, shown by you, is a new and interesting perspective to look from.
