Yay, this project finally got ship certified! It even got 1310 shells! Thank you everyone who voted. As of this Devlog, MOOSE is in the top 10 projects on SoM! Again, big achievement, so thank you everyone for your support. As for the future of this OS, I might consider adding a few more things and shipping again. So stay tuned for more updates!

After hours working on MOOSE, I've decided to take a break and focus on other projects I have on my TO-DO list. This project won't be abandoned, I'll just stop working on it for a while. Maybe once this projects is ship certified, I might have more motivation to continue.

(oops the old devlog got deleted. sry if this is a duplicate)

Since it's been taking FOREVER to get MooseOS ship certified (it's been 17 days already ;-;), I've started working on MooseOS 0.5!

New features that I've currently added include mouse support, a refined text editor, and lots (when I say lots, I mean LOTS) of bugs fixed. I've also turned MooseOS into an ISO image, like all the other OSes (this took wayy too long, btw).

I've released all these onto a separate branch in MooseOS's repository on GitHub.

Hey y'all! It's nearly time for me to ship this project. I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who supported me on my journey to create my own Operating System. If I knew what MooseOS would become the day I started investigating how my OS works, I would definitely not have believed it.

nice work !

Added multitasking to my OS! Bit hard to show y'all, so here's a picture of the code.

Oh yeah, it’s not multitasking, it’s ‘co-operative multitasking‘, which I think is just a more specific and complicated name for its type of multitasking.

Major code overhaul! Lots of bugs fixed, I won't go through them in detail here.

nice work, and ur code is clean too !

It's time to post a Devlog again! I'm considering shipping this in a few days time, since I have a small holiday coming up :)
Things I've added:
- A system that accesses your hardware clock, and checks the time
- A pong game! Gameplay shown below:

I added a terminal, which supports a bunch of different commands, and Pong game. It's a bit hard to show them all at once, since I can only add one attachment, so here's a Terminal demonstration.

A dock for MooseOS. I also added a terminal, more on that later.

File explorer for MooseOS. :)
It's still Work in Progress, though

time to make vim :)

MooseOS has a file explorer!!

By the way, thank you everyone for your support. The comments I have recieved regarding this project has really motivated me a lot. Thank you! :)

File Explorer for MooseOS. The graphics look really basic, I might upgrade it later. For now, I'm more focused on the functionality.

this looks awesome, retro GUIs have a certain special charm to them (dunno why)good work!

MooseOS GUI is working! This is a demo.

Looks like those old Windows GUI screens. That’s a good thing, right?

Things to add next: GUI, or mouse support. Which one should I work on first?

Update attachment
Bob Bob about 2 months ago
Yep, just implemented GUI :). Thanks for your suggestion!
Arca Ege Cengiz Arca Ege Cengiz about 2 months ago
I’d say do GUI support because mouse support without GUI is pretty much useless but you can make a keyboard-only GUI

Added a shell! However, it currently can't edit or run text. I am working on that.

If any of you are wondering, I’m running on macOS. Thus, I’m using binutils ported from Linux to Mac (i386-elf-binutils), and QEMU as I don’t have GRUB.

UPDATE: I'm currently adding a shell for my OS. It can make, delete and look inside files and folders. I don't have any pictures to show y'all, I'll do it once I'm done.

Or, in my case, a very basic filesystem.

Update attachment

Currently implementing a filesystem! May not work though, but at least I thought about the idea :)

Update attachment

I added keyboard support! Currently working on: caps lock key implementation, a terminal with a working shell.
