MOOSE, previously known as SimpleM, is a small, retro-themed, x86 operating system. Some of its features include a GUI, a real-time clock, a terminal, a file explorer, and a text editor.
It's 'description', "Moderate Overdose of System Eccentricity", describes it moderately well.
More information about this project, such as instructions to run it and a detailed list of its features, will be posted on its GitHub README.
Enjoy!

Once you ship this you can't edit the description of the project, but you'll be able to add more devlogs and re-ship it as you add new features!
Yes, I'm rewriting all the code again. I added a TSS and I'm currently adding exceptions. I've also made a blog post about my journey coding MooseOS, which you can find here: https://ethanzyx.vercel.app/blog/JOURNEY-MOOSE
Ship 3
This ship is currently being voted on by the community. Check back later!
There's been lots of major updates, including audio implementations (yay!!!). Since I don't want to list EVERYTHING I did, please just check my MooseOS commit log here: https://github.com/frogtheastronaut/moose-os/commits/main/
Planning on shipping soon! Fixed some stuff in the READMEs. Note that the .txt version of the README is deprecated, since taking care of 2 READMEs is too big a burden. Below is a video on how to run the new version.
I've been trying to patch some holes/interesting stuff in my code. It's easier said than done, given the fact that MOOSE contains 8000 LINES OF CODE!! I've also been adding some small 'quick information' sections, as MOOSE is designed to be so that anyone, without knowning any OS theory, can easily understand the code as long as they have sufficient C knowledge. I've come to the realisation that MOOSE probably won't ever be bursting with contributors, nor will it be my main source of money, so I'm trying to position MOOSE as a more educational OS for those who enjoy OS Dev (it's a fun topic!!)
While MOOSE still looks the same, it definitely is not. I just added Disk I/O into my OS, so it writes into an actual .img image, and saves your files!!! It's feeling a lot like a real OS now.
After messing for ages with other projects (go check 'em out), I have come to the realisation that making MooseOS was indeed the most fun project I have ever made. Thus, I'm continuing to work on this. While it may not look like it, but MooseOS had a COMPLETE OVERHAUL. Basically all the files got rewritten, even the README got completely rewritten. I'm planning on making MOOSE open source, so stay tuned for more details! I'm also welcoming contributors, so... if you every wanted a project to help.... MOOSE is here.
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.
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.
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.
Looks really great!
GUI Text :)
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?
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.
Currently implementing a filesystem! May not work though, but at least I thought about the idea :)
I added keyboard support! Currently working on: caps lock key implementation, a terminal with a working shell.
Cool OS
Nice work
nice work !
