Timeline
Implemented a scrolling VGA text buffer with support for colours. Also added a nice blue screen of death for when a kernel panic occurs
Didn't write too much code, just did a whole bunch of reading on the OSDev wiki and a bunch of experimentation (that's why hackatime recorded 2.5 hours). Managed to get a simple paged mode boot with vga text output but then decided to switch to Rust because a) I cba with C tooling, cargo is much better, b) I'd like to learn rust and c) rust cool and also memory safety I guess. Also updated README. Number 1 long term goal is to run Doom (doomgeneric makes that pretty simple by providing a hardware abstraction layer). But to do that, I first need other things (filesystem, proper colour and display output)
Got a simple hello world working, it loads kernel.c. For now almost all of the code is copy-paste from the OSDev wiki, just trying to get things working right now. Also, I added newline support to the VGA display
