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

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/

Big update to the GUI! Now with a good, grayscale colour palette

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.

The chatbot believes in SOM!!

I'm training it on some vErY cOOl currently-secret sources. They're public sources, but I manually go over each and process them a lot.

First Contact! 👋🤖

And yes the bot's wierd.

Realistic transmissions and crash physics!

This isn't meant to be a big, skyscraper of a project, but rather a simple and more and personal one, since it IS the bot that's going to be running 24/7 and keeping channel members entertained (i hope). However, no-one's online, and i can't exactly 'test' the bot if nobody spams it until it breaks. If anyone's reading this devlog, it would be really cool if someone could test this. Thanks

Heyo! I made the crawler a LOT faster. The downside is, it's using ALL my CPU, and it's slowing down because my CPU's lagging. I've tried running it on Github Actions, but the file was WAY to large. Also, it's so large my screen recording feature doesn't work ;-;
I might have to find a way around this bug. I ordered a Raspberry Pi off SOM, so that should fix the issue.

my computer is a FACTORY

Alright, after working a bit more on the crawler, I have an idea (google pls hire me)

So, basically, my crawler now outputs information like this. It has a lot of whitespaces, which means that the data would require a bit more Kilobytes. however, not only does this easily seperate the text in the URL, it also seperates text that could be searched in different ways, much more easily (eg. GooglePlay and Google Play and accidentally typing G oogle P lay are the same thing).

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!

alr ive got it to crawl smth. it's simple but it.. works??

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.

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

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

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.

GUI Text :)

MooseOS GUI is working! This is a demo.

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.

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.

'A journey of a thousand miles starts with a simple step'
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.
