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.

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??
It's still in development. Currently limited to just a crawler.
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.

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.
MOose Operating SystEm (spelt 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, a text editor, and a Pong game! 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!
This was widely regarded as a great move by everyone.
