Not another OS!

[SatansSimon]

Okay guys,
I'm planning to make an OS again but now (with the help of Drunkie's nice tutorial) in a combination of E2 and GPU.

As I want it to be able to read and execute code which is not hardcoded in the OS itself I wanted to ask if anybody knows how I could, let's say draw a rectangle at a given position with an external code?


The OS itself is only a building of thoughts but I plan to include database-support and many more so this is just a thread where I try to get help when I get stuck.

Are you going to make a complete OS with kernel and all, or just a shell?

You could make an interpreter in E2, but it would probably be too slow to function well.

[SatansSimon]

Well, as I don't exactly know what a kernel describes I asume it will be a shell, but I'm not sure.

EDIT:

Read the wikipedia entry about kernels and mine goes to be a complete OS with kernel.
I plan to support different systems of data-storage which I'm still thinking about.
I would like to have a EPROM, a CD-ray and a E2-based array-storage for maximum compatibility.

Good luck. I made an interpreter in E2 a while back, a simple one, but it was just awfully boring to code anything in it. Since you are going to make the kind of OS that does not need any external tools to write programs, that means you will have a working hard-drive writing ability, which kinda makes it doable to write lots of code.

Anyway. What do you think about joining efforts? I have loads of assets that I'm trying for my own OS including notepad thingys, cpus, and even a graphics card that lets you draw shapes and text on digital screen. We could meet up on some server and try coding something together.

i got an idea for the externa;l code thing you mentioned. you could put plug sockets in and place the E2 chip on the plug and wire it through the plug ( in other words , a plugin). you could specifie certain data ports for certain thing and make the BIOS detect if it is in the true place.

kind off like this:

i dont know

you got a cookie anyway

@Nikita:

Thank you for your offer but my internet just sucks. I'm going to repair it in 2 or 3 weeks but until then I can't play on any server without lagging every 2 seconds.


@GmodSector:

I had nearly the same idea but my problem is how I should do this in the GPU. Wait. I have an idea. I could just have a label for every kind of drawing... but then I would still have a problem with polygons. Another possibility for external code would be to save and load it via the file-function. Then you would just have to spawn a E2 with a predefined code to split up this file into commands in an array and GLON-encode this, send it to the interpreter and ready is it^^


But I still have to plan things and do lots of drafts^^




Anyways, thanks for all your help already.

This isn't an instant messenger, you can think before you type..

[SatansSimon]

Well, no. I can't think before I type. I think while typing. I also have to talk to another when I think about things. Well. I don't have to, i could simply write it down but it helps me to talk to somebody while I'm trying to figure something out. Is doesn't even matter if the other knows what I'm talking about so it just helps me to talk/write while I'm thinking. And it's my thread, it's not your problem how my posts look like, is it?

I doubt that would help him very much...
