I like the new update. I saw the screenshot yesterday and it was epic so far. I wonder what kind of music will be supported?

Can I test it?  Please.

I am glad that that you are releasing the kernel as well.  How easy will it be to program an OS with the kernel?  Also, are all programs compatible with the kernel be compatible with every OS?  Also, DJ mentioned a screenshot, and I couldn't seem to find one in this topic.

Compatible with every OS?  Probably not, unless they don't use any OS provided libraries.  However, I could easily see games being cross compatible.  GUI based programs would probably change across platforms.
Also, I will have a demo out soon, we just did all the testing we needed.  Thank you for the offer.
As for screenshots, the current version looks like this (my version, not Eeems's, who has a slightly different front-end):

It looks amazing. (Considering it's running just like an OS would)  Also, how easy is it to compile against the kernel?  Is it like C, asm, or what?  Can I help with development?  And, last question, will the demo include the kernel separately?

It's z80 assembly.  Also, I will release the kernel in a few days when it is OS ready.

Music right now is not that great.  I may take the sound driver out of the kernel.

Yeah the sound driver is just basic beeps right now, although I wonder if we will be able to make a quad channel or at least dual channel driver that doesn't lower the fps as much...
I will be keeping the sound driver in my version of the Kernel though because I really like using sounds :P

Update
The filesystem now has a basic flat implementation, and I will be supporting the tree in a few days.  In addition, I was able to load a file from the filesystem into RAM and execute it.

Nice :D  I still haven't begun work on my program yet though (this is when I wish mosaic was finished lol.  Offtopic: Is there any way mosaic can just use like doc de to write the programs, and mosaic will compile it.  At least until the gui is finished)

_player1537, does DocDE delimit its data with a zero?  Because that is what Mosaic uses, and the assembler itself is incomplete anyways.

Oh, I must have misunderstood the other day, I thought you had said the assembler was complete, but the gui was not really started.  And I have no clue about how doc de does it :/

The assembler works, but it won't store labels or use inc files.

DocDE just a zero delimited string while editing, but when you save it to a file, it has a special header telling DCS that the file is associated with DocDE (just three bytes) and I do not believe it is zero delimited. it also does not use the standard newline for it's newlines so I'm not sure how you would store yours SirCmpwn but a token parser might need to be created to work with it.

Blegh, too much work.  I'm afraid you will just have to wait.

Sorry if this question has been asked, but will KnightOS grant access to more RAM?
