What's Fractal OS written in?

 

[Gust]

I'm betting he's making the first OS ever written in VB.Net.

 

[Tdata]

^_^ Should be interesting to see how he programs windows without using WinAPIs. Also, I could see this with maybe C++.Net... But VB.Net...

An extract of source code written in the Lionel++ language.

Other examples might include the following function to ask what's going on here:

Not sure (what) is going.on here++

Use a Java/C# mix to create the Kernel... And PHP to program all that boring stuff to deal with the hardware.

Ok
Windows is going insane right now, so I need to reinstall it,
so no development.

 

[Lionel Tabris]

Windows is working again,
and I have some executable code written.
I have to create a Parser to turn this into a executable file though...

 

#File:Fs.sys

echo Loading setup files;

set(Memory Table,0x016235 to 0xEEEEEE)

load_macros(Macros exe.mcs)

load_data(Setup.cexe)-w

Create Handler(Self)

Create SHandler(AddressOF Setup.cexe)

SHandler.Main=true

Handler.close

echo Starting setup

Hand(true,new Ring("System",true,true))

 

 

[Lionel Tabris]

Ok......
Windows will not boot on a clean install so my computer is gone...
No Development until my computer is fixed

 

[Lionel Tabris]

Development Started again...
Video Dev Notices will start to be posted

Bootloader:GRUB

Kernel:Dexywn

Might i ask what the Dexywn Kernel is? Is that some sort of branch off a Linux kernel? If it is, how does it differ from the original Linux kernel? Also I'm not saying you aren't making this, all this screenshot has is the name "Fractal" in the title bar, nothing more. It doesn't reflect using Grub to load it; or anything.

Use a Java/C# mix to create the Kernel...

why mix java and c# when java inspired c#?

And PHP to program all that boring stuff to deal with the hardware.

... :O

 

[Lionel Tabris]

It`s not linux baised, and Dexwin is the id of the kernal(Dexwin=Fractal, Darwin=Mac osx)
The screen was a old shot when it had a custom bootloader that started kmain() into a loop with nothing in it.
Also, languiges are c,cpp,c#,asm.

I KNEW someone wouldn't see the irony in my words XD
So let's be obvious now: I was being sarcastic.

OK, hmmmm...

Lionel, could you explain me (or us) what's the point of creating an OS?
What are your trying to accomplish knowing that there's already a couple of excellent and professional OS on the market?
I hope you're not trying to surpass Windows or Mac or even Linux for that matter because a single person can't do that.

But putting these things aside, what are the main features of your said OS?
Is there anything you think you can make better than the others I mentioned above?

Personally it just seems to be a hugeassepic waste of time...

It can be always for learning purposes, the experience from programming something will be still there after finishing it. But if that's the case, publishing the program and the progress on it in a forum like this doesn't make sense.


Lionel, this forum is about programs and utilities for game developement, why are you presenting here your work on an OS? You should create a blog in wordpress, blogger, or your own host for something like this.

Yes you're right, I totally agree. However, I don't see the point of posting this if he has nothing to show us, and even worst than that, nothing to tell us.
Oh well, maybe this will be good once it's done, but the updates are pointless.

i have a suggestion then, when you have a shell built to display the basic user interface and windows, similar to explorer, allow custom css rules to format the windows and taskbars defining borders and colors,
