Current progress of the game. Rat can collect floppies, brake flower pots. Points are added (BCD format).

Brooms are not doing anything now to the rat. All doors are closed. Those are next features to implement.

We eventually released the IP Transit Services separately.
VPS House's IP transit services is a reliable, powerful and customizable solution designed to deliver incredible performance at the most cost-effective price in the world.

We'll also launch another mysterious service early next month.

Added my classic floppy ASCII art.

@lynze @gabriel @PapaFriki Otra sería no usar Docker, porque siempre son las instancias con Docker las que dan problemas. Viva el #baremetal 🤣

First string printed!

#Assembly #BareMetal #x86 #OS #DotMatrix #Printer

500 lines of pure x64 assembly.
Just to create a Vulkan instance.
No helpers. No C. No safety nets. Just raw MASM64 and the Vulkan headers.

This is what low-level graphics looks like when you go all the way down.
Next up: surface and device creation.

Released alpha9 of SMOLiX:

It can be run online but without custom glyphs.

Time to get back to some ASCII art so I can include them in the gallery inside my OS!

#BareMetal #ASCIIArt #Assembler #x86

I finally cracked the problem with gaps between characters.

Turns out any characters in columns C and D are rendered as "graphics" (without a gap) and all others as text (with 1px space between each).

After reorganizing my sprites so logo and UI occupies those columns make them work on any EGA/VGA text mode!

This is some black magic knowledge ;)

#BareMetal #ASCII #BIOS #OS

I started writing first lines of code to make this simple game a reality!

#GameDev #Assembly #BareMetal

Updated mascot and CRT screenshots :)

It is a rat and has few frames. I will animate it and use it in the (future) build in games.

#PixelArt #1bit #Assembly #HomeBrew #OS #BareMetal

Changed some code and now it runs (in theory, emulated) on 386 SX, 20MHz, 512KB RAM.

Added few more glyphs for future use.

And the kernel has grown to almost 5KB!

#HomeBrew #BareMetal #OS

Last night I was working on the mouse driver. It is starting to work...

Still needs some tweaks, cursor pointer and most important "double buffer" for restoring replaced chars on screen.

I'm thinking about making super simple drawing program for my OS.

#BareMetal #16bit #HomeBrew #OS

@farooqkz Common Lisp - there are at least *Movitz* (https://movitz.common-lisp.dev/) and *Mezzan* (https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano). #commonlisp #lisp #baremetal

What #unixlike operating systems do you know which are easy to port? Something like #NetBSD. I wonder if there is anything written in #commonlisp or #rust

There are some options but I'm not sure how much easy are they to port. I've heard many positive comments about bare metal development using Rust. I wonder how is common lisp in this regard.

I have extensive programming experience but not on bare metal or kernel programming.

Boosts for wider participation in the discussion are welcome.

I learn to program back in the days of 486, MS-DOS using QBASIC and it's help menu. Nothing else.

Over the next 30+ years I code in almost every (major) languages. Love some (C, LUA, Python), hate some (JavaScript, Java/C#).

Now I found the inner peace with Assembly (x86). I just like to write those instructions, shuffle values in memory and get a working software of it.

Is this the last stage of programmers life?

Lately I'm reading the Intel x86 architecture manuals. I listed instructions that may be useful in the future. Some may required newer CPU. At least I will know there are options.
