The Void16 Operating System

Contents

1: About Project

Hello! I'm FanLevel3, a solo developer who created Void16 OS. Anyway, that's my channel name and developer name.

VOID16 OS: Inspired by Temple OS, it features a 16 color palettes and Text Editor. I aimed for it to be fast, small, and lightweight, I intended it to be a fun system for everyone to use, with its own programming language called Ultra C Language. I made it with C language and Some Assembly for Boooloader. Yes I Write my own bootloader because I used GRUB before ans it made my iso file FAT like 9.1mb bro my kernel is only few kbyte bro. So i write my own call NEPBOOT.


2: Bootloader

I wrote my own Bootloader call NEPBOOT. but it does not support multiboot yet. You can see the source in my Github Repo!

3: Kernel

So Kernel is named 16Kernel so it just basic kernel that call the Drivers and Stuff nothing more you can see it in github!

4: TextMode

So I used TextMode VGA so i did not use my own font that is BIOS font and BIOS Resolution. I had an idea of switching to the Graphic Mode (0xA0000) but i think that is not important for now. TextMode is cool and lean!

5: Ultra C Language BETA 0.1

    Press F6 to Compile. type Clear To get into the normal shell.
  • Type show("TEXT"); To show the TEXT.

6: How to run

    1. Download the Void16OS073.iso
    2. Go in to your VM any.(I'll use VirtualBox as an example.)
    3. Make a new VM and then select the iso file.
    4. Set ram to 4mb then select Other and Other/Unknown (Not 64 bit)
    5. And Enjoy Bro!

7: How to use

    -Type dumb to Open DumbText Editor V0.3.
    -Type clear to clear the Shelll.
