GUI, Anyone? This week, I finally got the Dev Kit to install! That means I finally got the thing I was most interested in: canvas! Because of that, I mainly focused on reimplementing and improving the experimental GUI (which currently has no name). I also thought I had to reimplement the mouse driver, however I was able to just use the one made by SparrOSDeveloperTeam with some minor modifications. GUI With Application Drawer Open TestApp Open Currently, the GUI is pretty useless. However, I'm going to be improving upon it in version 0.0.3. I'm not very great with graphics so that took me the entire week to build. Other Changes Other than that, I haven't really changed anything except make it so Setup crashes DremDOS if it's called even though DremDOS is already set up. Oh, and I made it so it makes little beepy sounds as it progresses for no reason other than it making me happy. Considering I'm going to be going to work in under an hour as of ...

That Took Way Too Long My laptop finally came in! Because of that, I can finally continue developing DremDOS. A few features and tweaks have already been implemented. For example, a better crash system has been developed. Details of the crash system can be found below, but in short, it basically allows DremDOS to be able to determine where the crash comes from and the type of crash that occurred. However, the crash handler is still only able to be called directly. I believe the only way I could change this is by modifying the crash handler in COSMOS itself. However, I don't have any experience working that close to the metal and don't know assembly. The Crash Code System The crash code system is fairly simple - an 8 character code (0-F) with certain characters allocated in sectors for specific purposes. Crash code layout: [00][00][000][0] First Sector The first sector defines where the crash came from. As of the time of writing, there are two possibilities: 00...
