C COS - My *bootable* OS

[mansonandsatanrock]

how did you change the background color without having it flash on and off?

[farlepet]

How were you able to use that top line? In my OS, it cant be written to...

[gruntlover2]

LOL 7 months ago I posted a comment on how to use the COnsole.ReadLine functions and now my os is 1000x better

[Residentevilfan500]

@ipadman22 u can help me please i need the help ill subscribe to you if you want me to

[hackiosa]

Are you still working on this? I can help youi to create a GUI!

[AdamantSystems]

@skaterboy991 Virtualbox? I thought by Virtual PC you were using VMWare or Microsoft Virtual PC.

[matthewdriftking]

Woaah, Nice man, Just keep the good work up.

Happy pogramming.

[codecvr12]

full code please. i just want to look at this. i will not fully copy this.

[TechGuyTuts]

use Virtual PC it is much better and runs faster

[GhostXoP]

cosmos kernel, cant build your own?

[skaterboy991]

@GhostXoP Don't have the time to mess with that low level programming.

[GhostXoP]

@skaterboy991 so your just, adding on to an operating system?

[GhostXoP]

@skaterboy991 Then you really didnt do much of anything except make a little console terminal program that just takes in input

[Goalatio]

@skaterboy991 It's not hard. Takes a while, but it's worth it.

[computercube123]

@skaterboy991 just use the OS dev wiki

[dddddddd160]

@GhostXoP Can't just shut up with your "can't you make your own kernel?"? People have fun making an OS and don't have the time or knowledge to make an own kernel.

By the way, you can also make a really good OS in cosmos.

[GhostXoP]

@dddddddd160 whatever, get back to your visual basic, 8 year old

[jazzmaster700]

@GhostXoP everyone can build one, I'm 10, and I built a kernel, but not everyone has the time, I just have a lot of extra time

[GhostXoP]

@jazzmaster700 Thats nice. 

[jazzmaster700]

@GhostXoP thank you!

@ichiman14

um... i think it would be:

wtf = console.readline();

if (wtf.Startswith("echo"))

chucknorris = wtf.substring(4, 80);

console.writeline(chucknorris)­;

[9SanRoB7]

@Hack3rINC

That doesn´t work.

[Hack3rINC]

@9SanRoB7 did i miss something? or did i spell something wrong? lol

[9SanRoB7]

@Hack3rINC

I get error that says like:

The name 'chucknorris' does not exist in the current context

[Hack3rINC]

@9SanRoB7 try instead of chucknorris = wtf.substring(4, 80)

to use string chucknorris = wtf.substring(4, 80)

is that better?

[9SanRoB7]

@Hack3rINC

Still does not work.

LOL.

[Hack3rINC]

@9SanRoB7 lmao.

ok i put it in and tweacked it and this works for me:

string wtf = Console.ReadLine(); if (wtf.StartsWith("echo")){strin­g chucknorris = wtf.Substring(4, 80);Console.WriteLine(chucknor­ris); }

[Hack3rINC]

@9SanRoB7 i had to remove the enters and shorten it to fit it in

[Hack3rINC]

@9SanRoB7 i had to remove the enters and shorten it to fit it in

[Hack3rINC]

awesome lol

[hackiosa]

how u got your c# os bootable? pleas tell me!

[WOWNumansi]

@hackiosa Lol comile it and any iso is bootable :)

[hackiosa]

@WOWNumansi lol ^^ thanks i didn't knew that you can boot it in a virtual machine , too! thanks in any way! PS: Should this work with vb.net 2010, too?(i think)

[WOWNumansi]

@hackiosa Ye probs :)

[requimrar]

Not bad, but this SUX. Seriously. Like duh... Watch my OS to see what you need to aim for :)

[Hack3rINC]

@requimrar at least he tried xD

[autonomous2010]

I prefer to use the nasm assembler and pure assembly code.

But this greatly simplifies things.

I will give cosmos a look here in a little bit.

[autonomous2010]

@autonomous2010 blasted memory. Turns out I have already used cosmos in the past. Just ignore the comment above.

But I kinda prefer using assembly instead of cosmos.

[vancar6]

put a tut up I RLY WANNA REINVENT MY OLD DOS MACHINE!!!!

PPPPLLLLLEEEAASSE;

Awsome os btw

[LanHikari90]

@ITGuru0111 Because this is a hard job. :-) It would still take a few years, probably... Only for the kernel. ^^

[MatielMigite]

How did you get it to take commands. Was it a group of if...else if...else........ or what? I'd like to know because i have been working towards an OS and would like to know if there is a better way... Help would be appreciated.

[LanHikari90]

Cosmos. -_- Boring! Learn assembler and C and maybe C++. Write your own bootloader and kernel and all things you need and THEN you may call it your own operating system.

[necrolightgregz]

you made your os with cosmos in visual c#????

[c64boy]

Can you e-mail the source code for the same reson as bobby1829387

thinks

[bobby1829387]

May I please have the source code, just to learn from? I swear I will not steel the OS, I just don't know anything about Cosmos but am still trying! lol.

[CumulusComputers]

What does the COS stand for? I have been making a COS meaning "Cumulus Operating System.

[skaterboy991]

Cosmos Operating System, made with cosmos, the C is for CrAzY

[RD199912345]

@CumulusComputers does it mean Come On! S***

[snake88usa]

hi i was wanting to know if you and me could make something called Storm os. I have been working on it but have not got very far. I ran into some problems with a boot loader but your os is awesome. Maybe your could help out. I know how to make the programs like a very cool Paint, text, image viewer, and internet. Also i know how to make software icons on a desktop and a desktop background. I could help out on yours too. Just let me know.

[zainuintel]

5/5 but when you type somthing and then somthing comes up please tell me because im new to c#

[skaterboy991]

you mean something like this right?

console.write("Command: ");

string str = console.readline();

console.writeline(str);

[gruntlover2]

@skaterboy991

hey please help im trying to make a if then statement like this string cmd = Console.ReadLine(); if (cmd = "info") { \\ Bla bla bla }

i get a error that says

Error1Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'C:\Users\sloan\Documents­\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\CosmosBoot1j bh\CosmosBoot1j bh\Program.cs3217CosmosBoot1j bh

[requimrar]

@gruntlover2 It has to be like this:

if (cmd=="info")

{\\blablabla}

note the double equals

[gruntlover2]

@gruntlover2 Well i already know but thanks any ways

[sciman001]

@zainuintel thats not even a logical question!

[autonomous2010]

does the cosmos have any current support for the x window or something similar? If not I MIGHT be able to port it to cosmos.

[skaterboy991]

It doesnt actually, but that would be incredibly nice.

[carlosalbuquerque89]

Great One skaterboy... 5 stars... really liked it

[skaterboy991]

OK anyone that has encountered a problem with MrApplication saying i copied. We BOTH made an OS with C#, we BOTH used the Cosmos operating system, which is an open source C# operating system. I didnt copy, I saw his vid and was curious so I googled up ways to make an OS with C# and there ya go

[bobby1829387]

Oh and also, how do i make a simple working shutdown command, because the default cosmos one don't work.

[thebiman]

what code do you have to learn for this?

[Robobbly]

Thanks Very Much

[Robobbly]

nice how do you make the text that you type come up on the same line as the text you have writen what command is it? thanks!

[skaterboy991]

Thats actually pretty easy, just do

Console.Write("Enter command: ");

string command = Console.ReadLine();

[bobby1829387]

Hey, how does it gain keyboard support? i can't figure it out :P

[skaterboy991]

console.read/console.readline

string str = console.readline; is what i use
