Hello.

Yes yes this blog still exists. Don't worry.

A lot of school exams, trips, competitions and stuff happened but I also had some time to work on the os.

Some cool things that happened:

- I finally fixed a stupid bug that made the os crash randomly on random computers.

- The OS now runs great on most 64 bit computers. (Even my laptop :D)

- MaslOS now has a working RTC in the taskbar

- The Taskbar is now improved and is always on top

- There now is a working explorer showing files and folders. You can even click into folders

- There is a Debug Ram Viewer now

- There is a bad Tetris (WIP) now

- Also the OS now boots verbosely (Even has a debug terminal :) and the log auto scrolls)

Also I improved the rendering of GUI apps from making it rerender everything every frame to only rendering the "changes". It should be working fine and has increased performance with big windows by a ton!

Stuff I'm currently working on / planning to do: (mostly the same)

- Adding a quiet boot with like a loading bar maybe.

- Improving Tetris

- Adding The Debug Ram Viewer to the Start Menu

- Maybe making a Debug Ram Image Viewer

- Documenting Debug Ram Viewer and Explorer (atleast the commands to launch em)

- Making a modified version of the explorer where i can open/select a file to load from/ save into.

- Using those to make a Notepad app

Stuff which is far away on my Todo:

Fix ACPI Boot

Fix AHCI Driver

Making GUI Apps in the OS: (Either directly or using MAAL)

 - Paint

 - A GUI Taskmanager

 - Etc.
