Project Name: DevOS v0.x
Project Type: Operating System
Project Source: FASM and C
This is an operating system, designed for the Intel x86 32&64-bit architectures, that I have been designing/experimenting with over the past six months. It is (when all of it's features are complete) going to become a revolutionary new approach to computing. This new OS uses a combination of experimental technologies, a monolithic kernel, and a 3D GUI, to create a completely new user experience.
Codenamed "DevOS," this new operating system will have all of the most common functionalities built-into the kernel, with an awesome, easy-to-use C API for simple programming. It even comes with a built-in proprietary scripting language, currently name "FoRKScript," that will allow even the most basic computer users to be able to write their very own applications!
More details to come...

I once looked into OS programming and always wanted to make one but never got the idea of how to make kernels or the booting process or anything

I'm starting to figure it out, but the ASM is so crytic that it's all I can do to keep up with the tutorials...

**UPDATE**
Kernel is being re-written. I didn't like the way it was turning out (and I realized that I used OS-dependent ASM instructions). Anywho, I also updated the project description above, so
read it
if you actually care what I'm rambling about.

A 3D OS? That does sound like an interesting project.
Good luck!

Thanks
The 3D GUI is just a nice, neat bonus to the package. The real sweet things are going to be the options nobody has ever used before:
1.) Have you ever used an OS without a keyboard, mouse, or speakers? How about an OS that had all of the good programming tools preinstalled and configured? All I can tell you now is that this OS is based around my studies and research on a project group that I am putting together called "The De-Cluttered Desktop Development Committee."
To Come:
~3D GUI, with
un
conventional "window" support"
~Built-in programming capabilities:
DevOS will come completely ready (out of the box) for application development with *C, *C++, *Java, **TI ASM/BASIC, FASM, and, the all new FoRKScript? language.
*All compiles using the GCC package (custom configured and ready-to-go).
**Custom TI ASM/BASIC IDE with link support (8x series support first)

interesting. will this allow dual boot if you have windows installed for example? or will this be the only os that can be on the PC when its installed?

Will allow for dual boot, hard disk installation, or LiveCD/DVD boot. YOu should also be able to run it from a Virtual Machine (VMWare, Bochs, Qemu, etc.) It'll be a fully-rounded OS.

Hand-written, by me. Also, when I'm done with it, it should run on any x86 OS (Linux, Windoze, Solaris, BSD, etc.). I'm shooting for cross-platform, anyway.
Oh yeah, almost forgot: Not just a BASIC IDE, but a BASIC + ASM + TIGCC one
