I'm glad this is still alive :)

Just try to not lose time on the contest entry, though, since the deadline is approaching fast. I'll probably send a reminder soon, via e-mail, as well as posting a news about it, because people tend to forget eventually, especially if somebody always browse the site from the New Posts or Board Index pages and miss the huge Axe Parser Contest logo.

Of course.  The contest entry is going strong and looking great.
Also, me and Eeems have been working on the kernel quite a bit, and Eeems got a sound driver working.

Not really a feature request, more of a posting request: You should maybe bump your other non-progress topic when you post updates because from experience, when someone posts project updates in a read-only thread like you currently do, they tend to not bother going in another thread to reply if the author did not post in it as well, especially if it's gonna be a double-post.

Is there going to be a command console?

Yes, there will be a Terminal with linux-style commands.

Sounds cool. It should make it more versatile for calc users. Some people prefer command consoles while others prefer GUIs.

'tis true, personally I like having access to both :P
I'm actually working on a version of said console, which is just in the beginnings right now and I have no idea if it will make it to the final version, here is a screenshot of it in the works :)

Hmm... I am somewhat familiar with a DOS command line interface, but I haven't used linux before. Are they similar at all?

Kinda. They have basically the same system of commands and options (except that options are generally marked with a forward slash / in DOS, while UNIX/Linus uses a dash). Some commands are different, though (for example, dir is ls in Linux-style terminals).

That console looks awesome (hope it works out!). I like how all the characters are the same small size. Is that the font used by KnightOS?

If it is, feature request: optional large text. Some games might not work with smaller text.

And another feature request: a startup hook like OFFSCRPT would be useful. Oh, and batch files for the console, if it really get going :D

You can technically use whatever style options you like in either ;) also, dir works fine in Linux.

It is the very same font.

Font and batch files, planned.  Startup programs, also planned, but in a similar way to a computer, not via hooks.

Well that all depends on how the GUI fleshes out to be, and I'm sure that I will allow them in my branch because I'm basing my interface off of DCS.

wait, so i knew both you (Eems) and Sir were working on KnightOS, but when you say "my branch" does that mean there will be two different copies of KOS or that GUI is the part of the OS that you're working on?

branches, we will both have the same Kernel, but I will be developing a different front end, so it's like Linux, same Kernel different GUI's and way of doing things, although there should be a lot of cross compatibility as long as we both keep the same standards.
