HatchOS

HatchOS is an experimental, Cosmos based operating system designed for x86_64 computers.


Features

Here is a list of features that are currently implemented:

  • Basic GUI
  • Basic serial console
  • Basic window manager
  • Power functionality (Shutdown, Reboot, WIP ACPI)
  • Demo 3D Rasterizer (Implemented in PrismAPI; Currently broken due to funky cosmos things)
  • [WIP] AC97 Audio system and driver

Resources used

The following resources have been used during development:


Future Plans

I plan to add more functionality and features to HatchOS. Here's what I'd like to do:

  • Add a file manager
  • Add networking (HTTP, FTP, etc.)
  • Add syscalls
  • Add ELF executable support
  • Add an internal API for system functions
  • Add USB/XHCI support
  • Add floppy disk support
  • Improve hardware compatibility
  • Improve performance and code quality

Compilation

Before compiling HatchOS, make sure you've installed the following:

Once you've installed those, simply run dotnet build or build.py to compile.

Note: build.py internally calls dotnet build. It's in a python script because it allows compilation without requiring the user to type in a command every time.
