Proposal for Study

Proposal for Study

For Multimedia 11

For this project, I will be studying the process of making an Operating System. I will be focusing on kernel development, and integration with a scripting language. Furthermore I will be studying how core computer components (CPU, RAM, GPU, Disk) all function with a kernel, and writing code in C and (unfortunately) assembly that will utilise these components.

See Research for resources.

I am going to be creating LuaOS, an operating system that focuses around the Lua scripting language. It will feature a microkernel design written in C, in which most of the components will be written in Lua, in an easy to install and modular system.

I will be learning along the way for this project, and in the end the minimum viable product would be having lua scripts successfully running in the "shell".
