Conway's Game of Life Operating System

An operating system that's just Conway's Game of Life.

Building

See the makefile. Try make clean && make all && make run.

Dependencies

Look at the Dockerfile for some recommended packages.

# pacman -S base-devel g++ grub libisoburn mtools qemu-full

Usage

Controls are as follows:

[space]        - start/stop simulation
[arrows]       - move cursor
X              - kill cell at cursor
C              - spawn cell at cursor

TODO

• splash screen with controls ([enter] to continue)
• use PIT instead of spamming io_wait (which can damage hardware)
• vesa graphics
• better keyboard driver (IRQ)
• scrollable map (and/or zoom if vesa graphics added)
