Cosmos
Cosmos (C# Open Source Managed Operating System) is an operating system development kit which uses dotnet, along with the custom il2cpu compiler to turn any C# code into a working bare-metal OS. Despite C# in the name, any .NET based language can be used including VB.NET, Fortran, Delphi Prism, IronPython, F# and more. Cosmos itself and the kernel routines are primarily written in C#, and thus the Cosmos name.
In a project, cosmos can be thought of as a compiler and a sort-of standard library for a project. It gives the user access to often hard to find or otherwise difficult to understand tools.
Some of the included features
These are some of the (optinal) features that can be used in cosmos:
| Low level assembly access and pointer memory control |
| A basic (and unstable at the moment) filesystem |
| Most fretures found in the .NET corlib |
| A CPU/FPU accelerated math library |
| A basic graphics interface |
| A basic network interface |
| A basic audio interface |
Note: Use embeded resources instead of the FS for now.
