pantheon/bios

This BIOS written in MoonScript successfully removes all CraftOS parts from it, and provides an "entrypoint" enabling you to launch CraftOS from it.

Installing

First, clone this repository, and then craftos2-rom into reference/.

$ git clone daelvn/pantheon-bios && cd pantheon-bios
$ git clone MCJack123/craftos2-rom reference/
# Or, if using Alfons
$ git clone daelvn/pantheon-bios && cd pantheon-bios
$ alfons clone

Now, to run the project you will need COSRun 0.2. Follow the installation steps and then run:

$ cosrun image unpack project.yml    # This is only needed once
$ cosrun run bios
# Or, if using Alfons
$ alfons unpack run

Developing

For developing, you will need MoonScript to compile the files. To compile and run, do:

$ moonc . && cosrun run bios
# Or, if using Alfons, it automatically recompiles on rnu
$ alfons run

On CraftOS

You can change the way CraftOS works since all parts that depend on it, even APIs, are loaded from /boot/craftos.lua (pantheon-bios/images/craftos.lua). You can modify the paths referring to /rom/ to somewhere else and have fun with it.

Changes over stock CraftOS

There are new globals: PA_BREAK and PA_PRINT which are functions (which you should not use in CraftOS), and PA_VERSION which is the pantheon/bios version.

Creating a new image

Lua files put in /boot/ (pantheon-bios/images/) will automatically be detected and availiable as a choice. Soon enough, this repository will also contain the image for Pantheon. If you are trying to run an existing OS, you certainly do not need an image entry here, since it is probably able to run normally from CraftOS.
