thnx man. I'm looking at the source right now and I still need to figure some things out. Like

Where is your equivalent of:

Int Main (){
//Code block
}

And maybe if you'd put a bit more comments in, I would understand it too. As I said, I'm only a beginner.

And have some more bananas

[darkrose0510]

function main(argc,argv) {
//code block
}

have a look at fsck, I think it's the best example of things at present. If you look in kernel-0.4.js at the namespace class you should get some idea of how processes are run/libraries loaded too.

[Bemk]

Thnx, I'll take a look.
Hope I'll understand, will ask questions if not.

[darkrose0510]

heh, it confuses me at times

[elija]

Comments would be useful to any programmer and as it confuses you I have to include you in that list.

The best bit of coding advice I have ever been given is "Write your code as if the person who is going to maintain it is a psycho... who knows where you live"

As valid today as it was then


By the way, I think you are completely mad and I love it!

[darkrose0510]

Yeah I know my commenting is terrible, the result of doing it all myself and not figuring others would be that interested... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

You may think I'm mad, but I'm certain of it

lol, that's really funny. So what will you do when the system becomes so big you cant keep it all in focus at once? You'll need some kind of documentation; my advice is to write the comments first, then stick the code in between 'em. It'll help you frame the whole process that you're writing too.

I'll download all of your files and place comments. I hope I can figure it out. And I hope that after I'm done, you won't have moved on too far, so I can go and replace all the code(and comments).

And our trusted penguin is completely right. I've done some other projects (I'm still a beginner though), with the help of some friends and I couldn't keep track of what they were doing, since they didn't comment.

And I would also like to know where you enter GRUB. I think by following the sequence I'll be able to figure out what's happening.

Maybe something for your todo.txt : Place comments in script

You have a whole list of all the boot functions in your blog. If you place this list in the source, you've got something I can understand too. Then I can help you developing it too.

[darkrose0510]

Actually I've started on some documentation with a really basic wiki
Front Page

Not much in there right now, just a little info on how processes are run... more to come though; info on libraries and the boot process will be added in due course.

I'm mostly working on the kernel at present, and playing with the shell some, but comments in the apps and libraries would be really useful... I'll make sure I'm commenting as I go from now on.

[Bemk]

Ok, but what on what you've got??

I'd like to do that part, the only thing is, although I somewhat understand the lines, It doesn't make sense yet. It's just that I don't know what things should be doing. That's why comments are useful, simply to make your code understandable for you when you've been away from that part of the project for a while, and for others so they can figure out what's going on.

I still think what you're doing is really cool. I would like to be able to do that as well!!!

The wiki is cool by the way.
