Ok, but can your tacos run DOOM??
I kid I kid ;) That's a commendable effort and nice job! Question though: was it an effort to make TacOS using DOOM as a "standard" or was it an effort to make an OS dedicated to running DOOM run from scratch?
And I don't ask from any place but actual curiosity. I made an absolute bare-bones-cant-do-anything-but-boot type OS way back "in the day" (like almost 30 years ago, ack!!!) just for my own education/fun, but the idea of having a dedicated OS that can basically only run DOOM, yet be ported to anything would just make the "can it run DOOM" meme so much more ironic and fun!
Nice stuff! Keep it up!!
Well, it can do a little more than run Doom, that's just the latest milestone as to what was ported last. It wasn't a huge effort, maybe took a week or so to get Doom itself running including adding libc requirements for Doom, but what came before that was a fair bit more groundwork. I used DoomGeneric, which is basically a fork of Doom which is made to be very portable. I hope I answered your question, I might have misunderstood.
