I know its kind of a stupid question, but does Blitz make any special OS calls? like can I make my own OS in blitz, or are Blitz programs dependent on special INT calls?
Special OS calls
BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Beginners Area/Special OS calls You cannot write an OS in blitz. It needs Windows (a well known OS) to run programs made in it.
What other BASICs are capable of making an OS, if none, then tell me what other languages can (aside from C).
You could in assembly.
You could make an OS in C specificly for the purpose of running an OS you made in Blitz. :)
If I wanted to learn C, I'd code it in C! What other high-level languages are capable of being booted? And I don't want to learn assembly either. Then again it is faster than anything...
Well for making an OS, you need to use something that can communicate directly with hardware.
It isn't an easy task, and assembly is the easiest way I've heard.
I would give that a try, and if you have it up and running, then move on to try new methods of making an OS.
