Final grade was based on effort, and my project was to write an OS from scratch, but that takes years. Got as far as booting it, and having a file system. Didnt have anything else though since I only had three months and was self taught. Was very fun though.

Major props on taking on that kind of project. I, personally, like The Art of x86 Assembly.

I think it was HLA though maybe I'm wrong @Six will clarify.

No. That would of made it easier though, probably. I don't think I've used HLA before.

Definitely would have.

I don't like HLA but I understand why it's good/useful.
