I came up with an idea for a project I want to make which will be a fine excuse to get the projects section in my website up and running.

The project is something I wanted to do for quite a while but now I decided to do it. It is a 16bit bootloader in x86 that will be able to run conways game of life. I would have already finished said project a couple of years ago but I was not on the level I thought I was and university also hindered my progress. But hey, better late than never.

The project will most likely include a map editor so you won't have to compile the bootloader each time you want to run it, but for now a basic conways game of life is good enough. While writing this actually I made up the bootloader file that loads the sectors from the disk and a print map function that seems to work with individual bits so I do not waste any memory. Remember, I only really have access to like 32 kilobytes, I think I can use up to 640 kilobytes but I never attempted to do that so I am afraid on how I should go about it.
