CraftOS-EFI: ComputerCraft Operating System for UEFI

[JackMacWindows]

DISCLAIMER: v0.1 does not support running on real hardware. I am actively working to fix this bug, but it may be a while until I can figure this out.

Introducing CraftOS-EFI, the worst ComputerCraft emulator that is its own operating system (or something). It runs under a native UEFI environment, so you can pretty much just boot straight into CraftOS without loading any other operating system.

Note that this is different from my main emulation project, CraftOS-PC, which is a fork from the same parent code base but has way more features than this.

Here's a screenshot:


Version v0.1:

• Does not include HTTP support
• Does not support Ctrl/Alt keys (don't open edit.lua!)
• May not support background colors?
• Works in QEMU using OVMF EFI image
• Is very slow (at least in a VM)
• Must be run from the EFI shell (included in compiled image)

You can download the latest version from https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos-efi/releases/latest. Each release includes the raw EFI image that you can put on your EFI System Partition, as well as an image file that you can boot a VM from or flash to a USB drive. You can run the image in the QEMU emulator using an OVMF image, see the Ubuntu Wiki page for more info.

Well that's unexpected.. I hope we'll be able to run it from real hardware soon!

Great job! Can you publish any build instructions?
