byte-space

“byte-space” is a terminal-based internet simulator set in the early internet era.

Right now my main focus is BS-EXTFS, my own inode-based hand-rolled filesystem for byte-space. The project is still heavily a work-in-progress. After BS-EXTFS the next phases are networking, and then my own scripting language.

Features will include (hopefully if I get to it):

• browsing text-based websites
• seeing packets travel between machines in real-time
• a custom hand-rolled filesystem with inodes, permissions, and directories (BS-EXTFS)
• a custom scripting language for writing programs inside the simulation
• a virtual kernel that implements real Unix-like syscalls (open, read, socket) and a full TCP/IP stack; programs interact with it exactly like they would a real OS

It is a pretty cool project and you should definitely star it on Github.
