Bootable applications - fully interactive programs
This is a follow up to my earlier session "Bootable applications - an introduction", although it is not a required watch as we will briefly summarize the key takeaways allowing us to quickly move further.
In this session we will investigate how to build complete interactive programs such as games and UI-driven applications, still without ever booting into your regular operating system. Learn what is possible as we throw away some tens of millions lines of code we have learned to depend and rely on every day!
We will utilize UEFI-complient systems, allowing us to boot it on any compliant PC system / emulator (e.g. qemu). We'll use the system level languages Zig and C for the examples.
