Demos

MOSA includes three demos applications to demonstrate various capabilities of the MOSA project.

Tip

You can start any demo by launching its respective script in the Demos folder.

CoolWorld

It’s MOSA’s flagship demo. It can boot into either console mode (containing a shell with a few basic commands) or graphical mode (which makes use of the GPU and some other features offered by MOSA). You can boot into console mode by inserting the -bootoptions coolworldui=consolemode command line option when starting the MOSA launcher.

Console mode:

Graphical mode:

TestWorld

It’s primarily used for testing and debugging, and thus doesn’t serve any practical purpose other than finding bugs in the MOSA compiler for example.

Starter

It’s used as a simple demo template project (just like the templates on NuGet), except it’s directly bundled within the MOSA solution.
