Highlights

Printing

You can now output text as a string to the console instead of having to output one char at a time,
This is done by introducing the print_string() function which iterates through all chars of the specified string and prints them out. using the print_char() function.

Example (new)

print_string("Hello World!");

Example (old)

// Assign each ASCII character to video buffer
vga_buffer[0] = vga_entry('H', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[1] = vga_entry('e', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[2] = vga_entry('l', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[3] = vga_entry('l', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[4] = vga_entry('o', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[5] = vga_entry(' ', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[6] = vga_entry('W', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[7] = vga_entry('o', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[8] = vga_entry('r', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[9] = vga_entry('l', WHITE, BLACK);
vga_buffer[10] = vga_entry('d', WHITE, BLACK);

New Lines

You can now print a new line between printing strings using the print_new_line() function.
This allows you to have new lines between text without having to print the new line char specifically.

Example

print_string("Hello World!");
print_new_line();
print_string("Goodbye World!");

Colors

You can now set the color of a string by assigning either g_fore_color or g_back_color to any of
the colors specified inside of include/kernel.h.
You can also reset the colors to black & white by using the default_colors() function.

Example

g_fore_color = BRIGHT_GREEN; // Setting foreground text of 'Hello World!' to bright green
print_string("Hello World!");
print_new_line();
default_colors(); // Reseting to default colors
print_string("Goodbye World!");
