BOOT:NT

Turning complex OS concepts into an interactive story.

An interactive, visual storytelling experience explaining the operating system boot cycle.

BOOT:NT was designed to bridge the gap between high-level web software and low-level system architecture. By visualizing every step of the boot cycle, from PMIC power rails to CPU Ring 0 transitions, we have transformed complex operating system concepts into an immersive storytelling experience.

Important

This project was built for the CodeStorm 2026 #2 Hackathon. However despite being built for a hackathon, its main objective is to help others learn something.

Note

This project was built using AI. Most of the code is AI Generated. This project was made purely for my pleasure of trying to help others learn something. It has secured 34th rank out of all (243) projects!
