Scheduler

If I were to build my own scheduler from the bottom up, what would be the best way to go about it?

A simple while(true) loop?

Why...?

My scheduler for LoseThos just going in a cricle around the tasks. It's called "round robin" and is nice because nobody starves.

Well I was thinking about starting off with a simple priority scheduler with Run to Complete at first.

How would one go about interrupting a task that's being executed if you want something more complex than RTC?

You set-up interrupts:

You set-up the PIC timer:

You set-up context switching:

I see I have my work cut out for me.
Thanks for the inspiration.

That's actually pretty interesting.

But I hate the formatting of your code. PIG DISGUSTING

The best way to go about it would be to build it top-down.
