Ever struggled to understand how OS scheduling and memory management work? 

You're not alone. Many students and developers find these concepts tricky because they're often taught with dry textbook explanations and static diagrams.
We wanted to change that. Our goal was to create a tool that's not only functional but also intuitive, interactive, and fun to use - making learning OS algorithms a more engaging experience.
What started as a simple university project quickly spiraled into something much bigger. As we kept refining it, adding features, and improving the design, it turned into a fully-fledged visualization tool for OS scheduling and memory management.

After months of hard work and countless iterations, we think we finally nailed it! 🎉

🚀 Key Features:

  • Real-time visualization of scheduling and memory management algorithms
  • Interactive controls to step through processes
  • Multiple algorithms supported (FCFS, RR, Best Fit, Worst Fit, etc.)
  • Minimalist and elegant UI for distraction-free learning
  • Fully Responsive to make sure its accessible by everyone on every device

🤝 We're excited to share our project and believe that, together, we can make it even better - adding richer, more interactive, and fun features along the way.

🛠️ We'd love your feedback! Whether it's feature ideas, bug reports, or contributions, check out the GitHub repo and help us improve the tool.
