The PHP displaymanager project

This project started off as a joke: You can't make a display server in PHP, right? Well, as it turns out, you can!

That is what this project is. A display server (+window manager) inside PHP.

How to run:

1. Be part of the video and input groups. (or be root)
2. Have PHP installed. (My version is PHP 7.4.3)
3. Get a copy of this code on your disk.
4. Go to the first TTY and log in. (Control+Alt+F1)
5. Navigate to the folder containing this README.
6. Run ./start.sh (You can abort by pressing the scroll wheel.)

Rules

• No using fancy plugins or load extra modules.
• No Objects either, keep it strictly good old original PHP.
• No calling other programs. (stty and starting client programs are an exception)
• No IDE's allowed. Only text editors.
• Have fun toying around.

TODO / Goals

• Automatic resolution recognision.
• Wallpaper support
• Embedded terminal program.
• Clean up and restructure the source code.
• Optimize rendering system.
• Multi-monitor support.
• Finish the X11 protocol implementation.
• Wayland server support?
• Multiple mouse/cursor support?
