Mac users (normally) can not see any file that begins with a fullstop, you may want to rename the '.boot' folder as when I tried to install it didn't copy because of this.

putting the . at the front is a deliberate choice. I do that with all my programs. if there are files you do not want users to change put a . in front of it. I suggest an installer instead (which has now been done), that way it doesn't rely on people copying. Side note: default hidden files and folders are not shown on Windows and Linux too. On Mac you can show them like this

Letting them see that folder can sometimes cause more confusion, and if they change or delete that folder can cause unexpected results in the program which may make them blame you for the issue. its better to hide files you don't want them messing with so that they don't even know they are there.

oeed, on 28 February 2013 - 06:36 PM said:

Point taken, however, maybe putting it within a folder that you can copy easily would be better.

2. make the lua prompt a window or clear the screen first.
3. make the splash screen delay a little quicker

5. When pressing a key and the [SYSTEM] menu is open … Error: gui:136: attempt to compare nil with number
6. Renaming an icon: Error: fLib:2: assertion failed
7. Changing the icon to an icon that doesn't exist allows it to work causing an error in paintutils. and causes a permanent crash that can only be fixed with reinstall (That is a problem with KreOS too, all because you both used the code/copied/followed NDFJays incomplete tutorial
8. Remove slowPrint's … they are annoying and such
9. installer has problems when the file already exists, you should remove the files first.
10. changing location boxes and such dont scroll http://puu.sh/29Ggz
11. only a 4x4 area of the icons are clickable
12. clicking the file browser icon does not open the file browser

Here is an additional one
14. the sleep calls in the splash screen allow you to terminate the os and return to the shell. I assume that since you can't do it when the os is booted and there is no 'quit' that you would want to fix this here as well.

o.O that makes no sense. 'Finder' is like 'Windows Explorer' / 'Explorer'. You have 'File Manager' … 'Finder' == 'Windows Explorer' or 'Explorer' == 'File Manager' …

NeptunasLT, as you appear to be inspired by PearOS I'm pretty you may be getting a bit confused with a window system or something. Finder probably isn't what you want to call this.

running your installer:

fs.remove does not exist its fs.delete

instead use this

if fs.exists('archily') then fs.delete("archily") end

EDIT:
Also

print("Downloading ArchilyOS 0.6v")
textutils.slowPrint("In 0.5v Added:")

0.6 … 0.5 … o.O

EDIT #2:
It also seems like every bug that I listed still before still exists.
And you're using MORE slow prints!!! :'(

Installer impression
WHY DOES YOUR BOOT SCREEN TAKE 15 SECONDS OF SLEEP! HOLY CRAP MAN I DONT WANNA WAIT 15 SECONDS EACH BOOT WTF IS WRONG WITH YA.
I mean seriously, first time I've seen someone take 15 seconds. Just wow … make it like 2 seconds or something. Thats ridiculous.

Gonna edit that out real quick and then continue review.


After install impression
Well, the installer drops me to the shell, doesn't reboot.
Update? Sure, dropped back to shell.
Well it always says there is an update.
Skipping it says No such program. and puts me to shell.

Line 89 of boot reads: "if fs.exists("/archilyos/system/0.7v") then"
Shouldn't that be "if fs.exists("/archily/system/0.7v") then" I saw this file but not archillyos.

Changing that, just realized there is no "/archily/system/gui"

Looking back in the installer, you forgot to make all the directories first, THEN placing files in them, so ill just make all those dirs i see and then reinstall.

After installed impression.
So reinstalled, all the files are there now.

Well, Went to rename the icon on my desktop, it didn't erase the name entirely.
And pressed enter got:

gui:173: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

Dropped me to shell. No crash handler? No wrapping in pcall?

So renaming is broken … nice.


What is CH-Icon? CHeck icon? CHange icon? CiH virus?
It brings up a prompt, so it must be Change icon?
Typing something in gets me

gui:190: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

Again, dropped to shell. Nice to know I'm being protected by this OS's security.


Used Re-Link, what does this do? I'm guessing its what the icon points to.
Same thing as CH-Icon and rename, got an error:

gui:207: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

And once again crashed to shell.

Alright, time to see if clicking on the desktop does anything. Nope, just opens FileManager and Internet.
Wait … what Internet icon? And I can't make any icons? Just change exising ones? (broken)
I also see npaintpro in the applications, where is this launchable from?
You also have applications in two different locations, "archily/system/programs" and "archily/system"

Well, decided to run the File Manager, i've seen this FM before, so I closed it.
Screen is just blank? I have to click on it so it comes back?

Time to test the [SYSTEM] bar, ahh good ol taco editor!
Same thing, screen goes blank when i exit program, so its not just a FM issue, its a program running issue.

The lua prompt shows that you don't reset colors or even move the terminal to the top OR clear the terminal. Which can have negative effects on CraftOS programs.

And the About program does nothing, just says "No such program."
Well … thats everything in the os.

File review!
Nothing uses kernel.co, it just gets loaded but nothing from it is referenced.
What is .background, its just the color white … and spaces … on something that was already white.
It doesn't even span the entire desktop …

Code review!
Well, after taking a first glance of the code, I can say not much effort was put into this.
None of the code is formatted, there are no returns, nothing is local.
The updater has a hard coded pastebin link, unless this is changed by your account, this updates nothing.
Infact, the updater will never run, since it checks if there is a 0.7v file. There always will be (once the installer is fixed)
It seems the desktop icons and background are fixed, as the gui puts uses hard coded values for placement.
Also, what is this background? When i commented out the code for the background, the desktop looks the same.

After review!
That wasn't too pleasing. That startup time is WAAY too long. There isn't much content at the moment.
The code has obviously not been tested, there is a random unused file.
Absolutly no security at all, doesn't even catch its crashes, thats extremly easy to write. its just one function and a pcall.

Security: 0/10
Productivity: 1/10
Graphics: 8/10
Internal working: 1/10
