FlowOS is here!

pastebin get ZsyCFtWr

Now Open Source! Edit/Modify it as you wish! Post your own versions!

FlowOS is a new OS built for you, and the community.

It's currently a Developer Preview, as it lacks a lot of features.

The UI is not final, just a new version from Nut OS.

FlowOS is not a multitasking OS, and does not have windows. Only full screen apps. Super simple, for the best user experience.

Story

Spoiler

One day, a noob by the name of nutcase, started development of a OS. He lost the code from a hard drive error, so he started again, but now he was good at coding, so he could make it better. He released this OS called Nut OS, It wasn't all that great, and was incomplete. But he lost time to support and update it, so he scraped it. But after a while, he found more time. So he started a new OS called Firewolf OS. People didn't like the name, so he scraped it. Now, he's releasing a new OS based on Nut OS. It shall be called FlowOS. He hopes to make this OS great.

if not term.isColor then
print("FireOS requires a advanced computer.")
error()
end

You are checking to see if term.isColor is equal to false. It is true, so the program carries on. And crashes.

Well actually he is checking if term.isColor is nil, not equal to false, this is a good way to check if it's being run on pre-CC1.4 computers, but yes, if its a normal computer this line will allow it to continue, and crash.

Actually


if not (term.isColor and term.isColor()) then
  error("FireOS requires an advanced computer.", 0)
end

Would be the better way to do it.

I had to leave for karate. Gosh. :blink:/>

And I typed out my story why this is a development release, but for some reason, it just deleted everything. So I'll give you the short version.

One day, a noob by the name of nutcase, started development of a OS. He lost the code from a hard drive error, so he started again, but now he was good at coding, so he could make it better. He released this OS called Nut OS, It wasn't all that great, and was incomplete. But he lost time to support and update it, so he scraped it. But after a while, he found more time.

Thank you! Diamonds to you! (And a OS. :D/>)

Added a poll, as I said before, this UI probably isn't final. Please vote!

13.9.26.1DP released. Fixed the normal computer bug.

Spoiler

I have recently googled FireOS, and it turns out that's amazon's android based operating system. So I am renaming. Again. I am thinking about Flow and FlowOS. It sounds cool, and modern. What do you think?

Please add some more information about your OS. Is it multitasking or windowed? And add more screens!
What icon size do you use?

The icons are currently 5x5, but I think I'm going to upgrade them to 5x7, I don't really know. What do you think?

Thanks for fast reply! I think that 5x7 icons can be too large for standard resolution. Did your OS support custom resolutions?

Not currently… It's half done. I'm slowly making it work.

This looks exactly the same as a few other OS' I've looked at.
I don't know, but maybe you should list out the features that are unique to your OS specifically.

Nothing unique about my OS right now, well, not that I know of. :P/>

Honestly I think the FireW icon would look better if it were made similar to how the main logo was made (3D kinda / Shadows)
And as a personal preference that worm, I like colors.lime better xD (you can ignore my preference though, it's just fine)

Like this?

I don't think i'm going to do that, the icons are supposed to be 5x5. The icon here is 5x6 with the shadow. But if you want to edit the icon, click paint, then enter this.

.sys/img/icon1 - icon4

If I do edit it, will the auto-updater (if there is one) come by and sweep out my changes?

Yes there is a auto updater, but it's disabled, I haven't got around to it. It shouldn't change it, unless I change the icons. Remember to back up you stuff, kids!

:)/> I haven't seen that done yet.

I might… it would be easier to just copy the file, then copy it back when the update is done.

I will be gone this weekend, camping. But I will be back on Monday! I will put out 13.9.30DP!

I do like the design of it, but you really need to work on functionality!

Also black font isn't good over blue background ^^ Just saying because the [close] button etc is hard to read.

Not large monitors but at least large resolutions. Some people set computercraft computer interface resolution larger than default 51x19. For example I like to use 60x30. But only a few OSes support such custom resolutions. For example my OS does =)

I don't really see why I need to support custom resolutions, it seems that barely anyone changes it.

I have tried running it on a monitor, but it doesn't like touch events. All you can do is open and close the menu. Weird.

This is because monitor_touch doesn't have the first argument, the left or right click one.

It is not very complicated to make custom resolution support. And I think that this feature is required often enought to be implemented.
And for monitors: to use OS on them you should create some application like the virtual keyboard and find some solution for moving windows (because dragging event doesn't work), left clicking and other stuff. Mybe I will implement this things in my OS some day.

Because you wonder why people want the Tile UI: it's nice to use in ComputerCraft, because it's not a huge mess and you have a bigger place to write things on the tiles :P/>

Also would be cool if you added some kind of Api people can implement to their programs for example a notification Api.

Ingame time with the os.time() also maybe the day (in game), i've tried to do this but I need to get it to refresh every second and if I do that it refreshes the whole of my os screen meaning every time I press a button (in the os) it refreshes and gone; hope you might be able to figure it out though.

Just have your OS looking for the 'timer' event and the other events that you're using and then use the following code:


timeout = os.startTimer(0.8)
event, p1 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "timer" and p1 == timeout then
  displayTime()
end

0.8 is one Minecraft second.

That won't work well with the low resolution… anyways I've already got a Tile UI in development.

I don't really see why I need to support custom resolutions, it seems that barely anyone changes it.

Use term.getSize(), returns the width and the height. Make a minimum size to even properly work, but it would be compatible with bigger resolutions. You base off your positions on the current width and height. Its a whole other approach of programming, but I believe its better.

Really what you are saying here:


Everybody here is using 15 inch monitors, so why would I make it compatible with 19 inch monitors?

Imagine, what if Microsoft said that? Then I wont be able to run windows, which means that I cannot run my preferred OS.

^That, and we have advanced turtles which would be able to run your OS, and also have a different screen resolution than computers.

^That, and there are programs that can redirect your OS to a buffer and "trick" your program into thinking it's running under another resolution, the size of said buffer.

User preference is a big factor, but not the only one.

Nope, sorry. No turtle support here. Not unless you make the resolution bigger.

As in, people who might want to use your program on turtles (and normal computers, but making support for those isn't very easy, so I'll let that slide).

As many people have stated before, it's a common standard to use term.getSize to make sure your program works smoothly with any resolution the user might throw at it.

Just make your tile layout adaptable. I had an "OS" a long time ago with a tile layout that adjusted the number of rows and columns based on the screen size, so it's not as impossible as you're making it out to be (though it was pretty difficult).

But whatever, if less users makes you happy, then by all means.

Nice OS, making my own actually, I could learn a thing or two from this.

Overall, pretty sweet except for these lists of flaws… (I hate to be "that" guy, but, I just had to. No offence intended.)

-Shell just doesn't feel like it's part of the OS. You should give it a UI.
-Should come with file browser. Again, I just don't like the shell with no UI.
-Add more shtuff! :D/>

Also, it would be nice if this was open source, to help out people like me! :D/>

Nice job though. Looking forward to updates. :)/>

This is dead, but what the heck.

It doesn't need a API, everything is included when you install. Are you getting any errors? I believe that the updater is still working…

EDIT: Tested it, it still works.
