I have been developing an os dedicated to improving the turtle experience. Anyone who wants to contribute can make a pull request to the
github repository. I am especially looking for someone who has actually created or can create an OS, because I have no experience in doing so. I think this project will be educational, and anyone who contributes a large amount of good code will be added as a collaborator on github.
Goals:
GPS
Item Identification –
Help is needed. Badly.Waypoints –
DoneSlot Tracking –
Partially CompleteResume/Pause programs, saving progress (can log out of game) –
Tedious, but completeAnyone who has an idea to incorporate, but does not want to code it, can request it in the
issues section.
Download is now available (although it doesn't work…)
pastebin run HKD248nPHelp is greatly apprecieted, however for the next week (Sunday, July 14th to Saturday, July 20th) I will be gone, and no updates will be made.

If this does get made and works well I will be eternally grateful. I find turtles such a pain to use, mainly because the programs are poorly made and don't support or have buggy state restoring.

I'm interested in how the persistence will work, especially with local variables. Will you inject code, or search for and replace local definitions with something else instead?

I made a pull request on the refuel.lua. Pretty short change.

not sure yet, all I have now is it finds a marker in the code, and loads everything after that. I will have to do something about variables, probably saving the environment or something.

Update: This project is temporarily on hold, as I have to study for & take finals :(/>. I will be checking pull requests daily, and will be able to assess them (assuming it's not something like "Hey look I rewrote the UI") :)/>
