FroddeOS


Frodde OS is a user friendly OS which brings you the basic features of an OS, right now the OS is in an early development stage


and may have undiscovered bugs, if you discover a bug please make a comment about them or if you need any help just comment and I will help you out ASAP, or if any suggestions on the OS please feel free to share them with me in the comment section.


This is my first Computercraft OS and I will try to update it and work on it as much as I can, for now enjoy the newest version of the OS I have

and keep up with the updates. Also thank you to NDFJay who was a great guide to get me started on this project I know that

at the moment the code looks much like his tutorial but I will make a total remake of the OS once I have learned more about coding on CraftOS, Thank you!

Here's a list of bugs I found in this:
  • The clock always stays the same.
  • Once in the start menu, you can't exit out of it and you can't do anything at all anymore.
  • While in the start menu, causing any kind of event (pressing a key, …) will crash the program.
  • Dynet crashes if there is no modem connected. (Not sure if related to your OS)
  • Right Click -> File Browser doesn't do anything, although your post clearly states that you have a file browser in your OS.
  • The OS should be downloaded with pastebin get 3tQs5LkP startup. Otherwise, you have to run "gui" every time you restart the OS. The "run" method makes it so that the OS can't be restarted at all until re-downloaded.
Anyway, I don't want to be mean, but this is pretty much just a NDFJay copy with your own graphics and programs.

EDIT: Although I do have to give you credit for not putting in a fake loading screen.

This is my first OS also yes I did learn how to make it from his video I will list the bugs also I will give him credit for the help of making this OS. Though since I am still learning I needed some kind of guide to help me make this when I am ready I will almost re make the OS with my own code and not something from a tutorial.

The "run" method makes it so that the OS can't be restarted at all until re-downloaded.
Really? For me it stays on the Computer and does so when you reboot the system it reboots FroddeOS only, anyways thank you for that information I will change that.

If you want to make a clock, just use the parallel API.

You can use textutils.formatTime(os.time()) to get the time.

Other then that, good luck making this!
