Hi guys, iv'e made an AppleOS rewrite and I feel its better than my old one, and doesn't take that much space. To use, paint a file named apple, and do: pastebin get zLsZXV3s startup

Im workin' on the update function in the AppleBar, so if it just resets the OS, that means im still coding and do "Update" from time to time in the shell.

Here are some tips and feedback for your os.

Pros-
Nice looking GUI
Different programs that can be run from the shell

Cons-
I can't do anything from the main screen(The one with the apple), I can only open the shell and from there I have no idea what programs you have to offer. I had to look into the directory of the computer to see what was available. This is an easy fix. Make the main screen have shortcuts to your programs.
When I click the main screen anywhere, the screen goes black for atleast a second. Something to do with your while loop.
After looking at your code. you seem to be using shell.run in places where apis could be used.
Your startup file is very messy and hard to understand.
Instead of using many functions as while loops try to make everything under one while loop.(Personally it makes things easier to debug and to use)

Sorry about that black screen bug over all of the other issues, I know of that error on my OS and im using os.reboot() when you click somewhere thats not a button, so its loading quite a bit of buttons, pictures, and AppleSHELL() parts.

Seems like your a good coder also, so I might let you help me code the OS :D/> and if you try to copy my buttons stuffs and the button doesn't work, I know why, I think its because I can't have multiple "while true do"'s so im trying to put all the buttons into one section and all the other things that require it,

Thanks! -bluebird173

Doing an entire re-write :D/> ! again…

Dynamic (I think?) OS for ComputerCraft!

If you want to talk to me in-game, download the LuaLand modpack on technic and play the server thats automatically in the multiplayer list, Im usually on.

Anyways about the OS, iv'e been coding for almost awhile and wanted to make something and I did!

:D/>

How to get:
"pastebin get KnJXJcvt Update" then do "Update"

Hi guys, iv'e made a new AppleOS, and more will be added, for this is a beta program. Anyways, to run the program,
paint a new picture named apple, then run the OS. Pastebin:
zLsZXV3s

To do list:
Adding desktop icons and folders, with programs that can be held inside them, because they are just directories.


Enjoy!

One thread per OS. Feel free to update the first post and change the topic title as necessary, though.
