smiggerOS - My first OS!

I'm sorry but this is no longer public

Congratulations that you've created your first OS, and because you want some honest feedback I'll be completly honest with you.
Right now I wouldn't consider this an OS, it feels like it's just a menu. And about the welcome message, you should have it welcome the user that logged in, not the name of the computer.

II'll try to do it but the users are saved in a folder with each users details on.

Well for a first OS, it is pretty good. Just some bugs/questions/etc…

• Why the advanced computer requirement, the external programs need them but not the operating system itself?
• You can delete yourself, which means you can't log in again. :P/>
• UShare and UChat don't do anything (I don't have a modem so this might be why)
• Terminating (Ctrl+T) ink then clicking quit kinda destroys the computer. This might be an Ink bug.
• Running calculator then terminating keeps the cursor blinking
• Calculator can't cope with (exponentials or modulus)
• Every file ends with shell.run("main")? Something is broken here.

However, this is pretty good for a first try. Please though, can you add the shell to the program list?

Edit Just saw you are using someone's SHA API. Unless you wrote it yourself, you might want to give credit to them. You might also want to not have the same API in two files. Massive code duplication.

1. You need an advanced PC for the LuaIDE and Ink
2. Lol didn't realise that
3. Yeah u need a modem
4. Never ran into it
5. Haven't ran into it either
6. Still haven't ran into that either
7. Thats the main file for the OS/Menu as TheOddByte said it was a menu

I'll add give GravityScore credit for that now.

Can I get an admin to move this somewhere else under please because I don't want it under the OS tab. Rather under the Utilities tab or something.

First off, use the report button next to the quote buttons on your post. Secondly, I doubt this will be moved. It's an OS, you said so your self, so this is where it belongs.

Asking permission to use my installer would've been a good idea. I haven't actually released it for public use really.

But this seems reasonable for a first OS. As others have mentioned, requiring an advanced computer even though it really only needs a standard computer seems a bit pointless. Maybe add some colour to it?

I'm gonna add some colour to it tonight.

This post is going down. It was supposed to be public but I know decide for my OS to be private.
