AuroraOS 0.5

Hello all! I'm coming in with a very simple GUI and program pack optimized for the Wireless Advanced Pocket Computer. Keep in mind that this is very early in development and is nowhere near what the final product will be like. That being said, here are the specs:

Features:

• Simple mouse-controlled GUI with icons and labels
• Semi-eyecandy startup screen
• Multishell options

Programs:

• LuaIDE by GravityScore
• Mouse File Browser by BigSHinyToys
• Dark Chat by darkrising (slightly modified for Pocket PC)
• All computercraft programs accessed by shell

Current known bugs:

• A few message display bugs in Dark Chat

Planned features/fixes:

• A notes/notepad program
• customizable icons on home screen
• Open programs in multishell for easier multitasking
• Fix display bugs in Dark Chat
• Power off screen
• customizable background
• More icons on home screen

Please comment with any bugs, suggestions, etc. Thanks for viewing!

It looks promising!

Pros:
- Cool desktop GUI
- Good install program (although the colors are not the best)
- It works! (no errors)
Cons:
- Fake loading times
- Can't run multiple programs at the same time (except shell)
- No options at all
- Everything looks hardcoded
- NDF-Jay clone

I hope it gets better. The desktop looks really nice.
And don't forget, screenshots = more views!

Suggestion: installer retry. Currently, if a connection to pasebin fails, it'll just not download that file.

Ah yes, as I've said, this is extremely early in development. Right now, it's more of a very basic concept of what it's going to be like, but of course, it'll eventually be much better. And yeah, it's currently a clone of NDF-Jay (I learn best by reverse-engineering things, so I needed an example to build on top of first), but I plan to completely re-write it with more flexible code to allow things such as options, custom icons, etc. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to add that in for next version.

This didn't work at all for me… Just errored, then when I manually edited the code to make it work, it just goes on to the home and goes to shell, the installer didn't make any of the folders either.

That's odd. What version of ComputerCraft are you using?

You two need to work on your reading comprehension. Go look at the first post again. And if you feel that a post needs moderator attention, you should be reporting it, not replying to it.
