Version 2.0

Spoiler

2.0 coming along nicely. I've been "busy" playing agar.io so yeah. Also, almost lost all data for 2.0 by breaking the computer. A quick google search helped with that. I will release screenshots soon!

Nice, just don't use sleep, simply don't.

Also add a function to go back. For example, if I am in the menu, add a key that will bring me to the desktop.

S will do that, just FYI. Its still early in development, i'm working on a more-desktop environment as we speak.

That's great. However, the gui looks a little bit empty. Maybe use "real" gui or a comandline, but the option inbetween is not very good looking.

[attachment=2300:2015-05-25_13.37.15.png]I have been working on the desktop for 2.0 and this is what I have so far:

It seems a little empty. Maybe, you'll want to include characters in the drawings.

Here is the complete (for now) desktop. Also, this one will be touchscreen. (ill try my best!)

I meant letters in the drawing

Why would the letters be there? What would they be for?

Better drawings, ASCII art.

Letters and 8-bit style pixels are the only type of "image" in ComputerCraft. Right now, your desktop only uses "8-bit style pixels". He's saying if you use some characters that could improve the drawings, considering you can't portray much detail with just the pixels, but characters can be a nice touch for detail.

Some advice: Please don't give me a fake loading screen. It makes your OS look poorly done to most people.
Btw, line 39 on the startup file

elseif input ~= "password" then

can just be

else

and in any case, it would be

elseif input ~= password then

to use the variable instead

Fake loading screen is shortened to one second in 2.0, hope that isn't bad. (Just so you can see the image) And thank you for pointing out the startup error. Never changed the password from startup because I was lazy. And for some reason, I find using an elseif more satisfying than an else. just a personal preference.

I guess you'll have to see what the community thinks.

Some people prefer to drop the brackets and some people prefer to add an else when not needed. As long as the point gets across when you're reading the code and it doesn't lengthen the code that much, it really doesn't matter imo :P/>
