Well guys, I coded some more…


I'm working on an OS called Codename Hybrid which runs on one file and relies on only 1 extra file that is always created at every startup (when it is required)

I coded a File Manager for it, as you would suspect from an OS. I tried to get it to work yet it just didn't… No errors, no nothing…

All I can say is, it's really, REALLY buggy.

When looking through the code, look for when I create the function fileMan(), the File Manager's function. That's where the bug is.

I replaced the File Manager button with a WIP thing telling you that the program is WIP. Just go to shell, run the command "lua" and execute fileMan() to see the problem.

Yeah it is VERY buggy. (Being I can't even load the OS, it errors straight away, because you forgot to make the .version file)

I would suggest:

Functions so for your init do: function init() – code end
so here you can check for the config files, if they do not exist then you can do the install process.

I would suggest adding multitasking, and even a UI framework or an API for drawing, I can help you here if you want, it has multitasking AND some nice drawing functions to make writing easier. Plus a multitude of cryptography, table control, popup management, event management etc, just PM me.

If you need I can help you out a little bit? if you want

Awesome, just send me a personal message, and yeah this is a bug with the forums, although if you toggle the editing mode, you can just do and instead for bold and stuff like that, as it is just easier.
