A video about the latest update:


What is Blah OS?
Blah OS is a file browser that comes with an screen API, the OS is easy to use and the API can be used to make complicated software that actually live renders.
Blah OS is made to be launched from both a disk and from a computer wich will make it easy to start with if you have never launched it before.
Dude are you still reading this because I never read this I just wanted it to make it look professional. Go download it!

Who made it?
  • Kyconny: the base of the engine
  • Mega1mpact (Me): the rest
User interface
Spoiler
The user interface was made to look intuitive and easy to use. It is smooth and awesome.

Controls
  • CTRL = Switch between the menu strip and the file browser
  • Arrow keys = Navigate the application
  • Return/Enter = Select, folders/files are opened by default
  • F5 = Refresh everything

That it's virtually identical (in visuals, dunno about the code) with another app posted earlier.

The style is almost the same as Norton Commander. It is a verry commonly used style for text based file browsers.
The code was built from the ground up so no stealing was involved. Just look at the program/code yourself.

That's true. Wiki calls this kind an orthodox file manager. I've used Norton Commander as a child and now I'm using Midnight Commander at work sometimes, which is like the open source Norton Commander. That's where I've borrowed the name too :D/>/>

Nobody thought you would be stealing code as far as i can see it. Anyway, everyone is free to use my source code as much as they want, as long as it doesn't violate the MIT license :D/>/>

Can't you edit the resolution for the Turtle OS??
Like 2 options, edit res. or make 2 separate downloads?

It scales the screen for the turtle but it isn't optimal

if your trying to just change s to S windows won't do that, instead just add a random letter in the name, change the s to capital, save it, then remove that random letter from the name
