I am currently making a OS called Black OS. I just started it the other day and today I have been working on it for almost all of my free time so here you go.
The mission: To make EVERY program again and make it better.
I think its really good for only 2 days into development. please try it out :(/>/>
Spoiler
I would appreciate your guys' support :(/>/>
Special thanks to
Kingdaro for helping me with the installation script. :)/>/>
HTTP MUST BE ON

Seems legit. Gonna try this out tomorrow, when I have free time. Looks very neat and cute (yes, cute). I like how your goal is really to just improve on CraftOS, and not make a 100% new OS. I'll definitely DL it tomorrow and stuffs. See how it works, etc. Main Menu looks great, and its nice how there's just this bar across the top that says "Black OS 0.2" Reminds you of what you're using.
If you are looking for some kind of computer lock program, I can let you use Alpine Bliss PassLock v0.1, if ya want.

xD spoiler on the images plz?
Well anyways this seems to be your first Operating System and I commemorate you for trying your best. :(/>/>
I have a small request for you as well…
I unfortunately have basically 0 connection to Pastebin.com and I hope you're able to do this but… can you have a Mirror for your OS? This means that you'll have to change any installers/auto-updaters to work with the mirror (won't take that long, I promise) and can you place it in a Dropbox or Github or other site?
Thanks :3
first of all i was thinking of adding spoilers but i didn't know how to
and second of all i don't know how to port it to other websites but i will research and figuring out how to do that!

I'm so sorry I don't know HTTP in lua at all. Could you maybe convert this function to work with dropbox or github? thanks
function put(AeO, location)
http.request('http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i='..AeO)
while true do
local ev, url, source = os.pullEvent()
if ev == 'http_success' then
local file = fs.open(location, 'w')
file.write(source.readAll())
file.close()
source.close()
print('Downloaded '..location)
break
elseif ev == 'http_failure' then
print('Failure to download '..location)
break
end
end

function put(AeO, location)
http.request('https://github.com/' .. UserName .. '/' .. AeO ..'.git') -- I think you need to have an account to use GitHub, so make UserName your username and AeO the filename without the .git part. I'm sure this will work? Haven't tested though.
while true do
local ev, url, source = os.pullEvent()
if ev == 'http_success' then
local file = fs.open(location, 'w')
file.write(source.readAll())
file.close()
source.close()
print('Downloaded '..location)
break
elseif ev == 'http_failure' then
print('Failure to download '..location)

That won't work because you're just trying to access the .git itself. You need to access the raw code.
now, How the @#$% do i use github? XD

I had a feeling it wouldn't work, but it was worth a try I guess :(/>/>

hey, im working on advanced computer version and should i make the Black OS logo black? I tested it and it looks ugly
Instead of having that line there ("-") try this!
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.white) scrWid, scrHei = term.getSize() write(string.rep(" ",scrWid)) term.setBackgroundColor(color.black)
Have you tried it out? how do you like it?
