Electro OS 2012 Edition

Hello!

ElectroSystems™ here!

So, a few days ago I decided I needed to make something more advanced than my usual programs like calculators or screen size checkers, and thought: "Hey! I'll make a OS" So here we are now.

Keep in mind that I am still developing this OS and will try to update fairly regularly (Hopefully 1-2 updates a day?)

Please report any bugs in the comments!

To install type:

pastebin get scDrKxx4 startup

Then after them files have downloaded succesfully, restart your computer!

Note: To download these you need the http API anabled. :3


I am going to let you explore the OS yourselves, but heres a hint: The brown dot and blue dots in the corners do things if you click them. :P/>/>/>/>/>

Enjoy!!! :D/>/>/>/>/>

Here's some screenies :lol:/>/>/>/>

Desktop:



Start menu:



Run a entered program!:

Yeah, I would have done that but the only way I can think of is putting a ton of elseifs, but thats kind of inefficient. Do you have a better way of detecting if the icons are clicked?

You check that the mouse is clicked WITHIN an area, not on one cell. For example, if the box is in coordinates (3,3) (3,4) (4,3) (4,4) you do:

If mousex <= 4 and mousex >=3 and mousey <= 4 and mousey >= 3 then

--Do stuff

End

Should work but I haven't tested as I am on tablet

Man, i love this OS.
I can't belive it took me so ling to figure it out…..

Okay, i'll go cook something up!

About detecting mouse click, im not sure how i managed it that day but by saving 2 coords in a single string line (cords X1,Y1,X2,Y2 seperated by #) in a table and then a function takes mouse click Y and X and looks to see if the coords are within the box drawn by the coords,

the thing is i forgot how i made it know what coords are within that box, i think something like looking at the box Cord X1+1 and Y1+1 to set the inner corner of the box(thats if the box has borders that should not be included)

Sorry i cant dig up the code since that world was deleted :(/>/>

–looking around to see if i cant find it maybe–

New version! Now the paint desktop icon is 2x2 and the start menu button that opens it is 2x2!

pastebin get 3nDb6Pe4 startup

Another version, just updates something i'll put it in a spoiler so it wont spoil the feature for the OS. :)/>

Thanks! :)/> It means alot!

I have FINALLY decided to start to work on this again, and have come up with an installer that installs all the files you need automatically!
Code:

pastebin get LUABT7MS startup

Enjoy!

Please no fake loading screen >.<

btw for that "credits" screen you could use os.pullEvent(), so it will continue when the users wants to, and not after like felt 0.2 seconds :P/>

Ill get rid of it.

And thanks

New update! Removes loading time and fixes some things.

pastebin get scDrKxx4 startup

Hey cool :D/>

Btw you could check before running a file with the brown button, if it even exists with

if not fs.exists(run) then
  --blah
else
  shell.run(run)
end
