MortiniOS


The goal of MortiniOS is to make CraftOS more user-friendly and give CraftOS the possibility to run multiple Programs at once.

Current features:

* Simple Object-Oriented structure with multitasking.
* Easy to install from floppy disks.
* Easy to uninstall via the built in drive-formatter.
* Easy to install 3rd party apps.
* Easy to overlook directory contents.
* Built-in Rednet support.
* Chat application.

Planned features:

* Bug fixes!
* Built-in mail application. (I just need to make server OS to handle incoming mails when cpu is shut down)
* Tabs acting as different windows.
* Pre-installed apps.
* Network manager
* Notification center.
* Configurable settings.

If you got more suggestions for features, please tell me :D/>/>

I will post a video when MortiniOS enters Beta stage. Atm its too buggy to give a good hint of the final result.

Change log:

18/2 2012:
Added chat application.
Removed unneccesary functions and variable.
Added built-in rednet support.

16/2 2012:
* Rewrote the code to add multitasking support.

* Tabs acting as different windows. (Might not be possible due to the code structure of LUA)

I'm actually playing around with something like that right now

It would be great to have some sort of Network manager. lets say that the Network manager 'listen' for incoming messages always in background and is capable of sending messages/commands.

The biggest problem with CraftOS is its unablillity to handle multiple tasks a the same time.
Also i liked to add a better graphical interface for CraftOS.
