Old Snorrful OS is discontinued; meaning I am not releasing it - I have decided to make another OS and completely rebuild it.

!!!Old Snorrful OS is open-source, which means you can take it and improve it only. You cannot take it, edit it, then release it as your own OS.!!!

News:
Old Snorrful OS uses GitHub for the installation!


This OS is discontinued. I have released LinearOS to success this old code (Much better)

Features

Spoiler

Mouse click GUI
SafeBoot
SNELL Terminal (Shell)
Mouse File Browser
Programs Manager
I might be missing some ...

These features are for v3 REBUILT

Screenshots

Spoiler

The Desktop


File Manager (Mouse File Browser)


Terminal (Snell Terminal - Exclusive to OSROS Rebuilt)


Settings Menu


SafeBoot Screen (Screen One)

Installation

Spoiler

Pastebin ID: removedForUpdates

To install directly, enter this on a advanced computer:

pastebin get [b]removedForUpdates[/b] easyDownloader

EasyDownloader downloads the actual installation file from GitHub since I can easily make changes to the version quick and clean via my repository.
If you disprove of this please tell me.

Please tell me if you find ANY bugs regarding the installer and easyDownloader!
I need to know them.

Note:
The rebuilt version of OSROS is FINALLY HERE!!!
I have been working on it for about 2 weeks now.

Version History

Spoiler

v3 Rebuilt:

Spoiler

• Complete overhaul!
  
• New Terminal!
  
• Configuration file
  
• SafeBoot
  
• Cleaner Code
  
• Rebuilt from scratch.

2.2:

Spoiler

• Fixed the random flashes on desktop
  
• Fixed updater (Use it on v2.12 to update to this version!)
  
• Removed the random orange bar in the options with a few improved graphics
  
• Added a few functions
  
• Fixed the options menu bug where if you spam clicked it would give you a nasty JAVA error

2.12:

Spoiler

• Added a program manager
  
• Login screen error
  
• Updater function (Not developed, computer restarts on update)
  
• A couple bug fixes
  
• New bootstrapper (Pushing any key during boot aborts boot and returns to SHELL)

1.92 BETA:

Spoiler

• Old Snorrful Legacy OS ported to Advanced Computers
  
• Added clickable GUIs
  

What is SafeBoot?

Spoiler

Safe boot is sorta like what Windows has, if you turn it off physically and turn it on it asks to boot in safe mode,
Safe Boot works the same way. When you start your computer, a file; session.ossf is created, and upon reboot or shutdown is deleted.
If this file exists on boot, it will display a screen which will boot SHELL after five seconds unless you push any key. Pushing any key will boot OSROS.
SafeBoot also verifies if you have all your system files. If you don't then it will prompt to reinstall the OS. (NOT RELEASED)

What if I don't want to boot OSROS upon startup?

Spoiler

You can easily get passed this! Just head to settings and look around in Boot Behaviour.

What if I don't want to use SafeBoot upon startup?

Spoiler

I like SafeBoot, I wouldn't recommend disabling it because you may install a file that corrupts stuff on the computer, and it verifies your system files.
To disable it, SETTINGS > SAFEBOOT > DISABLE.

To-Do List:

Spoiler

• Fix the program manager install bug.
  
• Add more features.
  
• Add the Command Center.
  
• Add an update function.

Please address bugs found in a reply.

If you have any suggestions, please tell me them.

from the description and snapshots it looks meh .-.
ive made more elaborate and functional systems in batch
only 4-6 hours of programming?
no colors?
"Please don't take it and claim it as your own work." not to be mean, but why would anyone want to?

oh and

great

The link should be fixed now.
1st. How long would it take?
2nd. Read the description, I said I prefer old computers.
3rd. I guess I came from a world where editing and claiming others work often occurs.

i just downloaded it, way too many fake loading screens

Edited by AfterLifeLochie, 25 September 2013 - 04:32 AM.
Removed board widening - read the global rules -ALL

Fake? Not following.
Too many? I count one.
Tell me what you mean fake.
Should it do something with the loading bar? If so, what?

[theoriginalbit]

Suggestions:

• Remove 99% of the sleeps [OS]
  
• Remove 100% of the sleeps [Installer]
  
• Add in some termination prevention, currently every part of your system allows for the OS to be stopped and the user to return to the shell [installer & OS]
  
• Getting undesired input should not shutdown the computer, it should just ask for input again [installer]
  
• Lots of programs, and high complexity, consider using 1 program and lots of functions [OS]
  
• Remove the 21.2 second loading (loading bars should show progress of loading, if loading actually took 21 seconds, fair enough, but this is a waste of users time) [startup]
  
• If you want it run off a floppy disk, validate that it is being run off one [startup]
  
• Don't lie to a user, if you say "saving your settings" actually have settings to save [mainmenu & options]
  
• Remove recursive program running, use loops [mainmenu, preal]
  
• Was this deliberate?

  Quote

  print("If you have found any bugs/spelling errors or")
  		print("  punctuation erros please tell me on the thread")

• Todo List program is deceptive, makes user think they can make a todo, when its the remaining features to code in the OS
  
• The help program is pointless, if you're not going to help someone, remove it, clearly they opened the help program for a reason
  
• Localize your variables! [everywhere!]
  
• Use lookup tables for accounts, much more efficient (you can find lots of info about login systems in AaP, I know I've personally answered about 1/2 a dozen of them) [login]
  

• shell.run("pastebin get yfcXZJti accounts")

  Quote

  This paste has been removed
  [installer]
  

• Quote

  shell.run("install")

  what if they didn't call the program install, this is why loops are important! [installer]

[mrdawgza]

Great list of suggestions. Busy on them now, hopefully some of them will be in the rb2.7 BETA version.
About the termination prevention, I'm leaving it off during the beta stage.

I have updated the OS, installer with most of the suggestions provided by theoriginalbit.
The installation takes place a lot more quicker and, I removed the 21 second loading bar />
Its now about 5-6 seconds. (I think, I guessed)

html.get? You mean the HTTP API?

Is it just a new menu? Do you use encryption or hashing for stored passwords?

There are multiple new menus, and I am working on the password encryption and hashing. (If you want help me PM me)

Password encryption is really important thing! Only a few OSes here has such feature! Which encryption algorithm do you use?

sha256 by GravityScore - Topic

Anyone got any suggestions? I'm currently working on a notepad or word processor, so if you want to help me go ahead

SHA256 is not an encryption, it is hashing, these are very different things!

Hashing is designed to turn a string, irrelevant of its size, into a fixed length string that represents the first. This process is one-way, meaning that once you've hashed a string, you cannot reverse the process.
Encryption is designed to be two-way, data is taken in, along with some form of key, this key is applied to the data through an encryption process and a new string is produced. Then later this same key is able to be applied to the data again through a decryption process and the origin string is retrieved.

A good link on the matter. Another link that puts it very simply.

Ahah, well, I like to call it encryption because it sounds cool
Ill try change it..
Although, is hashing better or worse (worse meaning read)?

Since there is no need to ever reverse the password, since all you need to do is hash the users input and compare against the stored password, hashing is the better method to choose (also since CC programs are open-source encryption wouldn't be overly secure).

Thanks, so I'll stick to hasing.

In other words, anybody have any ideas for a word processor?
I don't want to use shell.run("edit "..input) since if they want to open a saved .txt file they could open any file that the OS requires (Like mainmenu or options)

[mrdawgza]

Version rb4.2 is out!
Changes:
-Improved menus!
-A few bug fixes and improvements.

To install this update on a computer which Old Snorrful OS was previously installed on, head to Update in the options menu. To install this update on a
new computer, download and run the installer!
(The code is A LOT more messier and harder to read)

What's wrong with people looking at your code? And you can't stop it entirely, I could go into my .minecraft folder and look at your code.
