FlowOS is here!


pastebin get ZsyCFtWr


Now Open Source! Edit/Modify it as you wish! Post your own versions!


FlowOS is a new OS built for you, and the community.

It's currently a Developer Preview, as it lacks a lot of features.

The UI is not final, just a new version from Nut OS.

FlowOS is not a multitasking OS, and does not have windows. Only full screen apps. Super simple, for the best user experience.

if not term.isColor then
print("FireOS requires a advanced computer.")
error()
end

You are checking to see if term.isColor is equal to false. It is true, so the program carries on. And crashes.

term.isColor() -- parantheses

Well actually he is checking if term.isColor is nil, not equal to false, this is a good way to check if it's being run on pre-CC1.4 computers, but yes, if its a normal computer this line will allow it to continue, and crash.

Actually
if not (term.isColor and term.isColor()) then
  error("FireOS requires an advanced computer.", 0)
end
Would be the better way to do it.

I had to leave for karate. Gosh. :blink:

And I typed out my story why this is a development release, but for some reason, it just deleted everything. So I'll give you the short version.

One day, a noob by the name of nutcase, started development of a OS. He lost the code from a hard drive error, so he started again, but now he was good at coding, so he could make it better. He released this OS called Nut OS, It wasn't all that great, and was incomplete. But he lost time to support and update it, so he scraped it. But after a while, he found more time. So he started a new OS called Firewolf OS. People didn't like the name, so he scraped it. Now, he's releasing a new OS based on Nut OS. It shall be called Fire OS. He hopes to make this OS great.

Oh man, what a story. :D

It was going to be, but I got impatient just sitting on the code. :D

Thank you! Diamonds to you! (And a OS. :D)

Added a poll, as I said before, this UI probably isn't final. Please vote!

13.9.26.1DP released. Fixed the normal computer bug.
Spoiler

I have recently googled FireOS, and it turns out that's amazon's android based operating system. So I am renaming. Again. I am thinking about Flow and FlowOS. It sounds cool, and modern. What do you think?

Please add some more information about your OS. Is it multitasking or windowed? And add more screens!
What icon size do you use?

Added a little more info, I will add more screenshots with the next update.

The icons are currently 5x5, but I think I'm going to upgrade them to 5x7, I don't really know. What do you think?

Thanks for fast reply! I think that 5x7 icons can be too large for standard resolution. Did your OS support custom resolutions?

Not currently... It's half done. I'm slowly making it work.

This looks exactly the same as a few other OS' I've looked at.
I don't know, but maybe you should list out the features that are unique to your OS specifically.

Nothing unique about my OS right now, well, not that I know of. :P

I think DP means "Developer Preview".

DP = Developer Preview
CP = Consumer Preview

Then it will be normal releases.
