I'd like it to be more transparent.

In matters of code, not alpha channel.

[LeDark Lua]

hmmm transparent, like more lightweight not so hard?

Or you can learn it easier.

Or you will know what the code does in your head, then code it in the engine?

Soo many options I get in my head when someone says transparent.

Easier to code for it and understand the engine

Hmm, it would be cool if we could code our own desktop environments and shells for this. Could you maybe put in support for this, like making startup files and stuff, so we can make cool stuff like OSes for it?

I'll think about it, I thought I would make so that other people can costumize the os but I will think about it.

Cooooool. I really wanna make a highres OTOS and this might be the way to do it

Guys vote if you wan't to make your own programs from scratch or you wan't to modify/create apps and such for the built in OS.

[Anfred]

This is amazing! You should be proud. Please continue working on this. Building it for raspbian linux would be really great. Then a raspberry pi computer could load your OS at startup... On top on linux?
Also, it seems everyone want you to develop every feature in the voting polls. Congrats on those results!

Thanks Anfred, but making it like a real os I dont know, mabie if I understand corectly I could import my source to linux and start it on startup, but I dont know really.

Short UPDATE

Hey guys, I have an update with sound, so expect sound system in game. I will import simple sound but I will implement the whole sound system.

Networking is a poblem but it coming soon too.

Yeah, you get it more or less. My raspberry pi has a config file that lets you set an app to run at startup, before loading the GUI. "Scratch" is the program that it boots into right now, but simply pointing it at your (linux port) LoveOS would mean it could boot straight into your app, and seem like an OS, even though linux would be running.
You would want full screen 720p resolution, so it was not in a window at startup.

On a different subject, I was prompted to install some 3rd party software when opening your app: "direct play" was the software it wanted. I said skip it, and it still worked well. Maybe you could remove the dependency, or trigger, on direct play. I also had some text display issues: the text was crushed a little, so it distorted the font a bit.

Thanks!

[LeDark Lua]

Thanks for the reports, direct play is needed for some stuff to do I left it so that people can install it if they want to run the OS better. And the font is temporary, I'll make my own font using Lua.

Holy crap this keeps getting better!

if custom OSes can be a thing with custom startups and stuff... holy crap Dan200 might have some serious competition with his secret project

[LeDark Lua]

Thanks I dont know if it will compete but I love to update this when there is people checking it out, testing it, reporting bugs etc...

[LeDark Lua]

In the next update ill mabie add DLL extension importing. What i mean by that, you will make something like Sound.dll and you can import it. Or simpler use the functions written in C/C++

If that will not be in the next update, expect HTTP API then

Thank you all for support.

Ok guys, just a bit of a clear off:

Right click on desktop = You can create your icon
Right click on the icon = Dropdownmenu of things you can do
Right click on the icon on the bottom = Close, Minimize, Maximize the app.

[Anfred]

Very cool! Thanks for the update!
