Hello, This OS is still a W.I.P by far but I thought I would let others still see how it looks so far.

Note This OS only works in 1.74+, using this in 1.73 or lower will not work and you will just get an error :P


Currently all I have finnished is,
  • LoginScreen.
  • HomeScreen
  • CommandBlock Accouncer (I am not responsible if you get in trouble for using this)
  • Custom API for OS and PrivateUse (Not to be re-distributed by others, and I may add more functions to it)
Currently what I am planning to add is,
  • Calculator
  • Games (Not highest priority :P)
  • and probably more :P
This is my first OS so somethings can probably be improved :P
If you have any suggestions or tips, please leave them below as they will help me out.

Installer: pastebin run xVmpTesr (Cool coincidence that it looks like 'test' as this is my first os :D)


There is also a cool easter egg in the installer :D


EDIT (21st/8/2015): I am not continuing this project, I have come to realise that what I wanted it to function does not really count as an OS and it really has limited functions. I will instead be making a console with just games on it. When it is done it will likely be linked in my signature below :)

Ok, I think calling this AutismOS in the OS is a bit insensitive IMO.

There is also a lack of simple guidance on how to use the OS. I really have no idea how to use this. How exactly does it work?

I called it AutismOS cause I have Autism but I am happy to remove it.

Also thanks for the tip, I will be putting out screenshots and a guide as soon as I get the HomeScreen done :)

It's completely broken but,

It's a nice operating system however I had problems installing it and even when I finished when it booted I ran into an error, screenAPI was named incorrectly, then once I renamed it, It still wouldn't boot because you cannot use term.getTextColor() or term.getBackgroundColor(). Once I fixed most instances of that I got to the password part, it rebooted then crashed.

So you weren't using CC 1.74? It clearly states this only works in 1.74+

Sorry, I realised that when I heard about term.getColour().

Well it's nice, but the color choices are questionable :P
Seems like a little bit of a lack of functions, I think it only has two functional features:
- Login Password System
- Command Block Announcer
! Calculator is a button but returns an error when pressed.

And, if you have closed the operating system, you should state that at the top of your post

Just re-joined this site after nearly a whole year, I forgot how moderation works, but may an admin or someone please remove this post as It is old, I removed the code from my paste bin & I abandoned this project a year ago.
