have you thought about adding an internet browser and the ability to create websites for it?

Yes, in fact I was looking at creating an HTML renderer for it. I might later, I'm busy working on the ComputerCraft app store at the moment.

How do you use pastebin. When I type it in, it says "no such program"

You need to turn 'http' on in your config file, I'm pressed for time at the moment but a quick google or search on the forums will find the answer.

This is an AWESOME OS :D

I really want to add movable windows into my OS, ones that can run the shell inside a small window that can be re-sized and moved.
Do you have any tips or helpful functions? I have a slight idea on how to do it, but I haven't done much with coroutines and stuff like that.

First, I'd try to make a rectangle, or even just character that you can drag around the screen. Feel free to go through PearOS and see how it works. If you need anymore help or you have any questions PM me.

Yeah, I've been trying to make a shape API, one that allows you to draw boxes, circles and stuff. I even made a few functions that allow you to draw draggable boxes, so I know a little bit about the "mouse_drag" events.

But the thing i'm wondering is how to get a shell to run inside the box, and how to run more than 1 of them.

Thanks for the permission too :D

You'll need to create an environment, run a shell instance, os.run("programs/shell"), then override the term.write method to write to the pixel you want it to.

It isn't more advanced than LyqydOS. It may be slightly prettier, but it isn't more advanced. You are welcome to your opinion, of course.

Such a great and supporting admin. Also loving the constructive criticism.

You should probably read more than just the first page of a topic and try to contribute positively when you post. If you have an issue with an administrator or moderator, it should be handled via PM.

The flickering may be easiest solved by buffering the screen output and comparing it against new draws so that only changed lines need to be redrawn, and then only redrawing those lines when the program yields. That's how I killed the flickering in LyqydOS. :)/>

Also you can allow windows and other stuff to draw themself in some sort of a buffer and at the end of this process just draw the buffer on the screen. Thi will free you from comparing changes in old and new version. I've implemented this solution in my OS.

If I understand you correctly, then PearOS does this. Otherwise, I don't :P

I'm not working on this anymore. However, when the App Store is complete I will be making a brand new OS which will have this feature.

Practice. Do things with it. Research the best ways to do those things with it.
