OK lets say that CraftOS 2.0. is standalone thing.

Wonder how long it will take before someone releases "ComputerCraft" emulator for CraftOS 2.0 and kills 9/10 emulators that are out there?

What's that at the border? It doesn't look like Minecraft, so it's probably standalone...
It's around 1:02 in the video, for reference.

That'd be great news!

Looks like his desktop, so he might be using an standalone to write CraftOS 2.0 before actually adding it to ComputerCraft fully.

Dan has already stated that this isn't a mod for Minecraft, so it's not CC.

What is more incredible is that this started in April - it feels much more recent than that!

This sounds like it is to me, just my two cents.
"CraftOS is the Lua programmable, retro computing inspired, virtual operating system originally designed for the hit Minecraft mod "ComputerCraft". CraftOS 2.0 adds a wealth of new graphical and audio capabilities to CraftOS, with a focus on Game Development."

How would it be focused on game development?

[KnightMiner]

From the sound of it, the goal is an easy API to create custom video games. Like just about anything on the games section of the forums here, only with more advanced abilities.

"originally designed for the hit Minecraft mod"

It might have 'evolved' out of minecraft. In fact, I'd say that he only would've said "originally" if it weren't to be used in minecraft.

It's possible that there will be a new version of ComputerCraft and a standalone emulator-like version.

That is what is happening apparently.

[Gonow32]

Ah, okay, where was this stated? Or did I miss something in the wording of the tweets?

Here! And I don't think you've missed anything.

Well then, so the pixels are re-color-able or we can: term.setBackgroundColor(colors.make("rgb", 158, 12, 36)) ?

[CrazedProgrammer]

Holy pepperoni this is awesome!
Can't wait to make some APIs and demos for this.

[Creator]

The big question is when it will be released. Can't wait too.

That looks like the OS X Yosemite default background. Definitely a desktop application
