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

The 16 colour palette is recolourable. That means you can't apply RGB values on a pixel-by-pixel basis, but you can stick an RGB value into your palette and have your your pixels index into that.

That is to say, you can display at most 16 unique colours on your screen at any given time, but you can choose what those colours are.

Don't know if this has been posted on here yet, but this seems awesome!

Can't wait until it gets released

Yup, it has been posted. It is still awesome.

What do you mean?

Speaking of operating systems...

Is that Silica? If so, then can you upload the .love file so that I can try it?
Looks awesome by the way.

[Creator]

It really does. Congratulations. The modified emulator ca also be used without Silica, right?

You mean Gamax emulator? I don't believe it's that hard to modify the code as it's open-source and it's made in Lua.
But yeah, you can use it without Silica.

Ooh, that's really pretty. You'll be glad to hear the new project has been written in such a way that it's easy to support new Operating Systems and Window Managers.

does this next CC include a preformance boost?

As others have stated, this is probably not a mod, but a game.

*ehm* A program *ehm*

Then it may be almost as fast as standard Lua.

Will it be event driven? Hopefully not.
Why is there a need for a palette, it is not like it will be a multiplayer thing. I would really appreciate 32 bit, or at least 24 bit colors.

[LeDark Lua]

Creator,
Did you saw the "mouse" in the video? Maybe its not event driven.

[Creator]

Hopefully!

I found this, then had an idea for CraftOS 2.0 (https://github.com/D...nalLogic/pngLua (Haven't actually checked if it works))
An actual web browser! With Rendering (Not just displaying text, but formatting it also)

Actually, with the 16 colour restriction, this may be pretty hard...

BTW Dan, what's our storage size limit?

I just hope the default shell will have support for I/O redirecting (pipes!). The io API would be a sensible way to do this.

[Creator]

I just saw an os.pullEvent in the video meaning that it will be event driven, which is rather sad because almost no programming language works like this.

At the very least I hope there will be no 10 sec limit.

Well, it depends. OpenGL is primarily event driven. However, you could always avoid using an event driven section through some sort of input poll method:

os.queueEvent("test_event")
local cursorX, cursorY
while true do
  local e = {os.pullEvent()}
  if e[1] == "test_event" then break end

  if e[1] == "mouse_drag" then
    cursorX = e[2] cursorY = e[3]
  else if ...
  end
end
