jBasic OS
«

June 12, 2010, 02:40:25 am »
jBasic OS is a branch off of mine from the jBasic project (
link
) but its a complete re-write, and a completely different project entirely, but it was inspires by jBasic.
jBasic OS is going to be a web OS with tasks, windows, custom cursors and more. Its kind of like EyeOS, but different. jBasicOS will have a desktop client (using xulrunner) and can be run off of a web server if anybody is so inclined to set one up :p
The desktop client will have little or no xul interface, it will most likely be just a window open to an html document.
Making applications for it will be easy i hope, I will have commands for creating windows, interfacing with them, moving them. I will also have commands for interfacing with the mouse. Tasks can be cancelled by a task manager, i will have a system speed variable (framerate) to let you know how much of a slowdown you are undergoing due to open applications. Applications will be required to name their functions starting with the application name, then an underscore so they can interface with the system without messing things up.
Currently I ony have the ideas in my head, and the basic headers on my files, so wish me luck, I'll post updates as I go.
If anybody wants to help me with the project, please let me know, hopefully we can work together on it

Sounds cool. I'll be more interested once it's out of your head and in javascript, though
Have fun!

I verify that it works in chrome... check!
If any browser has trouble, it'll probably be IE

No, I'm getting stuck with the 83+.... My little sister is getting the 84+...
I do have a computer now, so I can develop with wabbit and such...although it would be better if I had wabbit on my linux side
YAY! it works in chrome! IE will probably have trouble for sure....oh well, it's going to be xulrunner based, so I don't really have to worry.

Sorry again about the doublepost, just a major announcement again though
you can resize now by draggin the box on the bottom corner!

hmm...looks cool. So, will it support a mini-browser of sorts? That would be cool; Have a homepage that runs all your programs and various web pages. It just might make chromium OS bearable for me!
Good luck with your OS/Page/Thing.

Oh yeah, IE gives problems. Umm... It looks as if e.button is null. In the mouse.js that is.

Nice, resizable. My only complaint is that window 2 is stuck above window 1. (Hopefully this shouldn't be too hard to change)
Keep up the good work!

Thanks all
grphmaster: umm...hmmm, which line was that on?
willrandship: actually I intend to make this standalone, but powered by xulrunner, but yes, I will allow for an online version
It will support a mini browser of sorts, but someone will have to code it, or I could, when I'm done....if someone was to post the code for one (has to have all it's javascript in it right now prefixed with "<name of thing>_" for the functions.) I would be happy to include it
make sure it has tabs though
I love tabs
I'm thining about how to install new applications for it...I most likely will have to have them in a file and then javascript will set it up according to a folder setup...so like you would make a zip with this folder setup:
Code:
[Select]
Javascript/
Images/
Css/
<app name>.js
and then you would change the .zip extension to something else...not sure what yet.
calcdude84se: yes I know about that, I will try to figure out how to solve that later...
anybody want to hear about my tasker setup?
EDIT: I just added close buttons and minimize buttons, minimize just makes it so only the title is seen or the window is 200x200
---merged by Eeems---
sorry about the doublepost but I just made it so that the active window is on top
yay!
