Operating systems? On the Iphone?!
Yes , i have decided to develop an operating system for The Ipod/iphone.
My goal is to make an app that will convert your iphone into a computer powed by stencyl.
The system im making will be called Theiros, but i have one issue how do i make an operating system with a game studio? the answer is mess with the inputs, if i figure out how i can get this to work with a touch screen i can make this better than windows 1 and some failed attempts at internet enabled Operating system emulators.
This one wont have internet browsers but maybe some programs that require internet connectivity, like a news center, download store, and a music shop.
I'll be making a news app for the project.

Well actually, if it's anything to do with programming, or anything related to advanced os discussion, it should stay here

I think you aren't allowed to do that.
Apple doesn't want any program which can run code on the Ipod/iphone in the app store!
it would be for jailbroken ipods i'd believe

Re: Operating systems? On the Iphone?!
Writing an OS is very complicated. Very. And that's when you have full access to the hardware. With iPhones or iPod touch you little to no access, jailbroken or not.
Scratch is not a OS maker. But if you want to learn to make an OS there are some websites just for you! But beware it's very complicated. No drag and drop, you code EVERYTHING.

u can't make an OS using Stencyl... it uses flash which u need a real operating system to run it...
on Windows u could remove explorer.exe from msconfig and use ur Stencyl thing like an OS Shell.

Re: Operating systems? On the Iphone?!
Not trying to spoil anyone's dreams here, but last time I checked, Stencyl was a game maker.
Attempting to create an operating system using a game maker might be a teensy weensy leensy bit futile.
Making it run as the native OS on a device is (sigh) even more futile.
Maybe try to write it as a derivative of linux as the iOS is? I have no idea how to do that but it may be possible.

Re: Operating systems? On the Iphone?!
Furthermore, building an OS better than Windows 1 from scratch (no pun intended.) will take years and years of research, and a few more years of figuring out how to do it with Stencyl.
You need to create a shell, a native language, your own system of allocating memory, and a SDK for making applications.
I'm a pessimist, so here's my line. If you were me, I would tell me this: Don't try it. It isn't worth it.
