List OS Dev Blog

This is the Official List OS thread.  The OS itself is here.  Check in here often to ask questions, offer suggestions, or see it evolve!
In Scratch 2.0, this will be in the cloud, meaning each user can have his/her "computer".

v.1.0:  List OS is officially released, with 12 commands
v.1.0.1:  Minor update involving exiting programs.
v.1.0.2:  Minor text update
v.1.0.3:  Guess The Number bugfix
v.1.1.0:  Major settings bugfix

COMMANDS:

about
calc
encode/decode
guess the number
help
logout
notepad
prime checker
reset
settings
square checker
quadratic solver

This could have been 0s1s but I didn't want to do it.

Re: List OS Dev Blog

you need to make it less glitchy, especially on guess the number. between each bit it asks for a command, then it asks you a few times what highest and lowest number you want before doing anything.

Re: List OS Dev Blog

also, I think it should clear automatically between each 'app', so if you go on notepad for example, it will clear everything you have done, then it won't clear again until you exit the program. Also, I think each command should be like: //Notepad so that if you type exit on a line it won't exit, only if you type //exit. means the person won't make a mistake. Then, finally when you exit a program and it clears, the commands list should appear automatically like a homepage with the title left at the top saying welcome.

Well, I think that's just about everything. Good luck!

Re: List OS Dev Blog

i mean for organisational purposes, i usually forget to type clear then it appears a mess. so, structure it like this:
HOME'PAGE'
-Shows title
-Shows intro
-Shows command list

AFTER COMMAND IS ENTERED
-Clears Screen
-Shows "Not Recognised" (asks if you want to return to homepage y/n)
+Or+
-Clears Screen
-Completes Command

AFTER COMMAND IS EXITED
-Clears Screen (List)
-Loads Homepage

Re: List OS Dev Blog

The settings is VERY buggy. I say both then it does not ask me for a new username/password.

Re: List OS Dev Blog

Fair enough, I knew you couldn't. Only a real epic scratcher would have been able to and obviously I expected too much of you. Awh, what a pity.

Possibly it was not your intention - but this post comes across as rather a put down.  Perhaps you have some constructive suggestions on how the goal may yet be accomplished?  Maybe teaming up with somebody that can help?

No offence, I meant it as reverse psychology. Basically I asked him to improve the structure of the program as it became confusing and you could get lost, but I never meant to bully him. Just to try and encourage him in the opposite way using reverse psychology. Also, I clearly stated how he could do that, rather than just saying "I get lost, change this" I mentioned in detail what he could do to improve the project.

Well, I don't want to drag this too far off-topic - but in the future, maybe you should skip the fancy psychology and just go with an honest and supportive answer.  It's less likely to be misunderstood.
