Re: Balloon OS - Some help needed

Well, I can help but i find the project rather buggy. If I were to press the space key, nothing happens. But good try anyway!  wink

Re: Balloon OS - Some help needed

it does work
you are supposed to press space, type the website page url into the ask box and press 1
if you see a scroll tag, it means you can go to the next page. press the page num +1 key

Ok. And i noticed you are making an OS...

Thanks, anyway.

Edit: I just found out it's made using Panther.

Re: Balloon OS - Some help needed

For command prompt... I was thinking I could put it in a thumbdrive and give it to you at school, but I could help through the internet too, though not as much. I suggest:

Forever
When Variable Command Prompt?=Yes
Switch to costume Command Prompt
Ask,"What would you like to do?"
If answer=Ping, broadcast Ping.
Else, say, I don't understand that command(for user friendly computers) or
I don't understand join Command with answer(For reality;it comes out as, I don't understand Command <insert command here>)

I hope you understood the above, cause I hate using Scratch Blocks

Re: Balloon OS - Some help needed

As for the apps, I suppose I can contribute a few ideas. Let me dig through my binder for a minute. Ah.... here it is. Practical Calculator. I'll get around to making it. Eventually. I think I'll fully comment it, too. That brings my number of projects to 4. Ouch.

Maybe we can help each other? At the moment, my OS is still in the planning stage. I can always give a couple of good codes out (specifically for the app station) to fellow developers.

Anyways, I suggest coding in Panther. It's more powerful (specifically object I/0) and can read from the web to boot.

The idea simply is thus:

if <function = multiply>
set <result> to <number 1 * number 2>
else
   if <function = divide>
   set <result> to <number 1 / number 2>
   else
      if <function = add>
      set <result> to <number 1 + number 2>
      else
        if <function = subtract>
        set <result> to <number 1 - number 2>
        else

Make sure result is set to large readout.

Re: Balloon OS - Some help needed

I found an equation to make your icons snap to a grid:

Go to   x: (Grid_size * (round (x / grid_size) ) )    y: (Grid_size * (round (y / grid_size) ) )

Use that on your icon sprites  smile

Re: Balloon OS - Some help needed

@wei:

You probably should start a website or forum. It'll be that much easier to keep track of everything and..... you can get help on all those pesky issues. I'd be willing to pop by and give a hand every now and then.

Re: Balloon OS - Some help needed

@tinoesroho:

I also have a calculator project, but it is unpublished. The script, which uses many variables, is a little troublesome to make, but it's smoother. If you want the script, download my soon published Number Cruncher.

Re: Balloon OS - Some help needed

I'm not complaining. I'm saying that ssss seems to think a Scratch OS is a great thing, one of a kind. I'm pointing out to him it has been done, many times.

NUKES THE <removed> 60 SECOND RULE!!!!! ARGH!!!!!
