I finally have finished Skip 2.0! big_smile

For those of you who are reading this and are like "what the heck is Skip?" It's the programming language I made in Scratch that I wrote my OS - DevOS - in. It's new features are:

-Keyboard input
-equality if statements
-text coloring and sizing
-slightly better code parsing and running system

And the new VM includes:

-Automatic booting (by calling the boot code on a Skip VDisk)
-easily developable Skip VDisks (virtual boot and system file disks)
-A "no boot file" error wich also lets you switch between VDisks
-key commands that will let you, delete the current boot file, the best way to get to the "no boot file" error, show the controls (power, volume, special keys), and show all of your VDisks.

This took me a long time to make, so DevOS 2.0 is not going to come in it's own VM. It will come in a VDisk though, letting you import it into this project and running it natively.

It doesn't work online so you'll have to download it:

It's still in the starting stages now. It may take up to a month! Changing a whole interface isn't easy.

I finished the VDisk maker if you want to make your own virtual boot disks for the SkipVM.

So if DevOS is going to be a VDisk, how are we going to write programs for it?

Easy. (I had to think this through before I implemented the VDisk idea) VDisks include only the boot and OS files. These are the files needed to start up. So, when you "insert" the VDisk, it loads it's files into the stored code list, unless they're already there. Apps you write for DevOS are also stored in the stored code list, so they are accessible from any code using the "call" command. That means that when DevOS is booted, it will read from it's system files, but it can call apps from the list. That also means that if you get a new DevOS VDisk to update your old one, your apps will still be there.

Oh, I see. Makes sense.

And another great thing about this is that people can share their app on VDisks, and people can load them into the VM.

That's the issue I was thinking of. Apps for DevOS would require a different format, because they would run inside the DevOS VDisk, not the Skip VM.

What you would do is boot off of the app install disk, which would add that app to the stored code, then the app install disk's boot code would call DevOS, and you would be able to use that app.

You'll see when it comes out.
