Re: How to Make an OS?

As TornFusion said, researching OSes would help. I suggest researching any OS for the basic layout, and then Xenotype for advanced functions.

Re: How to Make an OS?

Just promice me you won't do this: copy the windows or mac layout with the start menu ect, think of your own!  big_smile  It makes a much better and more interesting OS!  wink

PS: this shouldn't really be in advanced topics!  smile

Re: How to Make an OS?

First, make a sprite for each application with at least two costumes. Costume one is what you click and costume 2 is the application itself. like this: <when[  ]clicked><next costume>

Re: How to Make an OS?

Like Daffy22 said, don't copy windows or mac, it is just a bit boring. Also, try adding an app maker, they help too.

Adding IDEs is REALLY hard. An External app developer (like iSyn) is easier though.
