I am making an OS in Scratch. My goal is to make it advanced enough that I can do anything I need in this operating system. I may need to use Panther, though I am hoping to keep in Scratch. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Make a scripting language, and some way of manipulating graphics using it (like pen blocks). If the language is Turing-complete, there's little you can't do.
Good idea. I'll try to do that.

Cool! When will it come out?
I have a suggestion. Make plenty of apps for the operating system.

Yes, I like the scripting idea, that way people can make small programs. One thing that I've always been fascinated by, was a web-browser or something in it. Though to make mini-websites would either require updating the project a lot, or saving the mini-websites onto a website and get the contents from there, though that would require Panther ( or some other Scratch Mod ). But it would be cool if you made it and I would be willing to help.

Great ideas. I'll make a development thread. I'll post updates on that thread.

I really think you'll need a Scratch mod for it, and preferably even not making it in Scratch. IMO you need better class organization for an OS with a programming language, and better speed. Scratch offers neither.
Good luck nonetheless, and I hope this turns out well

Thanks!

Neat! I'd actually had the same idea! I've been working on an OS that has a programming language built into it. That way people will be able to write their own apps without ever leaving the project!

Yeah, that post is quite related to the topic
The idea of retrieving webpages using a Scratch mod is wonderful. Interpreting and rendering simple HTML should be possible with a mod, maybe Panther.

In Scratch 2.0, you can make a "web browser" and maybe an "app store" for an OS lol.

Ill make applications (and viruses) for it.
