My DOS like Operating system.


Please No copying, im not sure if i will sell or give away this one

A^2+b^2=c^2, but D^2-A^2/g^2*t-r-o-u-b-l-e = w+i+t+h / a*(c*a/p^i+t+o+l)/T+rhyming+with/P+f/o*r^(p-o-o/l)

That equation has a quote from a movie in it. Find it for a cookie

@Pixelator

Are you suer you bug-fixed everything before you put the code in the snippet?

@OBese87

When you say "floppy" do you mean the square things that people used before CDs?

Did someone say 3D scanning on my desk, or was that just an AdBot?

@pixel
you wont get many functions in there by checking for strings like that.
Look at TDK's string manipulation functions.

Yep, those clunky old things
I'm not very old but I can remember when 3.5 inch floppies were a new thing, our computer had two drives A: and B: and the B disks where huge (as I remember them anyway) and were really bendy
My PC doesn't have a floppy drive (it has a fake plastic fascia like one though why?)
You could write it to a CD and set your PC to check D: first before loading windows. Or I suppose there must be a way to make the computer shutdown and restart in your operating system.

BIOS, just restart it and hit F12 and set it, but then you have to restart it again to run the operating system.

I get a bunch of syntax errors and unrecognized parameters when I run the code...

Mine does, but I don't think it automatically starts whatever is in there... maybe I should check.

This game looks exactly like a game a played a long time ago, I just can't remember what it was. You would hack into a server, crack a password, and delete the log files in such to prevent from being caught. Are you trying to clone this game by chance?

EVERY BODY HOLD YOU HORSES!!!!!!
(i meant metaphorically but i like the love)
After some intense Wikipedia searching i have found that you cant make an operating system from a exe, because exes contain api commands, not machine code, which is what operating systems have to be because the api commands are interperated by the operating system and executed by that, not the computer itself!!!! Sorry all, but untill you find an exe-to-machine code converter well have to leave the operating systems to windows.

Heres an add-on for drop-down menus. Right now the options can fall out of the box, so I'm working on using OBese87's clip_string function to put a ... on options that are too big.
EDIT: Oopsies, forgot the code.

Nice work, the selection seems a bit "sticky" though.
Also, try using my DLine function for the triangle button and see if it looks any better.

I'm not trying to make an operating system, I'm trying to make a mini-one! It'll be a desktop item. You go to it, and BOOM! You're running the operating system.

I'll google that

Maybe you can do it with DBPro?
Anyway, the only flaw is that you have to start it once windows is open.
Good researching though

You could add it to Programs...Startup or modify the shell line of System.ini (or is it the Win.ini)?

Here's my Radio button add-on


It stores a global string that contains which option is active. The problem is, it stores it in the global (see the top-left corner of the screen for it), however, the checkbox itself does not appear to be checked! can someone help me with this problem?

They are called Radio buttons because only one can be selected at a time. Car radios have buttons like that, if you press one in the rest will pop out. Old TVs have the same buttons to select channels.
Don't call them check boxes, they are completely different, you can have multiple check boxes selected and only one radio button.

right now I'm working on a GUI designer that uses the OBese87 method. Just drag stuff on your window and you get the code written automatically. I'm the one doing the hard work actually coding!
