Doors OS 1.0

[Gan]

Mike released a new version of Sc and I was inspired by Windox... so:
Doors OS 1.0
This isn't your average fake operating system, it's that and a little more.
Using Sc's newest drawing and array features I was able to simulate a very realistic looking operating system. Most would have separate cards for each action with no coding involved, but I decided to change that. This uses only 1 card and is all coding. Uses only 2 sprites, and that's for the door logos.
Mac/Windows/Source: Door OS 1.0
The whole minimum infrastructure is created, if someone wanted to add applications, files, or more folders; I made room for more code. The only block is your motivation and the complexity of the code.
Of course if somehow Mike was able to add structs/classes to Sc, I could destroy the complexity down to a very low level.

P.S. Anyone get the jokes? (Not just the ones at the beginning before the pulsing logo)
P.S.S. Now I can officially go back to the iPhone Project.
EDIT: Link now fixed.

Really cool Gan, well done!!

[GuthanSoftware]

Well done Gandolf, and I'm happy I inspired someone   I think I might have to make a new Windox using some resources from doors. For instance the sizeable windows, and timer.

[Gan]

Thanks. Take whatever you need from it, doors is 100% free to the public. I'd love to see Windox advance further. Though just remember, even simple things like resizing a window can get very complicated really fast.
Doors is able to do some special things with drawing/painting commands. Gm doesn't have those, I'm not quite sure how you'd do a few window/resizing/moving feature.

I'm moving to Sc to build a new Os. It'll be nice using a big window

I finally get the point of a DRAW command, you can resize in realtime. What other things can it do?

[GuthanSoftware]

Quick question... This'll sound noobish but I'm new to Sc... How do you make it like in 3 seconds or something go to card 2. I know how easy it is in Gm but yeah... I need help.

Anything... You can draw absolutely anything you want in real time. No need to make sprites, have a sprite limit, ect... The only bounds are your imagination. If you can't think of anything, you'll see amazing new things you can do in time to come.

Truthfully... I have no idea how to set cards to automatically go without code.
I do know how to make it go in code:
In Open Game Event make a timer run on 1 tick. Then make a variable that counts up and when you are on a certain card, make it switch to a different card when the counting variable is equal to 180. That'll give you what you want.

Or if nothing exciting happens on card 1 (no code to execute other than go to card) you could use the wait command.

Code: [Select]

wait 180
gotocard 2

This will wait 180 ticks (about 3 seconds) and then go to card 2.

Live animations too

[Gan]

Yeah. You know, I think I can finish my ScAnimate app with drawing commands now...

Woh, odd demo, and yet it reeks of powerful commands. What's the syntax of draw?

[Gan]

Draw Line

Code: [Select]

DRAWLINE 0, 200, 300, 200     // horizontal line

Draw Oval

Code: [Select]

DRAWOVAL 100, 100, 200, 200

Draw Rect

Code: [Select]

DRAWRECT 100, 100, 200, 200

Draw Round Rect

Code: [Select]

DRAWROUNDRECT 100, 100, 200, 200, 16, 16

Draw String

Code: [Select]

DRAWSTRING "Hello", 50, 50, "Chicago", 48

Draw Filled Oval

Code: [Select]

FILLOVAL 100, 100, 200, 200

Draw Filled Rect

Code: [Select]

FILLRECT 100, 100, 200, 200

Draw Filled Round Rect

Code: [Select]

FILLROUNDRECT 100, 100, 200, 200, 16, 6

Set Pen Color

Code: [Select]

SETPENCOLOR 0, 0, 0         // black
SETPENCOLOR 255, 0, 0       // red
SETPENCOLOR 0, 255, 0       // green
SETPENCOLOR 0, 0, 255       // blue
SETPENCOLOR 255, 255, 255   // white

Set Pen Size

Code: [Select]

SETPENSIZE 10, 1
DRAWRECT 50, 50, 100, 100

Update Screen

Code: [Select]

// update the screen at least once per second
ON TIMER 60
   UPDATESCREEN
END TIMER

That's it. Much faster than sprites and way more versatile.

Draw string?! By thunder that's useful!

Say Al, do you reckon something like that is possible for 4.0?

I just saved a copy of all of those commands. I'll see if I can do them.
