I dont really have an os yet but i created something fun in the error screen :)
Yep, Snake in the error screen :D
btw its running on my old nearly broken laptop !

funfact: the error screen has more function then the os itself !

I really love seeing when people got their OS running on the real hardware. and when they include fun too. the more you are seeing things like that, the more you understand why it's so interesting!

I'm not sure I understand what is going on. Is your OS running Xnest which redirects the X output to the host OS? Did you port stuff like an init system, ifup/down and the ALSA user-space to your OS? That is quite a remarkable achievement! Did you have to implement many Linux specific system calls/interfaces in order to be able to do that? :D


The host OS (Ubuntu in this case) is running Xnest, and then Pedigree is running xclock with the DISPLAY variable set appropriately.

This is the POSIX/Linux subsystem for Pedigree running a Debian live CD squashfs converted to an ext2 filesystem. The system call interface detects a Linux binary and changes its ABI slightly to support this. There's a decent number of system calls to support, but getting the semantics right is the most challenging part.

OK so: file extensions. In the file browser app I've decided to go with a list view since the resolution is simply too small to make an icon view with filenames readable enough for my taste. The problem is that file extensions become even more of a sore in this case. I could hide them, but I know there are pitfalls for that (even from a security viewpoint, though that may be overkill for Indigo), and could be an issue if related file types get the same icon (probably not in my case, but e.g. in a modern OS this could happen to things like PNG, GIF and JPEG, or MP3 and OGG, etc.).

Solution: show the file extensions but deemphasize them. Makes it much clearer where the name itself actually ends at a glance (allowing for faster eyescanning) while still keeping the extension around if you really want to know.

Image

...and yes, there are less buttons. Ended up rewriting it from scratch with a new algorithm for the filename list because it had gotten a horrible mess. Did in one day what took me a couple of weeks before and it's also a tad easier to use and makes some other features easier (e.g. sorting filenames, if I want to add that). Yay? ._.'

file extension hiding is pure evil. :D

While I agree, I would actually say that file extensions are evil, period. IMAO, this is the sort of thing that should be file metadata, not part of the file name.

Then again, my real view is that conventional file systems are evil, anyway, but given how Project Xanadu actually worked out, and the compromises they ended up making with the 'release' version (after 50+ years of grinding on it unsuccessfully before finally lowering their bar in order to get it 'completed' before Ted dies), I guess we're stuck with them for the foreseeable future.

No, they are good. Think of them as of metadata. Metadata as attributes of a file stored somewhere in the guts of a FS aren't visible as easily as file extensions though. Thus they are more like hidden extensions. It's just a comfortable place to put some metadata in. Why to not use it if it is so convenient for the interface with user?

Soon, right now I'm busy working on another project - a really big isometric simulator that is a combination of The Sims, SimCity, and has a block-based world like MineCraft. It is made in Benedikt S. Vogler's Wurfel Engine (Java), and it's gonna be quite big.

For simulation, I used the amazing library GitHub.com/Ellzord/JALSE (Elliot Zord's Java Artificial Life Simulation Engine)

The simulation part is done, it's just the graphics that are not complete.

At the moment the game is made up of 2 entire NetBeans Projects, one for Simulation and one for the game itself.

Luckily you can create a filter with AdBlock Plus/uBlock Origin to hide anything you don't want to see ;)

This is what NSFW means. Look at your signature.
