This year, I would like to introduce a new IDE software for developing an operating system with BASIC programming language called DevOS Studio IDE, is a free software for Windows platform. It's similar like Cosmos of C#, but this is with BASIC code.

The software is under development, try the beta release to test yourself and you can enjoy for a stable release.

Current version (Beta): 0.9.2945

Site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/devos-studio/

Good project fy1vo51. I think you did good project while I suck at making programs. You might saw ArgonOS Failure that I was a dickhead.
Okay. But you need to read this because this project could have been better.

Strongly recommended of those actions are these:

> You need to switch to QB64 from QBasic. / Because QBasic is not maintained since 1990 and does not support x86_64. QB64 is advanced version of QBasic anyways.
> You need to add UEFI and ACPI support. / Who really uses those dinosaur computers like BIOS only and Non-APM/ACPI pc's?
> Touchscreen support is required. / Because some people have touchscreen computers and touchscreen tablets today.
> Add ARM64 support. / Because some people that are poor and uses Raspberry Pi computers.
> Add Vector graphics and 32 bit bitmap graphics mode. / Nobody will get interested while it is graphically low library called FormGUI with 16bit 640x480 mode.
> SATA and SSD support is needed / Hard drives are no longer in demand so you need to add SSD support.
> Replace DOSBox with QEMU / People are using QEMU for emulation not DOSBox.
> Add signature to software. / Its very hard but there are open source digital authentication signature software you can check it out. Antiviruses will ask to remove it if you dont sign the software.
> Make it cross-plaform / Because some people are using GNU/Linux and macOS'es too.
> Make a proper documentation. / Some people wants to learn how to make operating systems.
> Unicode support is required with localization. / Different nations use keyboards with different layouts. Also some people might not know English.

So if you do these things, your software will become popular. Otherwise nobody will download it.

Regards,

It looks nice, as IDEs go. :) But you omit something important: which version(s) of Basic does it cover? Microsoft BASIC? BBC Basic? Microsoft QuickBasic? FreeBasic? Microsoft Visual Basic? Someone else's BASIC?

(There is a BBC Basic OS, but it's unmaintained.)

fy1vo51,

Reporting posters who are providing feedback or asking for source code (you supposedly are releasing your project under the LGPL, according to your Sourceforge page, so where is the source code?) as "off topic" is an abuse of the report system. If you can not accept constructive criticism, you should avoid posting your project in the first place.
