Rosy OS+, an extension of another Scratch OS, Rosy OS!

[GlitchyZorua]

The development for the project is  SLOW due to limitations, don't worry, i'll find ways around it!

When I first used scratch, The thing i really like to do is look at Scratch Projects that are specifically, Operating Systems! Those being ones that are making fun of microsoft, ones that are trying to make a simulator of an real os (Such as colorgram's Windows 10 Simulator), to people starting from the top, and making something really unique!

Now, I tried making my fair share of OS's in the past, and lets just say... hoo boy they are embarrassing! 

They were full of bugs, inconsistencies, and... i don't know, unfinished?

Fast forward to 2023, i've been taking a trip down memory lane, looking at all of the operating systems i played around with, in the past, ofc. One of the many old ""Operating Systems"" that fascinated me the most was Rosy OS v1.3.

And it was NOSTALGIC, it was kinda everything that i want a Scratch OS to be. and Rosy OS, kinda achieves that.



Now there was a lot of limitations, such as games being a little bit barebones, and... the colors bleeding my eyes...

but still, it was perfect.

Then I decided to make my own version of it, but i didn't upload it on Scratch, cause its using a heavily modified version of Scratch, which... is PenguinMod, (which is based on TurboWarp)

I call it, Rosy OS+, (Or Rosy+OS, or Codename, Dragon OS)

Features!

- More apps!
- More Wallpapers!
- Including a Terminal, which has Experimental Linux Support
- Ultra Wide HD 4K, for wider screens!!
- and... I'm not even gonna list them all here yet!


Goals

Rosy OS+ has 3 goals. One, being the love letter to all of the Scratch OS's on scratch. Two, to add features in Rosy OS+ that Rosyda intended adding, but never gotten to finish it, because they moved on, of course. and three, To see how advanced this project will be.

It made me sad that the entire project was just abandoned, after Rosyda left Scratch, I wanted to implement features that were gonna be added in the next updated version of RosyOS!


Screenshots!




Not-so-FAQ

But.. why?

Because I am bored, and want to do something fun!

What is the recommended specs to run this project?
I would recommend a beefy computer! Using an old PC is not recommended, as there is a lot of scripts running.

I can't load it to Scratch!

Make sure you load it to penguinmod, and not Scratch!

Rosy OS+ is full of bugs and unfinished features. Most features are pretty janky, don't worry, i'll find a work around.

Let me know if you see any bugs! (Or want to share feedback..)

Lazily put together demo:

This is  really cooool! The animations are all so smooth; also I totally used that same FatRat song in one of my early games 

I feel like you are mostly interested in exploring UI design, but it would be interesting to have some sort of narrative in the OS, or some point when it stops being an OS and becomes something unexpected!

At anyrate thankyou for posting, its cool to seee

This is so cool! Unfortunately I'm not able to upload any projects to Penguinmod and try it myself (it says it's not accepting uploads, but that could also be due to my weird browser configurations. They cause problems sometimes), but I watched the video and it looks really cool! I do love GUI design and like exploring projects like these.

What i can do is compile it to a .exe, or a .dmg, or a linux app, or even a html document. so you won't get into any problems! for now though, i'm pausing the project until the people behind uhhh penguinmod fixes their editor! cause its based on a very old version turbowarp, and thats one of the many problems i have with it.

From what i heard, its gonna take them some time because GitHub's pull request thingy is getting really stubborn. (and because they have to do alot of server maintenance, oof!)

So uh. yeah.

OK i made some progress despite some limitations!


to keep the file size small, i've decided to make it load each individual sprite for linux. if you wanna use linux on Rosy OS +, you gotta download the required sprites!

Open up the console, type in "linux", press enter, then press y (and then enter again). wait for it to download, when its done, type linux, again, and... enjoy.

I've decided to push a new version of the OS!

To enter to the BIOS, hold the B key on your keyboard and click the blue flag!

have fun! and let me know if you want me to compile this to windows, mac os, or linux!

I'm thinking about having a stocks and weather app on this thing, additionally, how about a sports, recipe, health and fitness, and Maps app? 

[GlitchyZorua]

Progress of the Stocks app! 



Its gonna have an Inflation calculator! 

[GlitchyZorua]

Made some accessibility changes to the clock.



I kinda dont like it. less fancier and more childish  , what do you all think?
