DREAM16 OS - The new GUI in town! =] (UPDATE!!!)
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2009 6:26 pm
Hello my fellow geeks! I am here to show you my latest program. I was messing around with some Qbasic GUIs last night and it kind of inspired me. I have always been amazed by Qbasic GUIs, so I thought I would make one!
I have never made a GUI in Qbasic before or even used the mouse in my programs so this is not going to be the best. Also, I just started it last night so it is incomplete.
It is mouse driven. It features a desktop with 10 icons currently. The icons allow you to run scripts (PROSEED) or apps (MS-DOS programs) and manage files and other things as well.
It features a nice and simple password system. It also has a screen saver with a timer that you can customize. You can also change icon colors. This is all done in the control panel icon.
When you click the power icon, it saves your setting and prepares for you to power down (I am trying to get an asm routing so it powers down for you).
I will continue working on this and adding more. This includes the ability to customize the desktop with user defined options. Also, I would like to add a memory meter to the desktop. As I work on PROSEED, I will try to make it work along side DREAM16 better.
There are several apps and scrips included with the package, there is also no password currently set when you 1st run it.
I just started this LAST NIGHT, so it might have 'a few' problems.
