Hello everyone,
I've been working on a new OS/Shell for TI-83/84 Plus the last time, called ChaOS. Okay, I admit, it's not completely BASIC, it is using xLIB and Celtic2 :blush: but that is only for graphics and prog/data managing.
It features/will once feature an interface with a mouse and windows, the ability to program object orientated programming in basic, acces to a file system, a method to use the GUI and run multiple programs at once by that way. You can use all this functions with a scripting system and a library. But most of all, it is fun making an OS in Basic! :P
The GUI is almost working, i've got ideas for the file system and the scripting is done. I'm sorry, I'm not able to get the program from my calc at the moment  , so if you're interested in cooperating email me. I'm not very active at these forums.
Please don't spam me with comments before you've seen it. ASM programmers help is also useful, There is a function that just runs some ASM command and I don't know any asm :P
I hope this project will finish! |

Better bring your swords and shields out 'cause the words "BASIC" and "Shell" or "OS" used in the same sentence has been known to start wars!

| I was thinking that an interesting (if maybe impractical way to make this would be to make one app which is the main app and then occasionally run another app (using an asm subroutine) which would do the function indicated by a variable/ans and then run the first app. It would be complicated but not necessarily impossible. |

| But...why not just put them all into one app? |

| If you have tons of features, you could shove them all in this way. And use up several app pages instead of just one. |

| It isn't really an os no matter what you call it because you will need ti-os to run the basic part of it meaning it can't replace it. I would call it a shell if anything but have fun. |

I personnaly think that a peaceful protest is the best way to show your disagreement...
To everyone on this forum:
Peace man!
And yes, I know an OS should replace Ti-OS... but an OS sounds just cooler 
Btw, though it is written in Basic, The mouse is still faster than in DoorsCS 6 (partially thanks to xLIB :biggrin: )
It has a library that has an empty first line, and each 'script' command just pastes "Goto" plus the two chars of the script and then runs it. The features are started with libels and end with 'return' you can run it by running the original prog...
however thanks for the idea! |

| You can make the cursor in DCS move faster. The fastest setting is 1 (the left number) and 4 (the right number). |
