I pondered it, then I thought "unix, linux, dos ... all ascii on the most part" so figured whats the point? :) I might be tempted to write an ascii OS simulator or something. > _________________ _______ > | AsciiOS Error |______________|- + x| > | | > | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | > | Illegal Instruction at 0xdeadbeef | > | | > | .--------. .-------. .-----------. | > | |[ OK ]| | Debug | | Go Insane | | > | '--------' '-------' `-----------' | > | .--------. .-------. .-----------. | > | | Cancel | | Swear | | Call Cops | | > | '--------' '-------' `-----------' | > |____________________________________| Diddled :) > No doubt this'll be useful...

i think this would kinda be cool, i mean it wouldnt actually be an OS but kinda like a .exe program and if u wanted to, could make it start when windows starts, i would really like to make something like this, i only know QBASIC though so if someone else know that they can help me.

In the spirit of ascii-art it should really be written in something portable. I'd probably recommend Perl for this sort of thing. For Unix users there is a similar project called Twin, at http://linuz.sns.it/~max/twin/ which is kind of a text mode windowing system.

I was going to do something in C or C++. Probably C. Pure ANSI C using ncurses would be fairly portable (ncurses has been ported to loads of OSs) and provides quite a few low-level things that would be needed. > ObASCII: another important app > _____________ _______ > | AsciiMine |_____________|- + x| Oh god ... save me ... must ... do ... ascii ... arrg!

Hey, You've got some pretty good ideas. Someone should (I'm not looking at the mirror yet) really try to do something like that Andy00

for those that have recomended me doing my ascii os with with C, i have tried to learn that but i am only 13 so QBASIC was hard enought. Also at first I was going to call it AscOS but now i decided on IWOS (internal windows operating system)

i dunno wether u guys are serious about this OS but I have treid programming a text editor with QBASIC and it did not comeout very good, nm a word processor

Lotus 123 was a good ascii spreadsheet. So don't think it is impossible. What you need to do is make components like first a function that draws a box then one that does a menu. The little icons and things that make up a modern GUI are called widgets. Make a set of functions that can do widget stuff Text box Button Radio button check box Combo box List box Scroll bars Labels etc etc When you have all these functions your program can just call them and draw them to the screen easier. addMenu ( "File", "Edit", "Attach" ) AddLabel (2,3, "Subject" ) Addtextbox ( 10,3 ) ExecuteGUI Do you now about event driven stuff? Most GUI's are event driven. The programs draw their window then tell the GUI to run. The GUI monitors events and when say a button is clicked it passes stuff back to the program. This is easy in C but not so in other languages but it can be done. You can also implment multitasking. If you have any questions about this stuff just ask me. See the ascii attack game on my webpage. Personally I would want it in colour but purists say ASCII is mono chrome. Richard :) -- Will kill for Documentation.

Get cygwin, forgot URL but its probably something like www.cygwin.org ... that has pretty much everything that exists for Unix/Linux compiled for Windows, and gives u a complete Unixlike environment on Windows.
