I have an idea for the goal of AspectOS: What we're trying to do is make the “best, most advanced” OS on Scratch. But I have a better idea. Rather than try and make it look stupendous, or try and add fancy features like 3D or a camera, we should try and make an OS that could be used as a “daily driver” for at least simple office work. Thus we would need these features:

• Multitasking While this seems simple, many Scratch OSes lack the ability to have more than one window on-screen at a time, or even to run an app in the background. This would be important.
  
• Filesystem In addition, we would need to implement a filesystem, so that data is easily stored. We would also have to be able to download it to a real disk for later use.
  
• Apps This is simple, but the inbuilt apps need to be simple and functional. Think stuff along the lines of Notepad and File Explorer; simple, reliable apps that can be used for simple work but aren't the best for specialized stuff.
  
• Programming We need a simple, fast programming language for user-made apps that has first-class access to system utilities.
  
• (EDITED IN) Settings We also need to add settings to control graphic quality, resolution, background processes, etc, to remove lag on low-end systems while allowing for beautiful graphics on higher-end ones.
  
• Special Features If all these needs are met, then we can start adding those special features. Transparency effects. Inbuilt 3D. A music app. A camera. Video games. Controller support. Multi-res support. All those goodies. But only after the previous goals are met. We need to make sure we aren't using too many assets, or causing lag with background processes and subroutines.
  

• Multitasking I mean, why not?
  
• Filesystem Great idea, but can't we back up data to a server? (you can make one yourself, but you need to learn sql and a have paid account)
  
• Apps Can we make a way to fullscreen and minimize apps? Or all windows in that matter.
  
• Programming I made a collab on this.
  
• Settings I like the sound of that!
  
• Special Features Agreed.
  

Servers would be slowwww

Defenitely have resizable and fullscreen. That's why we have my pen window engine.

So how do we make the servers faster?

There's no way to- The maximum (GLOBAL!) bandwidth of the cloud variables is more than 10x slower than the slowest modem you could use with the internet- in 1995! Thus, all the users using it would have to share bandwidth on a network slower than a 28.8.

We might be able to make an online app store, as individual apps would use far less bandwidth (and it isn't a big deal if the server's down…), but something as heavy and as critical as an online storage site would be very slow.

EDIT: A “28.8” was the slowest (may still be) modem usable with the World Wide Web. It's name refers to the fact that it transferred data a 28.8 kilobits per second, or 3.6 kilobytes per second. It connected to WIndows 95-Windows Vista PCs over the serial port.

god that's slow.

The cloud variables have a theoretical maximum of 6800 bits/second without compression; optimizing for text, you get 7680 bits/second; optimizing for pure numbers is the same result

Oh, and its still in stable shape too.
Well, kind of.


Edit: The window will be edited of course when it is put into AspectOS, its just an early beta thing right now and isn't much at all, though, everything on that image is subject to change.

What do you think kkidslogin? Is this good for an early beta?

I should rephrase that
The application ITSELF is in early beta

Once things like the task manager are done, I can do some designing on them to make them more pleasing to the eye, is that ok?

Of course! We should totally make everything neat and pretty for the OS to give off a good impression to the people who will load up the OS on Scratch. Of course, it won't be perfect, but we will try our best to make it the best we can!

It could use some improvement with the art and I could make it smoother. You are using Microsoft Azure I assume?
