----------------------------------- z_cross_fire Mon Jun 27, 2011 8:45 pm OS Simulation ----------------------------------- I just thought about sharing my computer science final project (from last year) which was made in Vb 2008. The program is a simulation of an OS. Since I had nothing to do now, I just pulled this out, made a few changes, and uploaded it. Also, if you find any bugs or problems, just tell me and I will be happy to fix them. I know there are a lot of bugs in some parts of the program (just need to make a to-do list :wink: ). Try it out, and tell me what you think. :D ----------------------------------- mirhagk Mon Jun 27, 2011 9:22 pm RE:OS Simulation ----------------------------------- not bad, actually pretty nifty, I wanna know how you did that text to voice thing though. ----------------------------------- ProgrammingFun Mon Jun 27, 2011 9:30 pm Re: OS Simulation ----------------------------------- Pretty good simulation! Problems: Guess Number doesn't work What is the Admin Password? The GUI looks a little old (doesn't it) The exiting dialog box disappears Other than that, I enjoyed the program :D ...looking forward to updates. ----------------------------------- mirhagk Mon Jun 27, 2011 9:38 pm RE:OS Simulation ----------------------------------- I've actually always wanted to create a pseudo-OS like this, in XNA using circle menus (which have been proven to be both faster and more accurate) Then the OS could be used on the Xbox360, and I wanted to even throw in a code interpreter so that people could install applications in this OS. ----------------------------------- z_cross_fire Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:28 pm Re: RE:OS Simulation ----------------------------------- not bad, actually pretty nifty, I wanna know how you did that text to voice thing though. Thank you; and here's the text-to-speech code similar to the "Speak" button: Dim speech As System.Object speech = CreateObject("sapi.spvoice") speech.speak("Hi, Mirhagk!") 'Speaking the text... Pretty good simulation! Much appreciated! Pretty good simulation! Problems: Guess Number doesn't work What is the Admin Password? The GUI looks a little old (doesn't it) The exiting dialog box disappears - Could you tell me what specific part of "Guess No." does not work? - Hehe, it's for me to know, and for you to find out. :P - Yes, I agree. The interface kinda looks dull, but I couldn't have done much about it because of time constraints. (We only got about a month to work on our final projects...) And, changing it now would be a lot of work, considering that I have not used VB for almost a year. - Could you further explain that? Happy to know you liked it! I'll try my best to see what I can do in terms of updates :D P.S. Admins can have access to all the unlocked items. But, I want you guys to actually find the unlockables.

Why don't you make one then? I'll be the first person waiting to try it :D ----------------------------------- ProgrammingFun Tue Jun 28, 2011 6:55 am Re: RE:OS Simulation ----------------------------------- - Could you tell me what specific part of "Guess No." does not work? - Hehe, it's for me to know, and for you to find out. :P - Yes, I agree.

Download it from: http://compsci.webuda.com/ For those that have already downloaded the program, it should tell you to update it. Also if you saved any kind of settings, remember to transfer all your old text files. ----------------------------------- z_cross_fire Tue Jun 28, 2011 8:04 pm RE:OS Simulation ----------------------------------- Oops....I forgot to make a small change to the version number.

And my previous problem with the dialog box is fixed too! Will be waiting for an SDK to make apps for ur OS :P :lol: ----------------------------------- lgadatil Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:21 am Re: OS Simulation ----------------------------------- where can i download your project?? please??
