OS Simulation

[z_cross_fire]

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 ).

Try it out, and tell me what you think.

not bad, actually pretty nifty, I wanna know how you did that text to voice thing though.

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
...looking forward to updates.

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.

Thank you; and here's the text-to-speech code similar to the "Speak" button:

VisualBASIC:

Dim speech As System.Object speech = CreateObject("sapi.spvoice") speech.speak("Hi, Mirhagk!")          'Speaking the text...

Much appreciated!

- 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.
- 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

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

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

- I tried checking some text files for the password but grew bored
-As for the dialog box, it just flashes several times when asking to exit so I can see OK and Cancel but not the text itself (probably an issue on my end though)

I'm actually going on vacation right now, but I have created a scripted assembly-like lagnague and I am just working on a GUI now.

Gotcha! It probably cannot load some part of the form. Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks --> The only one for this I have on the form is a dotted line. I'm gonna delete it, and then create an update.

The pass isn't stored inside any file. It is built into the program

I would like to know if any other people get this too.

That just passed over my head (I don't know VB) but looking forward to the update!

Yup, it's only a problem on my old XP computer though

[z_cross_fire]

A small update...

- "Guess Number" GUI was slightly modified.
- Updating system modified.
- Online Messaging system modified.
- A small game was added.

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]

Oops....I forgot to make a small change to the version number.
Do this to fix the error after downloading the above update:

Go to...
BOS Files\System Files\Program Files\v.txt
Change the 1 to 2, and save it.

I will be waiting for an official patch from the OS making company since I, the general user, am too noob to understand the above (and don't want to get ripped off by some technician)

[z_cross_fire]

Lol, ok. Updated here only, not on the website...

[ProgrammingFun]

It would be cool if your OS could check for, and update itself

[z_cross_fire]

I am not so good, but I'll still give it a try...
