Well, I'm sure this idea is pretty old, but think of this: an operating system, similar to either Unix or Windows, but in ROBLOX. I think it would be really cool once we have some form of database manipulation.

I'm gonna start with a plain "file system". Then, something similar to DOS. After I get that worked out, I'll see where it goes.

Right now, I have the base for the file system, some display functions, some bare-bones server stuff, and a few basic interface items.

Like I always say... any suggestions/ideas/things to avoid?

I like the word ROS.

What would you actually do in it though?

@Brandonhare
"Download" programs, surf the "web", do text processing, write programs in the OS shell, and do *hopefully* anything that you can do in a normal OS. But of course, most of the functionality will come when we get databases.

Yeah but when you leave the server you lose everything and it would probably be better to just use your computer.
Also lag.

I mean it's cool and you should make it, it's just that I wouldn't see any use for it personally.

That's why I need databases.

"Also lag."

Naw, as long as you have at least 512 MB of RAM, you should be fine.

We'll live. I'll just make it so much better than a normal OS that... err... people will use it instead of their normal PC?

Naw, that's overkill. I just thought it would be fun.

My guess is that you decided to make this because you got angry at your computer? =D

It would only really work if they made a decent text box gui item.

Sounds like my plan for RoPhone.

Once you do this I have some money-making schemes we can implement.

Once you get it working, I can make it pretty. I'm pretty good at making cool GUI animations and effects.

Well I've already started working on this, and @Taslem, I've already made a roPhones of sorts, I just haven't felt the need to make it more advance. It's dirty, but if you want it, you can have it.

Sounds decent, but isn't this fairly close to the other in-game browsers?

Maybe you should add a notepad/word processor into it. That would be neat.
