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. |
