Concepts for 2.0

This information may be outdated, since there is going to be a NEW site for the Dapwin Project. Sorry for the inconvience, the link to the new site will be put in place of this sentence when I finish it.

 

Dapwin OS+ 2.0.0 has got a game plan. The plan will unfold once Scratch 2.0 comes out. That is when it will begin to be developed.

So I am not taking suggestions anymore because I am tired of putting up forums and not getting any. But I am going to tell you what will be in it.

First of all, there will be a well-done graphical system. The colors will be better. It will adopt the format of Windows Media Center : All applications will be launched in a full screen launcher, then ran outside of the launcher onto it’s own desktop. You will not, however, be able to do multitasking. That is beyond even Scratch 2.0

Second, I will be adding a social network client that will be available ONLY through Dapwin OS+. The name will be called Talksy. It will have administrator controls, Private Messaging, public chatting, themes identical to the themes of Dapwin OS+ 2.0.0, blocking, reporting, groups, and it will beat Facebook and Google+ because it won’t be a giant advertisement. Personally, unless people ask for it, there will not be a “People you may Know” button. Seriously. The “People you may Know” list gets in the way. Besides, if you are using our software, you shouldn’t get advertisements.

Third, I will be adding themes to it. You will be able to switch through these themes. I will probably ship the 2.0.0 version with Crystal Blue, Ruby Red, and Emerald Green. These may be buggy but I’ll still try to do it. It will not work with external software unless they program it to do so.

I will NOT be using motion recognition; it is way too buggy and in development for me to actually get practical navigation and commands out of that feature. Plus, it won’t have hand/finger x&y and gestures. So just so you know : IT’S NOT HAPPENING!

Okay, as we all know the boot screens are lame, the menus don’t look realistic, all of that. That is the goal of 2.0.0 – to start over. It will be achieved and it will be so awesome.

There are also some under-the-hood works going on. I will be adding a REAL boot console made to calculate speeds of the project, testing players, efficiency and more. No more console boot garbage. Also, the tlangster studios splash screen will occur after the initial boot sequence, and then it will have the main boot sequence. That way it is more realistic.

No code is to be ran in the background. Sprites hide, stop moving, and more. Because the lag on the Scratch site is a big limitation and it needs to be fixed and prevented from being a train wreck to Dapwin.

Icons will look like icons, I hope. I may ship with the old icons but I hope I can fix that 🙂 Not good at making Icons so I just used buttons.

It won’t have a name.

Also, I may ship it with an E-Z support application that allows you to submit support questions or bug reports, and look up problems to see if there are fixes. This is all an idea so don’t count on it!!!

Unfortunately, I don’t have permission to develop Dapwin OS+ with the alpha (not public). So I will have to hustle to be able to do this enormous project. Which will contribute to it not coming out so well…
