In use it's like a very clunky menu driven UNIX or DOS system, with some ultra low-res icons, widgets and animations. Comparatively little thought has been directed at ease of use and it looks absolutely awful, with blinking and scrolling text all over the screen like some demented signature from 'the Castle'. No doubt, had he lived and remained relatively focused on development, that would have been addressed, or maybe he'd have grown out of his love of scrolling text. I suppose more time was spent on efficiency and function - it's alleged to make use of individual CPU cores particularly well, for instance. It has a comprehensive editor and a command prompt for C (you can type whole lines of code in for instant compilation), native TempleOS commands, and program names - which will be launched if possible. I launched a couple of games and can confirm that the midi sound accompaniment was really cool. The main stumbling block for evaluating it, is that it only uses 256K for video display, and churns out 640 x 480. I couldn't find any way to adjust this and a bit of reading around suggests there isn't a way yet, especially as God instructed Terry to make it so. Even at my laptop's minimum display of 800 x 600, it's small. At 1920 x 1080 it's smaller than a credit card. I could probably scrunch my display down to 640 x 480 but I can't be bothered. <br /> <br /> Things worked, although I did not know how to work everything, and it appeared to be stable. I won't be replacing any of my Windows or Linux boxes with TempleOS soon.<br /> <br /> Anyway, about that, I've deleted it after getting a message from God on the random message game.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 11 Feb 2020 16:54 by WILLIAMA</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42550.12&return_msg=42550.3" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42550.12"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DEFAULT" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="42550.13" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
