I must be stupid or something, I don't know. I am a newbie, and while I have some good ideas for the layout's for various programs, I do not understand the technical part. I must be stupid because I can't seem to learn certain parts of Qbasic. Too bad I couldn't have my personal tutor. Anyway could someone please explain simple graphics too me, I tries what one of the tutorials said and even the example code they used would not work. Please teach me simple graphics, and explain arrays, and sprites too me!! I guess not everyone can be a programmer. Like I said I am good at computers and program design and layout, but I don't understand when it comes to the actual "programming" part of it. I even have a layout and design of my own OS, but the problem is putting it in code. Anway enough chit chat, I need some advice and some answers.
Well,U wanted to make an OS....
it's very hard...
and u should make some more *simpler* programs before
and there are lots of tutorials on
www.petesqbsite.com
check it out first and then may be u can try it...

and yeah
also check out Seb McClouth's Qbinux!
It is great work in making an OS...
and check it out at

Um. ok.. How do you install his so called OS. I mean I had good designs of how one would be layed out, but after that, I'm done.
Do you honestly have any idea what you're talking about? Don't bother lying, if you have anything to say, say it now or I suggest just stop talking about it, everyone here has seen a million people come and go claiming they had plans for / were building an OS.
It's so god damn old already! :crying:
@zwillis091:
I have a strong feeling by "layed out" you mean "The toolbar goes here... and the window goes here... under the title bar"... If that's what you mean, than you have no reason to go talking about making an OS. An OS is a lot more complex than that. If you reeeeally wanted to make an OS from scratch you'd also have to write the controls for the monitor.. hell, write the controls for printing the letter "A" to the buffer. You'd have to write your own code to get data off a floppy.. (no more opening a file from A:.. A: is windows).. you need your own keyboard routines.. mouse.. everything. That is an OS. If you are talking about having some windows and being able to move them around.. and have some sort of scripting language to control them, that's a fakeOS. It runs on top of a real OS.
bleh...

Ive got a spare bedroom free. :mrgreen:
And on top of that to make a REAL os,YOu will need to learn ASM
Without it,it is not possible to make even a fakeOS
And you don't just need graphics and things "Layed out"
you need to learn many things basically ASM and some basic commands like RMDIR,KILL...(but u can do without them if u know asm)
If you use KILL for example you are using MSDOS.
This is the 129902384029384th time I write this: QB executables run on top of MSDOS thus you won't be able to create an OS in QB. You can create a shell for MSDOS, that's all.
