Can you get the blue screen of death? Can you beat the painful virus hidden in another program? Can you complete the ritual?
That, and more, is right here, in picOS 2.0!
This is a sequel to my previous (and not very good) adventure into a desktop-like thing: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=43948.
I completely redid everything, and although not super optimized , it works okay, and has some secrets and easter eggs.
If you want to make a program for it, here is the cartridge:
There are some more instructions in the code on how to do it.
Just to clarify @Munchkin, in your Text Typer you can pause your text entry by HOLDING down the P key for about a second. That forces the pause to appear.
@dw817 Yeah, I know, its fine because I disabled it normally so it doesn't pause when you're trying to type normally.
I was stating earlier that you can indeed also recognize the ESC key for an online cart if you choose to add that to your arsenal of input, @Munchkin.
I also noticed you had some tunes in your repertoire. I don't think anyone has made a song including the memorable 4-notes that you get with the Pico-8 boot.
If you're musically inclined, you would be the first. :)
@dw817 Ah, ok.
I am not very musically inclined, and am confused: which song used the booting jingle? I don't think any of them used C G C F in a row, and I can't audibly hear a similarity.
Nono, @Munchkin, I am SUGGESTING you write a song using those opening 4-notes. No-one has done so yet. Especially if you change their pitch during the song.
We Piconians are so familiar with that little opening, to hear a song written around it would be something quite incredible.
Heck I already wrote a song in my head around the notes the little cash-register makes at Dollar Tree makes when the correct amount is given. :)

@dw817 Oh, good idea. I could add another song in an update perhaps, though it would also be a challenge to make it good in the 15 sfx sequences I have left.
