The 3rd and final new feature added to my retro webos is a mini retro snake game with “New game” and “Full screen” buttons along with simple instructions on how to play. Its not too impressive to be honest and the styling could be better but i thought it would be good to add a game to the os so it becomes fun to use. let me know what improvements could be made.

I added the Second new feature to Retro WebOS, all notepad and ide files now have a save to documents option which actually stores them in the browsers local storage as well as the file manager where they can be accessed at any time!

Back working on new features for Retro WebOS, Sadly i spent so long coding new startup and switch off animations but you can still see the desktop for a few milliseconds while its switching on and off.

I plan on trying to fix this but i might just give up and call it a day

The year is 1998.

You’ve just turned on your computer, the CRT monitor flickers to life, and RetroOS loads.

I built RetroOS as a little experiment to recreate what using a computer around 1998 might have felt like. What started as a simple HTML project slowly turned into a full retro desktop with draggable windows, a Start menu, taskbar, Notepad, file explorer, IDE, fake internet browser, and even a power button.

The hardest part was getting everything to work together, especially making the windows behave properly without constantly overlapping or breaking.

What I’m most proud of is that it feels less like a webpage and more like an actual little computer.

You’ll find:

  • A mini internet explorer
  • A built in working IDE
  • A file explorer
  • A working notepad
  • A readme.txt file to help you navigate the OS
  • Desktop icons for the applications
  • A volume control bar
  • A power button
  • The time(if you need it i guess)

Enjoy!
