A mockup for an upcoming rewrite of Scratch OS 3.21 Technical Preview build 9909.685, written in C and Assembly, in an effort to perfectly recreate it as faithfully as possible, but run on real hardware and have far more functionality than its scratch counterpart could ever be. since the old scratch os is just fun and games, and I still want to be able to use this for normal purposes, I've made a special mockup that I'll recreate into the actual OS later for a mode that lets me access tools needed for "work" and serious activities. /// FUNCTIONALITY: Red MacOS Orb at the top left corner closes all apps. Some (but very few) apps have a dedicated close button, but most ones close buttons won't work. they'll show but still not work, you can only use the close all apps button Titlebar located on the top of the Scratch 0.3 Wallpaper - Titlebar "Menu" opens return to desk and other desk versions in a context menu type thing - Titlebar "New" opens new Windows 11 Notepad window - Titlebar "Open" opens the run dialog Control located ontop of stage - Controls Mouse changes the cursor - Controls Stamp opens MS Paint - [TBA] Controls Scissors opens snipping tool - Controls Photo Frame opens Aseprite - [TBA] Controls Question Mark opens DOOM - Purple Star opens Music Player - green Start button opens Winword - [TBA] red Stop button opens PowerPoint The some programs shelf on the desktop: [NOT IMPLEMENTED YET] The green square with the text "desk" in it opens the lower desk: A reorganized, reimagination of Desk 1, but fitted to the work desk The button with the green :D is the assistant, Scratch Assistant: In beta,will show you how to navigate on Scratch OS once finished. Assistant takes a second to answer questions. desktop icons: The exclamation mark icon under "Save Sprite" is the system info button. The cat with a globe on its head is Internet / Scratch Internet Pressing the go button in internet returns invalid url, and nothing else is really functional since its a mockup the red square is the Poinless button that has a point (yes it's canonically spelled poinless): it's secretly the Kernel Breaker: Breaks your kernel and you have to restart the PC. The smiley face emoji is the Email button, nothing inside it is functional yet The grey square with a question mark is the Mystery button: "YOU DID IT!" Clicking the cat on the stage opens the Scratch Archive: a program that lets you use all the old versions of scratch within the OS Taskbar: The search bar next to the start orb doesn't work yet The taskbar notepad icon opens the notepad (not functional yet) Taskbar Paint opens Paint 32 The sound button opens the sound flyout with a draggable knob (doesnt affect volume yet) Clock takes a bit to initialize Start Menu: - (this is on the top of the startmenu) Start Menu Bevel Button opens OLD Browser - (this is on the top of the startmenu) Start Menu "Real Menu" button opens regular Scratch OS Start Menu for additional functionality if needed (not functional here but it is functional in the real system) - Shutdown is pretty self-explanatory - Start Menu add your own info opens ScrVer - Start Menu program ontop of add your own info opens Rohan Basic IDE (not working yet) - Start Menu program ontop of Rohan Basic IDE opens ScratchGPT - Start Menu program ontop of ScratchGPT opens Calculator (not working yet) ///NEXT UP FOR V4: - Taskbar Search Bar - Lower Desk - PowerPoint - Snipping Tool - DOOM - Scratch Archive
Currently 48 days into the actual rewrite, fixing a lot of memory usage errors and corruption (hell) Credit to MicroslopWindowsUser + A300Scratch for the assistant icon, run dialog, revamps of classic Scratch OS Functionality, and a bunch of other things (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1305522059/)
