Current release: Alpha R2
It's a windowing system I made. Fairly versatile, doesn't have all the flashy crap LuaX does but I'm tryinng keep it lightweight so I can make a decent OS-like shell with it.

For other people who want to go ooh ahh at it ok that's great and suggestions are welcome.

Progress update as of 6/26/07: Check http://luanux.psptuts.net for info on progress including a wifi system and a keyboard.

Any other lua devs wanting more insight on how it works feel free to ask me and I'll explain more crap than the documentation has if you're interested in making stuff to run inside the windows.

Anyone who want's to do graphics for it feel free to ask and I'll feel free to say no since everything in it except tux's head and the background are generated by the program.

Neat.
Too bad LuaX was canceled, though.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 07:20 PM

Very neat project.

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 07:23 PM

Thanks guys

just so everyone knows:
Suggestions are welcome, I'd like ideas before I get so far into making it stuff gets hard to change.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 07:26 PM

-Add a "My PSP" icon so we can see temp, batt %, etc.
-Make custom themes.

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 07:29 PM

Themes are a matter of editing the settings.txt, mypsp type thing will be a window in the future, although a full themes system would be a good idea

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 07:31 PM

What about a file sharing icon? So you can share files with other user's pf this shell?

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 07:33 PM

Well, I know the wifi functions fairly well, I could probably try something like that, if not I could at least make an application manager that lets you go online and DL applications for the shell

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 07:36 PM

Yea, Like a check for updates feature.

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 07:38 PM

Or something like Ubuntu's built in package manager and updates could be done as well. Probably be added over the next few releases,

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 07:39 PM

What about a internet browser made in LUA?

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 07:42 PM

(youresam is working on a real one, thats like way out of my league/care to figure out how to do limit)

A text-based browser is quite possible but one that renders stuff probably won't come from me.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 07:43 PM

What about a video player?

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 07:44 PM

In lua? Yea ****ing right.

**Adiuvo** · 05-27-2007, 07:44 PM

Nice job

Will be looking forward to a release.

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 07:45 PM

Thanks adiuvo!

*is working on stuff as we spe-post on this forum*

**youresam** · 05-27-2007, 07:45 PM

Tactical, in case you didn't notice, Anti-QJ is just trying to spam your thread, just ignore him and he might shut up.
Oh, and that web browser is on extreme hiatus.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 07:48 PM

I'm giving suggestions.

Anyways, I meant to integrate a video playing functions into the lua eboot itself.

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 07:49 PM

Meh, he WAS giving me ideas until he said video player.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 07:50 PM

Don't you know C++?

I could have sworn you do?

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 07:56 PM

Nope. I see no reason to learn C++ when everything I've wanted to do with programming can be done with Lua. And memory management seems tedious to me.

**youresam** · 05-27-2007, 08:06 PM

VIDEO CANT BE DONE IN LUA PLAYER.
END OF STORY.

k

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 08:09 PM

^yea basically.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 08:10 PM

I kind of figured that one out right now

**PSPJunkie_** · 05-27-2007, 08:11 PM

Looks good. Glad to see you kept developing it for a few months (Weeks, maybe? I don't remember when you sent it to me)

Spoiler for For TP Only:

**Anti-QuickJay** · 05-27-2007, 08:13 PM

LMAO you use ubuntu!

**TacticalPenguin** · 05-27-2007, 08:17 PM

Actually PSPJ I ditched that old shell, it was screwed from the start. I started this about 21 hours ago. Lol

**youresam** · 05-27-2007, 08:28 PM

Collaborative threading?

**PSPJunkie_** · 05-27-2007, 08:41 PM

I don't use ubuntu. :/

Well, that works too, TP.

**EminentJonFrost** · 05-27-2007, 09:17 PM

impressive TP... but whats the point to having a windowing system really?

-lua cant multitask
-psp cant handle very much
-knowing that, lowser's system seems like the best solution. run one app, have a quick exit, and launch another.

i dont mean to put this project down but... it just looks to me like this wouldnt be efficient.
