Launch Experiment
Slow? Not Working? Try it in Google Chrome.
From the Author:
It's a full javascript (~3000 lines of code) remake of the classic Amiga's operating system "Workbench 1.3".
You can change resolution, color, font, wallpaper, move icons, open/resize windows, launch several little visuals effects.
Also the "CLI" (command manager) is working, you can access all the different command by typing "command" at the prompt.
I hope you will like it !
Technology:
Only handmade javascript and heavy DOM manipulation

Reply to this commentWill someone try doing an Atari 400/800/XL/ST. If you can then get it to play games, like Srar Raders that came with Atari 8 bit Computers (the first 3D space simulator in 4K of code. I miss the game, PC versions are so complex.

Reply to this commentBack when we had DOS I didn't know of any multitasking OS except Windows and Mac System 7.
Reply to this commentAs a long time Amiga user this brings a lot of memories back. Way back when the PC was just DOS we had a multitasking OS. I miss the "Guru Meditation" messages!
Reply to this commentTravail exceptionnel! Respect!
Reply to this commentHiya!
Did you know that this works nicely on AmigaOS4.1 with Origyn Web Browser? (I type this on chiptune.com inside your Chrome experimatal window...;-))
Nice to see a AmigaOS1.3 "emulation" running on a real AmigaOS4.x system...excellent work!!!
Reply to this commentHo! :D
Is it possible to send me a screenshot of your AmigaOS 4 with chiptune.com loaded in your browser? I REALLY want to see that :D
Btw, on wich type of computer do you run the AmigaOS4 ? A "normal" PC ?
Reply to this commentwas super, but ... There are a lack of
Reply to this commentWOW!!! Excellent work!! Amazed with it just being Javascript!
By the way.. Has anyone noticed the red/white bouncing ball behind the main screen?? SUPER!!!
Reply to this commentNS: you mean automatically ? without clicking on anything ?
Btw, don't be afraid, there's ABSOLUTELY NOT virus on my zip files :)
Reply to this commentSo, why, when I visit this application, it downloads a file to my computer from ftp://ftp.untergrund.net/users/rez/updates/? It's especially disturbing considering some of the file names in the compressed folder.
Reply to this commentthank
Reply to this commentIt's amazing! My only wish: To be able to download it on Mac! Also, I have one problem, the Shadow of the Beast controls don't work for me. But I'm using Safari on a Mac, so that could be the problem.
Reply to this commentI was one of the first Amiga users in Belgium. I used to develop software for it. A pity it didn't survive.
Your programme sure brings back may happy memories!
Reply to this commentOMFG! That is so amazing. "Sob" Had every Amiga they made. What a great computer for its time. Now, if only you could figure out a way to run Deluxe Paint on my iMac, life would be great.
Reply to this commentRun Mac UAE. Or go to low end Mac and get ont he MacUAE list. Or if it is an Intel run UAE for Windows. All sorts of ways.

Reply to this commentamazing. brilliant recreation. I didn't truly grok the brilliance of it until I clicked scanlines, and remembered interlace mode ...
Reply to this commentLove the contents of the trashcan! LOL

Reply to this commentVery nice. Obviously you've spent a lot of time :^) some good memories there lol
Reply to this commentYep, a LOT of time spent :)
It I was done during a long period, so it wasn't too boring to do :)
In fact that website is my personal javascript laboratory where I test every new JS tricks :)
Reply to this commentincredibly insane! even the guru med thing is there...
only the copper effect is not as nice as I remembered.
keep it up
Reply to this commentthis is horrible
Reply to this commentAnyone in the know wouldn't say this - if you even existed back when the Amiga ruled the world you would know that the Amiga was **the** computer - an amazing feat of technology!
Reply to this commentNo, its AMAZING.
Amiga was one of the BEST operating systems.
You try writing something THIS advanced.

Reply to this commentDude! That's beautiful; I wish I had your talent :(
Reply to this commentThis is the javascript project of my dreams, wish I had pulled this off. Love everything about it.
Reply to this commentI tried this in Firefox first. It worked extremely fine.
Then I tried it in Chrome, and none of the code executed. It popped up a web page with a resizable text box at the top. I accidentally right-clicked on the window, and it gave me a red box centered around where I clicked....which I remembered from the Firefox experience meant that the program had crashed, so I went ahead and left-clicked to restart the application, hoping it would also reboot the entire page (and hopefully work correctly), and it just turned the page area blank (black) again.
Reply to this commentHi!
Thank for trying my Chrome Experiment :)
In fact, I posted this example a little bit early because it works *FINE* under Chrome 2.0.xx but do not launch with Chrome 1.x, so if you want to see it under Chrome you need to install the current beta 2.xx version of Chrome :)
Reply to this commentAmazing piece of code, dude. Why you dont choose OOP for this project?
Reply to this commentBecause I'm too "oldskool" for OOP :D
In fact it started as really small piece of code and evolved a lot since the past three years, a never take time to rewrite everything using OOP...
Reply to this commentReally cool. However, if i try download the experiment locally on my computer and run it, does not run. Is there a reason for not to be able to save it locally?
Reply to this commentSince it's a complete website, it need some database access to display (for example) directory list, etc...
Sorry!
Reply to this commentits very good
Reply to this commentthis is a little off topic, but Google should design it's own Operating System!
Reply to this commentindeeed!! :DDD
Reply to this commentHeck, they should make Google Chrome it's own OS! Tabs for different apps could replace the taskbar, they could do away with the "Start" button and other junk and have a default desktop similar Chrome's homepage, with your 9 most used apps, recently closed apps, app history...the whole thing would be as fast as lightning too! Wouldn't it be awesome? :D
Reply to this commentwhere do u think it's heading with Gears etc.... It's ALREADY an OS. They'll just quietly keep adding desktop apps until SHEBANG - gudby MS!
Reply to this commentI think that 's exactly Google's aim, i.e., to create an online OS.
Reply to this commentIt's extremely ironic that they just announced Chrome OS...
Reply to this commentjust try http://91.132.157.103/porcupine.py
login using demo demo and see what www.innoscript.org is all about...
Reply to this commentYeah it's nice too :)
But don't forget that I havn't used ANY existing javascript library to do my website ;)
Reply to this commentWorks great in Safari 4 Beta :)

Reply to this commentIt doesn't work in chrome.. and it brings me to a website named chiptune.com.
What is an Amiga? Is it like OSX?
Reply to this commentNo, it is NOT like OsX.
It is BEFORE OsX.
But yes, it is an operating system.
Reply to this commentIt's another Web OS!! I love it! lol

Reply to this commenthow do you control that twist v.3 app? It doesn't seem to be working in both FF and Chrome...

Reply to this commentI love the Boing ball behind the Workbench. --Nice touch!
Reply to this commentGoogle Chrome = Operating System
Reply to this commentWell, it is now. Chrome OS was announced a few days ago on the Google Blog.
Reply to this commentI hope not, it makes me shiver just to think about it
Reply to this commentIt makes me happy to see that others are coming to this conclusion :)
Reply to this commentplease tell me that the juggler is a looping precomputed animation and not some archane raytracing amiga thing lol
Reply to this commentThis guy is not juggling correctly...
Reply to this commentYes, of course it's a looping precalculated animation :)
Perhaps one day we will be able to do (not too slow) raytracing in javascript :)
Reply to this commentCheck out the ray tracing example on the chrome experiments home page!
Reply to this commentI'm in the process of making a 3D FPS using JavaScript and canvas. Raytracing is possible in JS :)
Reply to this commentThis demo is totally wicked!
Reply to this commentBeautiful!!! I still have my original Amiga and it still works!!! it was a wonderful machine. Just too good for it's time. Thanks for a great experiment and bringing back the memories
Reply to this commentSuperb!
No words to explain!!!!!!!

Reply to this commentNow it works, it wouldent work in Chrome 1.
