I'm not sure but, is that a window having exactly the same titlebar as the gray theme in Windows XP? Cause if you're using that in your OS, that isn't exactly legal, I believe. Other than that, it looks like you've come a long way, nice work!

last time I checked (granted, I'm not a lawyer), implementing a design that is based-off another design and the result is similar is not illegal. Now, if he copy/pasted the source code or the images themselves and used them, that would be illegal as that would be stealing of protected works.

Well those look pretty damn copy and pasted so I'd say it'd be seriously illegal (and painful if Micro$oft found out.)

Other than that, nifty OS! Makes me with I had SDL support and a DOOM port!

The desktop environment is ported from xynth.

That one, however, looks really legal and really kewl. All it needs is some transparency or something like this: Note the darkening in colour between where the title is and the buttons on the right side.

And for the bottom bar: Note the slight darkening in colour as well.

Thanks,I have updated the iso image.
It looks very good, However, It may have to achieve some time.

Port ZDooM/GZDooM/Skulltag/Doomsday/Chocolate DooM/...?

Know any that are written in 16-bit assembly?

EDIT: to clarify, I'm looking for a 16-bit assembly DooM, not a 16-bit assembly game of any kind. I'm really a FPS fanatic.

There was no 16-bit version of "DooM", it's a 32-bit program.. even the DOS version had to use a DOS extender.

The original version of Wolfenstein 3D was for 16-bit DOS, go play with that.

Ahh, Wolf3D... such a fun game...

Great work, that looks like a very advanced OS compared to most of the ones here!

To be honest, I like the original look better. Maybe if the start and end colours weren't so different (subtle is good), and if it was a vertical gradient instead of a horizontal one.

Do some research on ray casting (very simple technique used for rendering early one vertical level 3d games) and the Doom file format. You won't have any gameplay or AI, but you'll be able to walk around the doom map and have access to all the Doom map tools and implement your own game on top of that!
