So what exactly would be the purpose of this game? I know it says that it’ll be able to save data, but what kind of data?
Is the data just random files that the user can create for their own uses (like jotting down notes or making a template of some sort)? Or will it be for practicing with different types of programming languages, like Python or Java, and saving those programs in the game itself?
The game will save say all the files on the drive. The main system files (which are local scripts) are just saving with a 48 bit id as you cannot edit the source of a script with a plugin, though I compensate for the extra data by adding the length of characters of the script to the saved file. I do have vague plans of making a code interpreter for the player, and already have a minor system instruction interpreter which I will probably explain how to write code on it in a post in the main thread. Other data besides Local Scripts are saved as string values, which the programs write / read from. In addition I do have some events / remote events which also store in a way. For storing the data, the operating system will personally send the data that should be saved to the memory to the memory “device”. This means that there could be multiple possibilities in the way your data will be stores (larger, smaller, etc). To answer your main question, the main purpose of the game is to make a quote on quote mock operating system. I hope I explained that well enough.

This looks cool. I’ve made a directory system similar to this.
