RobloxOS: A Modern and open source operating system within Roblox

It’s uhhhh… Luau-like? Idk it’s entirely made on Roblox. I mean the core of the operating system is keyboard based just like any other but instead of C it’s Luau

Cool project! You should make a github repo for it so it’s easy for other people to contribute

There’s still should be some of virtualized environment i think, for a complete OS to run within

Luau is a VM inside Roblox’s C++ compiler after all

Yeah, but can you like malloc, free? Or write to a specific address in memory using Luau?

wth is malloc? I am not bill gates that made windows when he was 16 lol

Allocates size bytes of uninitialized storage.

If allocation succeeds, returns a pointer that is suitably aligned for any object type with fundamental alignment.

I’m not adding that much complexity onto RobloxOS. If you want to you can clone the source on the Roblox page for RobloxOS and do it there.

This is really cool. Can’t wait to see how far this progresses once you bring in more features.

The next obvious step is to make a real Linux-based distro. Best of luck!

Yeah! The project is open source and you can do anything you want to it. I just need to make a GitHub repo but in the meantime you can already make modifications to it

UPDATE!!!

New GitHub Repository!
shakezineo/RobloxOS: The new open source Roblox operating system (github.com)

There you can contribute and learn how to make apps or games for RobloxOS.

note: i don`t know fully how Github repositories work so help is appreciated

are you able to make it compatible with user made apps? aka like a game library where theres a built in game engine in it aka just a roblox studio knock off inside of it and you let other people upload their games into the database?

That would be nice! A great idea. But I don’t really know how to remake the Roblox engine inside itself. But if someone does know :eyes:

Unless you convince them to port their stupid anticheat which they won’t even port to Linux, no unfortunately.

But this is made in Roblox. It’s not a Linux distro

Honestly, I’m impressed! I’m also making an OS, but this one is way out of this world! Nice job! Hopefully more games use this!

by the engine i meant something like retro studio or something and then you can upload your game to the databse if that helps you understand
