It will feature several UI Changes such as the login screen, boot screen, etc. Development will start April 11, 2011, but for the time being, we will need the following people to help with this project.

More ideas would be helpful:)

what OS is it based on? Windows? Ubuntu? Mac OS X? ETC...

I think he's saying he's modding a video game, (Portal, in this case,) to create an operating system... I once had that idea with Pokemon, but never actually did it...

Is that possible... ?
If so it'd be an OS, e.g. Windows that has Portal open on boot and then shuts down when that closes, then sysprepped and put in a wim.

No, I'm thinking it'd be more like using actual parts of the game to "make up" various parts of an OS.

But what do I know? Let;s wait for PortalCake to say how he/she's doing it.

dont be daft , its not a game styled like an OS , its and OS styled like a game ....

Yeah, it is an OS styled like a game. Here is one screen of a mod I will implant:
PS: One more is coming!

PortalCake? theportalguy LOL

lol, confusion.

Well, I thought it was, as he said, "OS based on a game." I thought, "based on," in the technical sense... as it was built off of it.

Hey, theoretically, it could be possible, so I didn't think, "no that can't be."

Okay, I have found one more mod to implant:

PS: Anyone interested in helping?

I AM A FAN OF PORTAL!!!!!

Yeah, I WOULD REALLY LIKE to help!!

Great! You are in! I will have a site for this soon!

Doing it wrong? Maybe.
For starters, use WinOCM's BootAnim.sys to set the bootscreen to the screensaver found on ASEC terminals.
Login screen: use the same concept differently, a yellow on brown screen with ascii.

Desktop: Go wild, use ASEC related icons.

To put it simply, the OS should go with one of these: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1244054 and look exactly like the one in the game.

haha 'Aperture Science Computer User Name'! Nice touch, I can see 'Aperture Science Computer Aided Paint Tool'

The site is almost complete. Any other ideas for ApertureOS? I was thinking about changing what it said in the Command Prompt, although, I'm not quite sure how to change it from "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.0.2600). Any more ideas?

Reshack cmd.exe, it's there.

Also, you can ask WinOCM(Kenneth) for BootAnim.sys and the required reg file.

Great! Thanks for your help!

PS: The site is up! Tell me what you think!

Forum is good, but homepage needs more Aperture colors, blue, orange (remember orange color on displays, when you escape from GLaDOS; also in ending credits).

Also, that Made on a Mac.

Okay, I will work on that. PS: Anyone can sign up!

Website is down and PortalOS sounds great! I can't wait to beta test it!

I would also like to help with Graphics Design
And testing of course
It's a great idea imo!

Great. I will PM you the details of what you can do as soon as I can. PS: Welcome to the project
