## Status

### Last version

0.4

**PineOS** is a simulated operating system created by DaveTheBaby made in Scratch which is mildly popular on TikTok due to the simulated operating system having a TikTok account named Pineconium.

It uses the Acorn Engine but for PineOS 0.4, it uses a new custom engine called PEF.

## Development History

PineOS was first called "Project Pine" during the concept phase but was actually gonna be called "PineOS". It was planned to be like Iceland OS.

The Prototype build was made on Jul 30th 2022 with PineOS 0.0.01 being release in public alpha for Scratch users.

Version 0.0.02 was the first version of PineOS to be ported on to Windows users as an 'offline' version. It was a bit feature limited and was a "demo".

Version 0.1 was the first beta version of PineOS.

Version 0.4 is going to be redone from scratch, meaning PineOS will have a different engine (called "xpressUI") and a new look. Similar to the post-reset builds of Longhorn. This means no more Acorn Engine. To make PineOS more faster and better, PineOS 0.4 will be using Simux 10.

### The *Pineconium* versions

On January 20th 2023, PineOS 0.4's January 20th Build was available for beta testing as *Pineconium* (a nod to Chromium, but with pine cones), these versions were not available on Scratch, rather you had to download them though PineOS's website.

Currently, there is one Pineconium build out there, but there are more builds coming.

### The Split-off Updates

in PineOS 0.4, the simu was planned to be split into two versions, called 'Basic' and 'Extended' editions.

The 'Basic' edition will be exclusive to Scratch, and will not have any of the Extended features (such as Canvas, File Saver and Host Information). However people how want to use the Basic Edition can get unique features such as VSD support (see here for more information) and Wallpaper Scripts.

The 'Extended' edition was gonna be for the itch.io releases of PineOS, but was delayed to 0.5. You'll get access to more features such as Canvas, File Saver and Host Information applets. However Import Features will be limited on the Extended Edition, meaning no Wallpaper Scripts or custom music.

But Extended users can use any image as a wallpaper using an applet called URLify, which you can *save* to PineOS via the pStore. URLify will let users use any valid image URL as a wallpaper. However we do recommend that the image is 480x360 pixels or you'll get a white border around the image.

### Scrapped One Year Special Edition

To celebrate the one year anniversary of PineOS, there would be a special edition called PineOS AlphaBeta's, which would be a modified version of PineOS 0.2.x, using the same engine as that.

## Features

PineOS comes with many features, such as a Text to Speech feature which allows the user to repeat (almost) anything you want! Similar to the Text To Speech feature is a Text to MIDI feature (called "textSong"), which converts text into random music notes. The more characters your text has, the longer it will be.

There are more features like Capybarweba, which is a web browser that made it's debut in Iceland OS Rewritten, and has an Android version (which works as a real web browser)

There also exists a unique key combo known as the `Print` key, which can be done by mashing both `Space` and `Enter` keys.

As of 0.3, there are lots of new features, such as Free Games 2022 being renamed to Petagame, and a new taskbar. Capybarweba still is in PineOS but may not have a few changes.

PineOS 0.4 is going to have a dump-truck loads of features, with more for the desktop version of PineOS, as that version will use the Extended edition of PineOS.

## Mascot

The mascot of PineOS is called Pino, she's a brown cat with a pinecone at the end of her tail. She also has a collar with the PineOS logo on it.

There also exists a PineOS-tan, which is basically your regular OS tan based on a simu.
