GreaseMonkey 7 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Let me make this post readable (no really this looks absolutely awful in my browser - use the "code" tags if you're going to do something like this post): https://gist.github.com/iamgreaser/a8cf17906b0a799851087eed4181ea87 Note, I could only make about a third of it readable as after that point I just gave up where it started to get inconsistent. ---- This is OpenComputers. It is not OpenPCs. Not every computer is a PC. I would say that the computer that most of your friends use all the time does not resemble a PC at all. It's called a "smart phone", or as I like to call it, a "surprisingly fast yet nigh unusable sack of crap that fits in your pocket". What do you expect to be added next, Windows? That will never happen. If any Windows version does get ported it'll be one that you've never used. (Hint, the name will probably end in "for Workgroups".) #1 & #2: There's no need to have a laptop when we already have tablets. What would a laptop even add? You can't really say "this goes faster" - the support isn't there. Even if it was, it's in the CPU, not the case. While having a motherboard might sound intuitive, there's no real need to take this approach when we already have a server rack. #3: Depends on #1. #4: Isn't this assumed to already be part of the case? Really, what does this actually add, other than an unnecessary step? Furthermore, not all computers have fans in them. By the way, what defines a power supply? It provides power. The fan does not define the power supply, and the power supply is not the only thing that can provide a fan. With that said, I'll illuminate the first actually usable idea I've managed to scrape out of here: Idea #1: Make it possible for components to get hot, and to provide ways to cool components. The best punishment for this for a Lua CPU would be to make the CPU skip ticks. For a more conventional CPU you could slow down reads/writes. #5 & #6: #6 is redundant and really should be part of #5. #5 has been proposed before. It's also something I would benefit from (the Linux kernel isn't small). Either way, I might as well isolate this idea: Idea #2: Add SSDs - disks that have fast access speeds. #7: It's possible to have multiple GPUs already. It's kinda cheating, but it does improve rendering speed. The catch of course is that in multiplayer games it stresses the server's connection even more. It does not need to be called "SLI" or "Crossfire" and to be blunt it never should be called that. If you want that control panel, that is your responsibility. I'm not making that for you. #8: Coming up with a buttload of different CPU items is just going to confuse matters without actually providing anything useful. "MULTI-CORE SUPPORTED" I had this idea a few days ago and was considering posting it as a joke. It turns out it's not actually as bad as I thought, but to be blunt it's completely unnecessary. Of course, nothing other than insufficient programming skill is stopping you from making a mod for OC that adds an SMP core. But what is it going to do, call coroutine.yield more often? Multi-core CPUs don't make sense in Lua. As for a "real" CPU, it's a pain in the arse to emulate unless you only emulate it loosely by running two emulator cores in different threads. There's a reason I was going to post this proposal as a joke. As for having two CPUs in the same computer... it's kinda pointless when you can just get two computers and connect them to the same component network. #9: More item spam for the purpose of fulfiling some urge to level up. Are you sure you don't play games on Facebook? #10: And out of the blue, an idea that might actually be useful: Idea #3: Some way to extend the range of wireless things? It's a bit vague though, so you'll have to explain further. #11: Please take your graphics control panel idea and stick it where the sun don't shine. With that out of the way... what the heck IS an extended monitor anyway? And with THAT out of the way... the next good idea: Idea #4: Projectors! It'll be kinda hard to pull off though. I was thinking that some sort of shadowing algorithm would work, but it would be better and much faster to just make a polygon mesh on the fly. #12: One word: Computronics. Yes, this one exists... sort of. For sound there are a few "sound cards" e.g. MassSound that you could try. They're all extra mods though. To be blunt, OC doesn't really need them built in. #13: See #11. #14: If you want a wireless GPU, set up an extra computer and write a program to relay GPU commands. #15: As this idea depends on some crap written by ChickenBones, this is a mod you'll want to write yourself. Once again, if you want control panels for everything, write them yourself. The rest of us will be happy with a CLI. #16: A 720KB floppy disk would be nice (NOT 700KB THAT'S NOT A VALID FLOPPY DISK SIZE). A read-only high-capacity storage device would also be nice. Otherwise you're just adding unnecessary crap in the name of "this resembles my PC more" #17: A YouTube player would stress the server's connections a bit too much. Also, video decoding is hard. Having said that, shameless plug, but it IS possible to make OC play video. A general internet browser would be an interesting challenge. I'm not sure if there's one on oppm or the other package manager already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
