PocketMatrix

Okay, as you might have seen in my "Art"-thread, RICoder and me have started an alternate PocketPC OS, based on StarTrek graphics. It will be free, so don't worry about the price and stuff.<br>Here's the deal: We need a fancy name - and I mean a fancy name. Nothing like LCARS CE or PocketPADD. The winner get's - uhm ... - well...<br>[center]A free copy [/center]<br>Thanks a lot,<br>-Shape

Trek stuff is with Paul. He's the resident geek here on PM.

dude!

Gotta get him into the Multimedia room first.

Ohh..never mind.

BTW, what do you want it to do? I now it's some kind of tricoder and has a Star Tek interface (if that's possible), but what will it do?

Shape and I are working on the spec now.  We will post it as it comes together.  We are always looking for ideas!

its a full OS isnt it?

It's more like a suplimental OS.  Runs on top of PPC.  I'll share some thoughts on whats up right now.<br><br>It is fullscreen.<br>The start menu is an integrated component, but it looks like LCARS.<br>When it shells out to another app, it goes away.<br>There will be embedded apps in it, as plug-ins.<br>

So its like a frontend then almost.

Nice. Could it have a  built in Trek library? It could have photos of the characters, names, ranks, what series they're on, etc. A library of the spaceships would be cool too, (federation or not), with photos and discriptions.<br>Paul could handle that.<br>Right, Paul?

how bout TrekOS<br><br>or Startrek - The Final OS<br><br>or StarOS<br><br>or TribbleOS<br><br>But seriously you guys HAVE to include an easter egg with tribbles in it.  there is on way around that.<br>

Luciano,<br>if you write it - sure. We mustnt use the one from StarTrek.com.<br>Ideot,<br>Maybe we'll just call it tribble. sounds nice. I remember the trek episode with tribbles. i think it was one of my favourites.<br>EsterEggs... good idea! We'll think about it!

Shape, I don't know zilt of any of the new series, only some stuff from the original. I didn't know there already was something like what I suggested. But is there a PPC version of this?

i'm in. ric, keep sending me the app as you build it, if you could. i'd like to it 'grow'
