The [[Web Browser]] is a program only accessible in 0.0.x that the player can buy from the Shiftnet. Sold on Appscape, this program would magically allow access to the '''real-life Internet''' from within ShiftOS.

The web browser used the stock '''Windows Forms web renderer''' control, meaning that there was poor JavaScript support and limited CSS support. Most websites would load incorrectly, including the ShiftOS forums themselves. Most notably, the game would direct the player to Google when opening the browser, which would laughably recommend the player install Google Chrome for the browser they were using was extremely outdated.

[[Video Player]] is a program that you can buy off of [[Appscape]] in the [[Shiftnet]]. It allows playing of various media files, through the use of an ActiveX Windows Media Player control. This was demoed in the 0.0.8 development update.

== Bugs and issues ==
Because the Video Player was built on ActiveX and Windows Media Player, it meant that, theoretically, the player could both '''break out of ShiftFS''' through Media Player's user interface, and '''access fullscreen mode''' exposing a Windows Media Player user interface. However, these issues are hypothetical and based purely on a cursory look in the game's code. These theories are untested.

Furthermore, the use of Windows Media Player would prevent the game from ever running on Linux or macOS.

== Cost ==
The price of the upgrade is currently unknown. The Shiftnet is free and comes with the download in the alpha versions of 0.0.8. In the final version it will have to be bought.

Skin

2025-06-13T16:28:43Z

Alee: add first introduction

[[Skin|Skins]] is a major feature in [[ShiftOS]], it was first introduced in 0.0.7 Alpha 1. Skins are special files which contain [[Shifter]] options. These options are automatically applied once the Skin Loader is used with the .skn file of the skin.

== Overview ==
A typical Skin consists of a desktop background, title bar colours, window button alignment and colors, panel colors and a font. Skins are often extracted from an actual operating system and then set up to work with [[ShiftOS]]. This process is called "ripping".

== Skin sharing ==
Once someone finishes work on their ShiftOS Skin, they upload it as an .skn file to a file hosting service (either a normal one, such as [http://www.sendspace.com SendSpace] or one which is made explicitly for Skins, such as [http://shiftos.net/topic883.html SKNUpload]). After the file is uploaded, the Skin creator usually posts a thread with the link to it on the [[ShiftOS Forums]]. People then download the .skn file from the hosting service, copy it to their ShiftOS directory and finally, apply it using Skin Loader. The user [[User:Kiwi7PL|Kiwi7]] attempted to simplify this process by creating a system called [[Quick Skin Downloading]], which downloaded the Skin directly to the ShiftOS directory immediately after clicking a special link. However, this system wasn't very well received by the ShiftOS community due to people having to create special links.

== Skin Loader ==
Skin Loader is a [[ShiftOS]] tool which allows users to create or view .skn files and alter the appearance of the game using them. Skin Loader consists of a preview of a window and the desktop with the current Skin applied to them and four buttons: "Close", "Load Skin", "Save Skin" and "Apply Skin". The first button closes the program without taking any action. The second one loads a .skn file into the program and updates the previews accordingly, while the third one saves the current appearance of ShiftOS as a .skn file. The last button applies the currently loaded .skn file onto ShiftOS.

== Skin Shifter ==
Skin Shifter is a [[ShiftOS]] program which can periodically change the appearance of the game using a set of .skn files. Three options are available in this program: "Shift Interval", "Add Skin" and "Enable", which changes to "Disable" when the program is enabled. There's also the "Next Shift" label, which shows the time remaining to the next appearance change when the program is enabled. The option "Shift Interval" allows the user to change the time (in seconds) between appearance changes, while the button "Add Skin" can be used to import a .skn file which Skin Shifter will use. Clicking on a file path at the left side of the program's window allows the user to instantly switch Skins.

[[File Skimmer]] is a file manager program for [[ShiftOS]]. It allows users to browse through, open and delete files on the hard drive. It can also be used to delete entire folders of them. File Skimmer only supports the file system [[ShiftFS]].

== Usage ==
File Skimmer can be launched using either the [[Terminal]] or the [[App Launcher]]. Upon being launched, the program will display the contents of C:\ShiftOS. Folders can be opened by double-clicking the mouse. Upon opening a folder, File Skimmer will display its contents in the same window. The user can go back to the previous folder by selecting "Up a Level". Some folder may contain files. Double-clicking a file will open it in the associated program, for example double-clicking a ".pic" file will load it in [[Artpad|ArtPad]]. The user can open the bottom menu by clicking the arrow at the bottom of the window to gain access to the "New Folder" and "Delete" features, with the latter only working when a file or folder is selected.

[[ShiftFS]] is the in-game filesystem format for [[ShiftOS]].

In the introduction sequence for 0.0.x releases of ShiftOS, the operating system would format the player's C: drive and repartition it with the "ShiftFS" filesystem format. In reality, this was the game creating the C:\ShiftOS folder - the player's save file - and creating all the folders and files necessary for the in-game environment. The rest of the introduction screen would be reserved for creating the illusion of installing an operating system on the player's drive, well after this save directory was generated.

This filesystem format allowed the game to sandbox its filesystem outside of the host computer's. This meant that the player truly could not go above ShiftOS's root folder, a feature in 0.0.x.

Artpad

2025-06-13T16:22:17Z

Alee: fix

[[Artpad]] is an in-game image editor first added in version 0.0.7 Beta 1. It is intended for the creation of [[Skinning|skins]] and uses the *.pic format. This file format was created by [[DevX]] specifically for [[ShiftOS]].

The Artpad starts off as very basic program with a pixel limit of 2. The only tool it comes with is the pixel setter, which must have coordinates typed into it to place pixels on the canvas. This makes the Artpad almost usable except for making basic gradient skins. However, Artpad can be upgraded through the [[Shiftorium]] to a fully featured graphics editor.

Using Artpad also earn you [[Code Points]] based on the amount of time you spend and how active you are when creating Artpad images.

Alee: fixed release dates

[[File:ShiftOS Artwork.jpg|thumb|ShiftOS Artwork]]
[[ShiftOS]] was a game developed in [[Wikipedia:Visual Basic (.NET)|Visual Basic .NET]] by Philip Adams and other developers. The goal for the game was to go from a bare terminal to a graphical user interface with full desktop features.

Development started in November 2013, and ended on May 2015.

== History ==
[[File:ShiftOS Arch.png|thumb|Logo used when ShiftOS was a Arch Linux distro]]
Back around 2013, [https://osfirsttimer.wiki/wiki/OSFirstTimer OSFirstTimer] was doing his series on Arch Linux Adventures, which was supposed to be a journey from just a terminal to a fully graphical user interface with desktop features; he once had the idea to make that journey integrated as a real Linux distribution.

The idea was that ShiftOS was able to change the computing experience on every boot like the desktop environment, window manager, software, and the theme. A lot of software would be pre-installed, but it will randomly be selected every time when the person turns on their computer or when it is live when revealing it to the user.

He explained this on the [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169391 Arch Linux forum], but most people were pretty critical of this. They thought it was too bloated as it would need to download a lot of packages every time it reboots the system, and they also have figured that he was too inexperienced with Linux distros as his ideas were too ambitious. So he decided to make his own game after realizing his distro idea alone won’t work.

== Plot ==
The game starts off with the player's computer getting hijacked by [[DevX]]. The player is then informed that he was "involuntarily selected" to be an alpha tester for ShiftOS. The in-game computer's hard disk is then formatted with the fictional file system [[ShiftFS]] and ShiftOS is installed. After installation, DevX contacts the player with some basic information on how to use ShiftOS' [[Terminal|command line]].

== Gameplay ==
After the opening sequence, the player gains the ability to use the in-game operating system's command line to open a basic set of programs, which show basic black and white graphics (aside from the [[Video Player]] and [[Web Browser]]). ShiftOS' virtual currency, [[Code Points]], can be used in the [[Shiftorium]] to upgrade the operating system with new features (such as colors and the [[App Launcher]]) and additional software (such as [[TextPad]] and [[ArtPad]]). Code Points can be earned by playing minigames such as [[Pong]], [[Knowledge Input]] or by customizing the operating system using the [[Shifter]].

[[Knowledge Input]] is a game where you type items in a certain category to earn [[Code Points|codepoints]]. It is already installed when you first open the game, and it is the only way to get [[Code Points|codepoints]] at first.

== Categories ==
Currently, there are fruits, countries, animals, game consoles, elements, and car brands. Fruits, countries, and animals are in Knowledge Input by default, but game consoles, elements, and car brands have to be purchased in the [[Shiftorium]]. Any purchased categories only appear in the game once, and will be removed after Knowledge Input is closed.

You first select a category, then type in anything that fits into that category, and if you get enough to complete a level, you get codepoints.

[[Code Points]] is one of the in-game currency for the game.

== Usage ==
Codepoints are primarily used for buying upgrades in the [[Shiftorium]], however they can be exchanged for [[Bitnotes]] later in the game.

=== Bitnote exchange rate ===
In 0.0.8, players could exchange Codepoints for Bitnotes after unlocking the [[Shiftnet]]. For every 24 Codepoints given away to the Bitnote Shiftnet site, the player would gain one Bitnote - allowing them to buy programs and services off sites like Appscape.

== Earning Codepoints ==
Codepoints would be earned by doing almost anything in ShiftOS. The most effective way to earn Codepoints was Pong, which soon became a meme in the community as ShiftOS would soon become Pong Simulator 2032 during 1.0's development.

Other ways of earning Codepoints included getting 10 items right in Knowledge Input, customizing the OS in Shifter, writing long documents in TextPad, and drawing pictures in ArtPad'''.'''

The amount of Codepoints earned, and the effort required, would depend on what the player is doing and how the program they are using is written.

Pong

Alee: fixes

[[Pong]] is a built-in game in [[ShiftOS]], based on the [[Wikipedia:Pong|1972 game]]. The gameplay was changed slightly to make it more challenging such as in every level the speed of the ball changes.

== Gameplay ==
The ShiftOS version of Pong is played using the mouse. The player moves the paddle on the left side of the screen and a computer opponent moves the paddle on the right side. Whenever the ball hits a paddle, it bounces back with increased speed. The ball also bounces back when it hits the top or bottom side of the screen, however its speed isn't increased. If the ball leaves the screen to the left side, the game is over and the player loses all of their points. If the ball leaves the screen to the right side, the player scores a number of points. The minigame is divided into levels. Each level takes 60 seconds. After a level ends, the player may choose to quit playing and convert their score into [[Code Points]] or continue to the next level for a higher score.

[[ShiftOS]] was a game developed by Philip Adams and other developers. The original goal was to go from a bare terminal to a graphical user interface with full desktop features.

== History ==
[[File:ShiftOS Arch.png|thumb|Logo used when ShiftOS was a Arch Linux distro]]
Back around 2013, [https://osfirsttimer.wiki/wiki/OSFirstTimer OSFirstTimer] was doing his series on Arch Linux Adventures, which was supposed to be a journey from just a terminal to a fully graphical user interface with desktop features; he once had the idea to make that journey integrated as a real Linux distribution.

The idea was that ShiftOS was able to change the computing experience on every boot like the desktop environment, window manager, software, and the theme. A lot of software would be pre-installed, but it will randomly be selected every time when the person turns on their computer or when it is live when revealing it to the user.

He explained this on the [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169391 Arch Linux forum], but most people were pretty critical of this. They thought it was too bloated as it would need to download a lot of packages every time it reboots the system, and they also have figured that he was too inexperienced with Linux distros as his ideas were too ambitious. So he decided to make his own game after realizing his distro idea alone won’t work.

== Plot ==
The game starts off with the player's computer getting hijacked by [[DevX]]. The player is then informed that he was "involuntarily selected" to be an alpha tester for ShiftOS. The in-game computer's hard disk is then formatted with the fictional file system [[ShiftFS]] and ShiftOS is installed. After installation, DevX contacts the player with some basic information on how to use ShiftOS' [[Terminal|command line]].

== Gameplay ==
After the opening sequence, the player gains the ability to use the in-game operating system's command line to open a basic set of programs, which show basic black and white graphics (aside from the [[Video Player]] and [[Web Browser]]). ShiftOS' virtual currency, [[Code Points]], can be used in the [[Shiftorium]] to upgrade the operating system with new features (such as colors and the [[App Launcher]]) and additional software (such as [[TextPad]] and [[ArtPad]]). Code Points can be earned by playing minigames such as [[Pong]], [[Knowledge Input]] or by customizing the operating system using the [[Shifter]].
