Developers Simulate Macintosh System 7 in Flash

Posted by pudge on from the time-meet-hands dept.

TheChocolatay writes "Two guys in Germany have worked to create a Macintosh System 7 simulation in Flash. You can watch the Happy Mac face as the system boots and it even has a working Control Pannel, After Dark screen saver, and games. Wired news has an article on the developers and the simulation can be viewed on-line."

  1. This is hardly anything special by azav · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not to toot but I've rewritten a windows 98 windowing system in Director and Shockwave in 1999 with:

    Windows and floating windows.
    Video support
    Key shortcuts
    32 bit graphics with alpha channel.
    Window dragging with live content updating.
    Multiple window states
    Multi state buttons
    Minimizable windows collapsable to a toolbar.
    Subclassable windowtypes.

    And I'm not the only guy to have done stuff like this. There are at least 4 other people I know who have done this.
