BASIX OS v2.2 — FINALLY ON GITHUB!! 🦫🚀
FINALLYYYY!! BASIX OS v2.2 is now pushed to GitHub!
This update was supposed to be a small improvement, but somehow CAPY decided he needed more features instead of getting some sleep 💀
So here’s what I added in v2.2:
- Capy Snake — A fully playable Snake game where CAPY eats oranges and occasionally himself 🐍🍊
- Capy Timer — Added countdown presets and a stopwatch!
- Capy Terminal — Improved it with file and folder commands, command history, and saved files.
- Added smoother window closing animations.
- Fixed the window stacking issues and made some other small improvements.
Also spent a lot of time fixing bugs and testing everything. The Snake game alone gave me enough problems to make CAPY retire from programming 😭
But everything is finally working, and I’m happy with how v2.2 turned out!
Huge thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the previous versions and to the open-source creators whose projects helped me learn along the way!
GitHub: https://github.com/FOU-SHREX/BASIX-OS/tree/webos2-v2.2
That’s it for BASIX OS v2.2!
CAPY is officially going back to sleep. He says he deserves a vacation after doing absolutely nothing. 🦫💤
CAPYBARA CAPYBARA CAPYBAAARAAA!!

This time I added Capy Snake! 🐍🍊 Because apparently CAPY was getting bored of sleeping all day.
Built a classic Snake game using HTML Canvas and vanilla JavaScript. Added a 20×20 grid, arrow-key movement, oranges to collect, scoring, high scores, and Start/Pause/Restart buttons.
For the code, I made a separate snake.js file. Used an array to store the snake’s body, setInterval() to move it, and unshift() / pop() to update its position. When the snake eats an orange, it grows, and every 3 oranges the speed increases. High scores are saved using localStorage.
Also added wall and self-collision detection, so CAPY can’t just eat himself and pretend nothing happened 💀
Had some funny bugs along the way. First I typed fillReact() instead of fillRect() and the entire game board disappeared. Then I had to give the snake a tiny black eye because I couldn’t even tell which side was its head 😭
Special thanks to these GitHub projects for helping me understand the game logic:
Their code helped me understand how Snake games work, and I used those ideas to build my own version for BASIX OS. Thanks to the creators!
CAPY finally has a game to play. Unfortunately, he keeps eating himself. 🦫💀

This time I replaced the old Clock app with Capy Timer, since we already have a clock on the desktop anyway.
Added 8 timer presets (1 min to 1 hour), a stopwatch, and Start, Pause and Reset buttons.
For the code, I used data-minutes in HTML to get the selected time, then Date.now() and setInterval() to handle the countdown. Also made a displayTimer() function to update the time on screen.
Had a funny bug where I typed minute instead of minutes, and the stopwatch just refused to work 💀
Also added smooth closing animations to all 11 apps! I used CSS keyframes for the animation and a closeAppWindow() function that waits 200ms before hiding the window. Now the windows don’t just disappear into another dimension.
Learned a bit more about JavaScript timers, event listeners and CSS animations.
CAPY can now track exactly how many hours he wasted sleeping. Very useful feature. 🦫💤
Next up, some games! 🐍🍊

Finally finished upgrading Capy Terminal for BASIX OS v2.2! 🦫💻
The old terminal was pretty basic, so I decided to make it actually useful this time.
Now it has 24 commands! You can create folders, move between them, create files, write and read text, delete files and even use the ↑ ↓ arrow keys to go through previous commands.
Also added local saving, so CAPY won’t lose all his files whenever someone refreshes the OS.
And of course, I couldn’t forget the funny commands 💀
Try typing capy hello, orange, 67, joke or capy dance. CAPY will react in the terminal and on the desktop too!
Ran 67 checks on the updated terminal and everything passed!
That’s it for Terminal 2.0. Next up, I’m planning to add some new games to BASIX OS.
CAPY has officially learned how to use a terminal. He still refuses to get a job. 🦫💀

Finally finished BASIX OS v2.1! 🦫🚀
Pushed all the changes to GitHub and merged the feedback branch into WebOS 2!
This update added Capy Music, a desktop clock widget, smoother window animations, an improved calculator, real capybara photos and a bunch of UI fixes.
Also updated the README, added asset credits and passed all 32 manual tests!
It started as a small WebOS project and somehow ended up with 11 apps 💀
CAPY says he’s finally retiring after all this hard work (he literally slept through everything).
Time to ship this thing on Stardance! 🚀
DEVLOG- 12
Made a few final improvements to BASIX OS! 🦫
Added smooth opening animations to the app windows so they don’t just randomly pop up anymore 💀. Also added a small clock and date widget in the top-right corner of the desktop.
Had a small issue where the clock appeared in the wrong corner because I messed up the CSS ID, but fixed that too.
Finally tested the whole OS, and all 32 manual tests passed! Everything seems to be working fine now.
CAPY is officially done working (not that he was working anyway).
Will ship now! 🚀

Worked on the Capy Calculator today! 🧮
It was working fine before, but you couldn’t see the previous number or operation while calculating. So I added a small expression display above the main number, kinda like Windows Calculator.
Also made the display look cleaner in both themes. At first it kept showing null + instead of the actual numbers 💀 but fixed that too.
Tested the basic calculations and everything seems to be working now. CAPY finally learned some maths.
Spent some time making BASIX OS look less like a bunch of random windows 💀
DEVLOG- 10:
Added better fonts, rounded corners, shadows, and improved the text sizes inside the apps. Also cleaned up Capy Notes, Info, Clock, Settings, and the Music Player.
Had a small issue where the Music Player text became almost invisible in Dark Mode, but fixed that too.
Both themes look much cleaner now. CAPY finally hired a UI designer (me). 🦫
DEVLOG- 9
Added a new Capy Music app to BASIX OS! 🎵🦫
At first I tried using YouTube, but the video refused to load 💀. So I switched to a simple audio player with Play and Pause buttons.
Now the music keeps playing while you explore the OS, and you can pause and resume without restarting the song. Also gave the music window a cleaner look that works with both themes.
CAPY can finally vibe while doing absolutely nothing.

DEVLOG-8:
Finally finished BASIX OS WebOS 2 and deployed it! 🦫
Today I added the Capy Achievements app with 5 secret achievements for people to discover. Some unlock by clicking CAPY, collecting oranges, drawing stuff or exploring the apps. I’m not telling you everything, go find them yourself 💀
I used JavaScript to check when an achievement should unlock and localStorage to save the progress so you don’t lose everything after refreshing. Also added a little notification when you unlock one!
After testing the apps and fixing a few issues, I pushed everything to GitHub and deployed the website using GitHub Pages.
This project was pretty fun but also confusing sometimes. Learned a lot while making it!
CAPY has officially entered sleep mode. Bro needs another 100 years of rest 😭
DEVLOG-7
Today I added Capy Paint to BASIX OS!
It’s a basic drawing app where you can choose different colors, draw something, use the eraser, clear the canvas and even save your masterpiece as a PNG.
I used HTML Canvas and JavaScript to make it work. The tricky part was figuring out how to track the mouse while drawing. I used pointerdown and pointermove to draw lines as you move around.
It’s pretty simple but I had fun making it. I also drew a beautiful masterpiece for the people rating my project 💀
CAPY thinks he’s Picasso now… someone stop him 😭
DEVLOG-6
Today I added Capy Settings! Now you can change the wallpaper and switch between Light and Dark Mode.
I used JavaScript to change the theme and wallpaper, and localStorage to save the selected options so they don’t reset every time you refresh.
I also improved the taskbar icons with some help from ChatGPT. I tried looking at other open-source repos for reference, but making SVG icons myself was getting too complicated since I’m still learning 💀
Also updated the Capy Info section with some more CAPY nonsense. Go read it yourself, I’m not spoiling it!
Dark mode is finally here. CAPY can now sleep with the lights off 🦫
DEVLOG-5:
Today I added two more apps, Capy Calculator and Capy Gallery!
The Calculator was a bit confusing to make 💀 I had to figure out how to handle numbers, operators and the result using JavaScript. I used if statements to check which button was pressed and calculate the answer.
For the Gallery, I used an array to store CAPY’s pictures and made Previous and Next buttons to switch between them.
I’m still learning all this stuff and used some other open-source repos as references to understand how things work.
The Calculator almost made my brain stop calculating 😭 but CAPY can finally do maths now!

DEVLOG-4
Today I worked on changing a few things in BASIX OS!
First, I added a loading screen with some new Capybara images. I used setTimeout() in JavaScript to make the loading screen disappear after 3 seconds and open the desktop. CAPY needs some time to wake up 💀
I also started working on the Capy Terminal! I used JavaScript to check what command the user types and show the result. Making a proper terminal was getting pretty confusing, so I decided to keep it simple for now.
The hardest part was getting the terminal commands to respond properly without breaking anything else.
CAPY now thinks he’s a hacker because he can type help 😭
DEVLOG-2:
Waiting for nest reviewing its hard to create this as a lot of things are differ from the guide
