RainbOS

RainbOS is an OS created by GamingTime.

RainbOS's purpose is to give GamingTime a way to learn about the world of coding, GitHub, Anki Vector, and tech.

RainbOS is based off of WireOS, but with many added features.

Changes Made

  • Colorful or "rainbow" backpack animations.
  • RainbOS is meant to add some fun color to Anki Vector's build-in backpack lights. Each animation is carefully chosen to represent what emotion or situation Vector is in and reflect that in a fun new way.
  • BlackJack Request to Play
  • Anki had an old feature in prototype firmware where Vector would request to "Play BlackJack?" You could chose to start a game of BlackJack with Vector by saying yes, or decide to disapoint Vector with a no. Sadly, this feature was taken out before Vector's release. GamingTime added it back, and it is no fully functional once again.
  • Many more small changes, which you can checkout on the RainbOS Repository.
  • More to come in the future.
  • RainbOS is a work-in-progress! As GamingTime's skills and understandings grow, so will the features of RainbOS. Stay tuned for the future!

Where to Find
