four o'clock hey so yeah is that
uh does that work yeah absolutely it's very important work
you saw how much people liked it the last time we did something like this right i mean you could even say this is
god's work i could say this is god's work
what does that mean well it's temple oh as it's god's third temple
god's their temple lord okay we're gonna get demonetized over all the religious
stuff going on here um fortunately today's video is sponsored
by elgato elgato's new wave one and wave three usb broadcast microphones are here
with their wavelink app you can control your wave mic up to seven other audio sources and create independent mixes
learn more at the link down below
tell me about what i'm looking at here please okay temple os is an open source
operating system developed by terry davis a long time computer enthusiast
who cut his teeth on the old commodore 64 back in the 80s he began the project
back in 2003 then called j operating system in order to go back to those
roots in his own words to recreate the dynamic environment that it used to
exist when the commodore 64 was around and everyone was creating oddball
software and you can clearly see that inspiration in the interface he ended up
with unfortunately terry's mental state
had been deteriorating rapidly since being diagnosed with schizophrenia in
the mid to late 90s and he began to see what he believed were cia agents
shadowing him the story is long complex
dramatic and unfortunately ultimately very tragic but to sum it up he began to
see what he interpreted as signs from god resulting in direct communication
through an oracle in the form of a pseudorandom number generator function
that he programmed into the operating system now while his vocabulary became
increasingly let's just call it controversial in an
attempt to combat the psychological warfare he believed was being conducted
against him it was through these conversations that he got the inspiration for many of the foundational
elements of temple os which he says god told him was the biblical third temple
640 by 480 pixels with 16 colors vga
graphics single voice audio through the pc speaker with no preemptive
multitasking and a completely open ring zero design that gives users complete
control over their hardware in other words it's a tinkerer's dream come true
so long as you know how to use it well i don't know how to use it but i'm
assuming that it's set up here so that uh you can guide me through taking it
for a spin sure let's do it let's do it this is interesting
i don't think i've seen an interface this unintuitive and cluttered uh
there's so many flashing items that it's not clear to me
what is selected or not selected Anthony
help me out here okay so right now
you have a mouse oh i did you can use that look at that i
got a mouse now how familiar are you with the uh c programming language yeah
let's let's go eli five here
okay so everything in this operating system
including the operating system itself is
programmed in what's called holy see holy see
yeah you have got to be kidding me he was a kid his own language
yeah he was a catholic and he named the language holy see it's
somewhere in between a c and a c plus plus level of power and
versatility and basically in that
vein the entire operating system runs on those commands
so it's it's all that that's that's what you're looking at right now this is
what's called the uh home menu the home menu you can get there at any time by
pressing control and m control m okay got it and that's the
menu flashing up here why do i have a menu flashing on the left and the right
because you currently have two Windows open you can close one of those if you'd like
there you go you cannot close that background window that's atom it's the
debugger and program monitor right got it makes perfect sense okay
yeah system keys quick guide space is left click and enter is right click
f7 is god word what happened turn it just put a word up
there text altation yeah that's what exultation
that's the that's the window that's the title yeah so what you're looking at
right there is this the blinking black square is your text cursor you can
control that with the arrows so if i press f7 it'll just abides retired
hereditary circuit mouths names
are these just words that occur in the bible
i think it's every word that the operating system isn't like actually aware of husbands
phillips what about shift f7 whoa hey
by chance leaning upon his spear and lo the
something hard after him and when i looked behind him he said i answered
here am i and he said to me who art thou
amalekite wow so that's a god passage f6
is a god song now that we won't be able to hear right
now we can come back to that yeah okay os navigation is handled
through a combination of mouse inputs and shortcut keys some of which work
throughout the entire operating system regardless of what you are looking at
some of them are things that you would need in any operating system like a
shortcut to go to the personal menu or to uh exit for example others are
ones that are unique to this one like the shortcuts to bring up a god song god
doodle uh passage or word i think the words are from the
bible they might also just be from the dictionary that this os has access to as
well as a system wide bible that you can get to simply by pressing what was it
ctrl shift b ctrl alt b ctrl alt b
there it is and there it is one piece of the operating system that
certainly underlines the struggle of its creator is the holy spirit menu which
you can access after you open up the god doodle
application here you'll find some sort
of general statements interpreting the bible and the world
as well as a q a with the random number generator that we
alluded to before the answers in the q a range from things that kind of make
sense like the 14th commandment is
apparently no pedophilia or child porn yeah i can get behind that two things
that seemingly have nothing to do with the question being asked and everything
in between like this is a great answer does he like mirrored glass mega church
secular glass yeah sounds about right wait what are we doing right now this is
a god noodle how do i know when it's done yeah it'll
it'll be done eventually so one of the things about this
you might notice that there are animated icons as well as you
know just general icons on this menu despite the fact that it is
text mode yeah he created a special file format that
allows him to insert those things along with songs and other stuff into what is
essentially just an ascii file and what you're looking at right now is
basically a straight text file except it has these things built in
that's kind of cool are these all wait hold on a second
fun games unfun games
code scraps and non-games
so the tour is actually right there above fun games
yeah that tells you all you need to know about
actually navigating and using the system wow
the type command is like the dos command
of the same name or the unix command it will now send your menu document to the
command line it uses the same document format and the icons are even active wow
so that's the end of the tour i guess oh that would be yeah
oh my menu is over on the right now you can actually move and resize Windows as you
please if you click on the borders uh except for adam you can't you can't
change adam but if you were to click and drag okay
what else can we do well i mean there are games we can play can we start with
an unfun one and see how it goes sure
okay i'm gonna go with zone out i refuse to rip off the
original so this is intentionally crappy
and included for demonstration purposes
write games don't play them
so this is a battle zone clone one thing you'll notice is that the keystrokes
appear to be
BIOS keystrokes so you'll hit a button
and it'll turn once and then it'll wait for the repeat and then it'll keep
turning and it can only do one of them at a time
look at me i'm sniping him oh shoot
that one didn't even hit yeah the the hitbox detection is
the least of its problems ah yeah that was unfun all right why don't
we try a fun game like wenceslas start fires by pressing space nice on
trees they are yule logs lead peasants to fires okay so we start
fires did i start a fire or not oh i started a
fire okay so how do i bring the peasant to the fire
they'll follow your footsteps so i have to like
you have to really really babysit them so did i get a point
uh yeah so freezing peasants i think went from ten to nine so is this are
these peasants on fire now i'm not sure if they're on fire you're not trogdor
but uh dating all the peasants
we gotta stop making that reference it's too old it is too old people don't get it
some people do for those three people it's the best
reference okay i think i've had enough of this but hey solid 30 FPS so
um 10 out of 10 better than the last of us too oh
the troll all right let's try for room this is the one you were playing right yes it is
i can see why you i died
yep that was quick wow the car goes so fast that was the first thing that
happened to me too i went forward and i died okay well that's what happens when
you go too fast this is a learning game yeah it's it's
this is all edutainment
this is by far the best game so far
yeah it's actually pretty decent there's also a flight simulator kind of game it
makes you wonder like just how talented this guy was before
well you know things happened
it's like if nothing else this demonstrates
quite a breadth of skill yeah he created all the 2d libraries and
3d libraries from scratch the operating system from scratch
all of this from scratch by the way that was 16 colors okay so the final thing
that i want to show you is a game called after egypt
it is not actually included in the main distribution anymore if it ever was
but i do have it on a cd image
okay so i'm going to show you how to tell you how to mount a cd image wow it
has cd support sure of course it does okay yeah so go to go to the terminal
okay type remember this has to be like capitalized mount semicolon enter
now it supports RAM drives hard drives etc
what we want is a cd drive because we actually have a virtual cd setup so type
t and uh press p to probe there we go so
we got the hard drive and we got the cd drive we want to choose the cd drive
just hit two and enter and hit enter to exit so you can see
that the drive t has been loaded type drv
open open parenthesis
quote t quote
close semicolon
okay so you see that it changed the window border to blue because that is the color
code of this drive okay so just do a dir
now uh choose supplemental games
so cd oh yeah yeah yeah oh awesome after egypt
now type hashtag
it's a pound sign include space uh quote
run with capital r quote and center
uh and type a colon and hit enter so this is something that
terry was very proud of back when he created it
this is a moses simulator yeah like uh
like i'm on mount sinai kind of looking down at the
okay so we've got a golden calf that's bad yeah so you can hit escape
that'll bring up a menu oh so it's like like an oregon trail style like choice
making adventure game sorry he didn't ever actually create like an end goal or
anything like that this is more of like a software toy like a distressing thing
so wait so when there's a golden calf i should probably
okay
wait mount hora i thought it was mount sinai i'm actually not sure
what mountain did moses climb
mount sinai yeah according to the denver post catherine egypt
okay so i need to find a burning bush yeah so you'll use the arrow keys for
this okay so now you're at the oracle we get
to see what god says sometimes it's a bible passage sometimes it's something
different okay you've got the good thing this is the difference this is god
speaking directly to you grievous shakes discord decided allay
whatsoever potter biting
mark observed province ye whilst
likewise scourges by
i feel like trying to find meaning in it might
lead me farther from
knowledge i mean it did have the word potter in there
so i should fire a cult there's only one person here named
potter sorry Colton temple os told me to do it
so why is this not included in the core game anymore i'm not sure it might have
been that he never actually included it was something he was working on or it
might have been i i don't actually know what the history of after egypt is
i do know that he was very proud of it when he created it though got it it's
not strictly i think it's not strictly a demo so he didn't include it can it do
anything else useful well yeah
if i were better at programming and had more time i could probably whip something up it's from what i understand
very easy to draw shapes very easy to create sprites that kind of
thing so it's really a tinkerer's tool like a
beginner's programming operating system like you have full control over the
hardware here so that's a really cool idea
yeah it's like an old school commodore 64. so the god song right that yeah we
couldn't do that because we didn't have sound right so this one does have sound
it just crashed in the games so let's try that okay so f6 f6
so you can choose what kind of level complexity you want whether it has rests
sure let's have an octave it has i'm not sure what six eight means
so simple normal complex i'm a complex kind of guy
hilariously i don't think it's worse than like the soundtrack of like a
hugo's house of horrors or something like that
yeah that's actually not terrible
like there's some there's some terrible there's garbage parts in it yeah yeah
what a thing um if you guys want to learn more check out frederick nudson's
down the rabbit hole investigation into
the creation of temple os and its creator it's
far more in depth than what we could possibly cover here but
i have to say it was it was quite the
experience you guys can try it out for yourselves by the way we'll have a link to where to get it down in the video
description uh you can fire it up in a vm that's probably the easiest way to
get it working and uh yeah go go ham

thanks for watching this video if you guys enjoyed it maybe check out our
previous alternative operating systems
episode on react os um
a little more conventional but uh frankly not much more useful
depending what you're trying to do at least this is a bible reading app well it's that and it's also like a
modern day commodore 64. you can tinker with it that's that's that's the point
yeah
