Override (Override.exe) is a simple webOS inspired by Microsoft Windows 11 (no hate pls) that includes a special bonus!
The special bonus is, ofc, a puzzle game divided into 6 simple steps (or 7 if you count the lockscreen) each testing a different knowledge/skill.
I've tried to make the puzzles very easy to solve, while also providing info and hints.
Caution
Hints and Info can be found in the ProgressPanel on the top-right!
Caution
If you don't want to play the puzzles but want to view the puzzles,
you can go to decrypt/puzzle.md
You have applied for a Cybersecurity internship @Hackclub's HQ.
They receive 100s of applications but there are only a handful of seats.
They have devised a plan.
They have organized a practical test. They have taken control over your PC.
Can you regain control and show your skills?
You can skip this test and just use the webOS normally. Its optional but I highly recommend it.
- A modern browser with JS support,
- A keyboard and a mouse,
- Curiosity and sheer will, &
- Basic problem-solving skills
An instance of the ReactJS app is hosted by me through Vercel. You can easily access this hosted instance at override.rupnil.codes! The hosted website is compatible with most modern browsers and thus most OS.
Idk why you would want to build from the source when i have it deployed, but here u go anyways.
Before building make sure you have the following installed:
- Node.js (Version 20 or higher)
- npm (comes with Node.js) or similar, e.g. pnpm/yarn/etc.
git clone https://github.com/rupnil-codes/Override.exe.git
cd Override.exenpm install
npm updatenpm run devor
npx vitenpm run buildThen the final compiled webapp will be in the dist/ directory.
I've tried adding as many features as I could, here are some:
- Windows like lockscreen and login animation
- 1:1 replica of the taskbar (atleast i hope so)
- Different apps!
- Games!
- Puzzles/ARG stuff!
- Start menu (non-functional)
- Settings App (non-functional)
- Explorer App (non-functional)
- Other QOL changes check out
CHANGELOG.md
This project really taught me a ton of stuff and tbh i wanna work on this in the future!
- ReactJS: This was honestly my first time using ReactJS + Vite for web development, and I learnt so much during this journey! While there were some instances where I felt like giving up, I struggled through and reached a fruitful end!
- CSS: Being fr, before this project i wasn't good at CSS but it changed!
- Asynchronous stuff with JS
- Managing large codebases (although this may not be so big)
- Structuring the codebase
- Writing README's in detail!
This project was really one of the fewest that I actually invested time and FINISHED with success! I'm sooo proud of my creation. I would like to extend my gratitude to Hackclub for providing such an awesome platform!
Version: v0.4.7-beta
Latest Release Version: v0.4-beta
Status: Actively developing as of now
