Welcome to the Axolotl PowerPoint Operating System! The goal of this project is to recreate the feel of an operating system inside Microsoft PowerPoint. At no means this is meant to be something practical, it’s just some little silly thing to teach me some legacy Office programming. Please note that this was developed and tested on Office 365 (2021), and as of 2024 should work with most versions considering its current simplicity.
A PPT-OS is a PowerPoint presentation created in order to mimic an operating system, offering an OS-like UX.
