And if you already know a lot about the topic, it willstill be able to hold your interest. kOS is meant to scalewith the skill level of the user. You can start off doing verysmall simple things with it, and get more and more into using itsfeatures as you go.
What it does¶
kOS introduces a few new parts that each contain a simulatedcomputer capable of running programs written in its own scriptinglangauge called kerboscript. The computer has powerfulsmarts built in to the hardware that allow it to do complexspacecraft operations in one command, thus making it possible tomake complex programs with only a few lines of script text.
The intent of kOS is to be a fully in-game item that livesinside the Kerbal’s universe. The program isn’t running onyour own gaming computer, but rather it’s being run in avirtual machine that is simulated in the underlying Unity engine.
