Wow. Could be an interesting game. Could also be an interesting learning tool. It's a shame that it probably wouldn't be ported to Linux though.

- _bxg1 7y agoIt could trivially be built for Linux if the author decided to (or released the code). But it's also more of a tech demo than a real utility; there's no indication it runs any existing GUI applications.
- MrEldritch 7y agoIt's not supposed to be a a real utility, or run real applications! It's intended for use in computer games; there's several such games that use a virtual "OS" as their framing device and core interface.
- _bxg1 7y agoI missed that part in the text I honestly think it's more interesting as: - A demonstration of what's possible within Unity (it's extremely impressive, because Unity's built-in GUI system is pretty terrible and it's clear that there's some level of composability, etc. to the UI system being demonstrated) - An experiment in creating a totally virtual, cross-platform (gorgeous) desktop environment within a single app that could be trivially run on any OS But of course it's still a long way from the latter, if someone even wanted to take it that direction
