Requirements
What your computer needs to play in the portal and to use the launcher and editor on Windows, Linux and macOS (the editor on Mac is not on the portal yet).
DescribesLauncher 0.4.0 and editor 0.5.0 For everyone
Portal#
A current browser with WebGL, which is what draws the games. A computer or a phone will do. You do not need an account. You do need a connection to load the portal and each game.
Launcher and editor#
The two programs ask for the same things on each system.
| System | What it needs |
|---|---|
| 64-bit Windows | The system's WebView2 component. Windows 11 already has it. The portable executable installs nothing: double-click to open it. The launcher's installer does not ask for administrator rights; the editor's does. |
| 64-bit Linux (amd64) | WebKitGTK 4.1 and GTK 3. See the table below. |
| macOS | macOS 12 or later. There is one zip for Apple Silicon and another for Intel. The Intel one also runs on a Mac with Apple Silicon, with Rosetta. |
Libraries on Linux, the same for the launcher and for the editor:
| Distribution | WebKitGTK | GTK |
|---|---|---|
| Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives | libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 | libgtk-3-0 |
| Fedora | webkit2gtk4.1 | gtk3 |
You need neither an account nor a connection to use the launcher and the editor: the seven games come inside the launcher, and the editor's projects are folders on your computer.
The programs are not signed: Windows and macOS warn you the first time you open them. What to do on each system: Download and install.
Download sizes#
| Program | File | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Launcher | Windows, portable executable | 17.7 MB |
| Launcher | Windows, installer | 8.8 MB |
| Launcher | Linux, tar.gz | 6.7 MB |
| Launcher | macOS Apple Silicon, zip | 6.2 MB |
| Launcher | macOS Intel, zip | 6.7 MB |
| Editor | Windows, standalone executable (without the AI layer) | 38.4 MB |
| Editor | Windows, installer (with the AI layer) | 41.2 MB |
| Editor | Linux, tar.gz (with the AI layer) | 60.8 MB |
These are the sizes of launcher 0.4.0 and editor 0.5.0 on Windows and Linux, in the same unit the downloads page uses: the file's bytes divided by 1,048,576. What the editor's AI layer is and what changes without it: Assistant.
Processor, memory and graphics#
There are no published minimum hardware requirements, and this documentation does not make one up. What does exist is measurements of how the engine performs: they are in Performance.
