Is unity...

Hello i have a question on my mind, is unity in developing a linux version cause im on ubuntu (linux) and i want to play Battle star galactica : online but i don’t have unity because theres no linux version so i was wondering if it is in development for ubuntu

No you cant develop for Linux platform with Unity.

It is currently not planned or even in development phase. You might try to use wine for this. At least a friend of mine got the editor working completely fine with it, so in theory a game developed with unity should do as well.

Unity EXPORT to linux is planned though

Doesn’t it come with Flash export anyway?

Additionally you could try the latest dev build of WINE and copy some windows DLLs from an XP copy.

:shock: HOW DID I MISS THIS NEWS?!?!?! I don’t care if I can’t develop on Linux I just want to distribute to Linux based OS’s.

Oh, whats the status of Chrome and the Unity plugin? Weren’t Google working on something in chrome that by default it can run the Unity web player games without the need to install a plug in? Last I heard this was the only possible way to play Unity games on Linux distros.

Unity are currently developing 3 options:

Native code (Google NaCL).
Flash Export.
Linux player.

So the odds are at least one will work :slight_smile:

Nooo! Now we will have to support all those Linux leeches too! :wink:

I changed to linux with a solid reason and i wont switch back to 7 there was a hacker in my pc and my internet did not work once i switched to linux 100% fixed now i am praying for unity to be in linux but the tricky part is theres multi styles of linux
Ex. Ubuntu, Red Hat you name it
theres alot so it will take awhile

They probably got in by running multiple proxies on ring zero. You could have easily kicked them out by writing a user interface in Visual BASIC to track their IP.

#IF UNITY_LINUX
Application.OpenURL ("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0");
Application.Quit();
#ENDIF

You’re a total b*****d!

I like you.

I like that song :stuck_out_tongue:

There is not even a timeline when OpenGL ES is landing in chrome and without it unity can’t run

If you want to play a game then I’m sure you can get it working on Linux. Most Steam games work just fine form my experimentation. Battle star galactica should work too.

@dreamora
I can run the Unity web player in Google chrome I don’t know what your talking about.

Google NaCL - nothing to do with webplayer.

Google’s table salt? (science joke :))

Yes, it’s called NaCl (Native Client) quite deliberately.

and the library you use to program NaCl apps is called Pepper :slight_smile:
