The aim of this post is to explain how SilenceEngine works across platforms, and also to explain the life cycle of the game. Right now, SilenceEngine can work officially on Windows, Mac, Linux and HTML5. Unofficially it works on Android (work is in progress, only audio device is not available there). To make it work everywhere, SilenceEngine is designed in two parts — the engine and it’s runtime. The engine is just a collection of game related classes, where as there is a separate runtime for every platform. Let’s talk about the runtimes in this post.

The command sudo is most common among linux and mac users. It allows people to launch any application with administrator privileges.

Recently, I’ve tried to run OpenTK Examples on my windows 8.1 pro and it asked me to install .Net Framework 3.5.

Hackintosh is a way for people who want to use Mac OS X but cannot afford the high prices of the apple hardware. Hackintoshing is the process of installing Mac OS X on a non-apple computer.

Before starting with this, make sure that you have backed up all your data as this process involves a complete format of your hard disk.
