You're the OS! is a game where the player acts as a computer's operating system, managing processes, memory, and I/O events to keep the user from rebooting. It is built with Python and Pygame, playable in the browser via WebAssembly or as a desktop app with an API for automation scripts.
Use cases
- learn how operating systems schedule processes
- play a game about managing memory and I/O
- teach OS concepts like process scheduling interactively
- experiment with automation scripts against a simulated OS
- play an educational game in the browser
When to choose
- you want a fun, hands-on way to learn OS concepts like scheduling and memory management
- you want a browser-playable educational game with no install
- you want to script or automate gameplay via its API
When to avoid
- you need a real operating system or OS-level tooling
- you want a general-purpose OS simulator for research
- you need a polished commercial game experience
