Overview

RobOS provides first-class support for game development across two dedicated software archetypes in the Knowledge Graph:

  1. PC Games (robos:PCGame): Desktop video games targeting Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.
  2. Mobile Games (robos:MobileGame): Handheld video games targeting iOS and Android mobile devices.

Both archetypes integrate with Schema.org VideoGame and Wikidata standards (wd:Q10590 for PC games, wd:Q1149622 for mobile games).

Supported Game Engines

  • Unreal Engine 5 (C++ / Blueprints) with DirectX 12, Vulkan, and Nanite/Lumen asset pipelines.
  • Unity 6 (C#) for cross-platform desktop and mobile games.
  • Godot 4.2+ (GDScript / C#) for lightweight 2D and 3D games.
  • Bevy Engine (Rust) for data-driven ECS rendering.

Scaffolding Games via RobOS App Wizard

  1. Open RobOS App Wizard (packages/app-wizard).
  2. Select PC Game (🎮) or Mobile Game (🕹ī¸).
  3. Specify engine, repository slug, and platform targets.
  4. Click Generate Scaffolding to produce build configuration templates, dev-setup.sh, and .robos/packages.yaml registration.
