NOBLOX Launcher for friends. It has been conceived as an attempt to integrate the popular video game ROBLOX® with the Linux® operating system environment. This is a necessity because in Roblox, players join games directly from within the game's website, while the only way to currently launch Roblox on Linux is as a Windows application, with the use of the Wine compatibility layer. The aforementioned setup would thus also require players to install Windows web browsers on their computers, and use them to launch the game, something that proves very uncomfortable.
I say would require - because that's exactly the problem that NOBLOX Launcher solves. By creating and maintaining a compatibility layer between Roblox and native Linux web browsers, we make possible that you experience the game on Linux with just as much ease as you would on a natively supported platform.
Just what the game itself requires, except we also support hope that it works on Linux. Also, Wine 6.11 or newer is required. Really.
Clone the git repository somewhere and launch the script. Congratulations, it should now work. Try to launch a Roblox game.
Oh... you want, like... More elaborate instructions? Here you go:
- Download the latest available version of the launcher from here.
- Unzip it somewhere, go into the directory that you just unzipped, and launch the script.
- Roblox should now be installed, the launcher configured and you may remove the downloaded files. Do not remove or mess with the directory
NOBLOX-Launcherin your home directory, though - that's where the launcher gets installed!
You may easily perform the installation on the terminal, too:
wget https://github.com/newbthenewbd/NOBLOX-Launcher/archive/stable.zip
unzip stable.zip
cd NOBLOX-Launcher-stable
/bin/sh nobloxLauncher.sh
Donations may or may not help keep this project up to date and working - but I will certainly be very thankful for each and every one that appears. :)
