Boot Motion

INTERACTIVE PLYMOUTH THEME

Dino.

The Chromium offline runner, adapted for the boot screen. The dinosaur plays a live demo until your first game control takes over. The original sprites and a shared C game engine run in Plymouth and here through WebAssembly.

INSTALL

Use it at boot.

Set game = "dino" in the NixOS module. The VM preview runs a real Plymouth boot and holds the splash for 30 seconds.

nix run .#qemu-preview-dino

In Plymouth, Ctrl+Space jumps, Ctrl+Down ducks for a short time, and Ctrl+Enter restarts after a crash. Keys 1–5 switch palettes only while no prompt is open. Passwords and questions remain owned by Plymouth.
