Well......I can survive zombies.......I can get away from the hoards for them......I can fuck survival from complely damage to most for my body and heal my self complety......but one GODDAM BEE CAN KILL ME and i can not do shit to it!

AKA my first real try at this and i will keep play, I just love this sout for game, Keep up the good work Whales.

At least you don't have to deal with the Windows bug where hundreds of giant bees or wasps randomly appear and swarm you. 

Makes me wish Whales hadn't fixed that fire bug where burning a book would obliterate the map. It would be very nice if I dropped some sort of book of cosmic horror I found in a lab somewhere, set fire to it, and burn with the creatures assailing my character.

So yeah, I made a video of following the instruction in this post at the Cataclysm forums to setup VirtualBox with a pre-configured Linux for playing Cataclysm. I may do a lets play of the game later and if so I will post when I upload the videos here.

Video is Here

Cool Akhier!  Hopefully people will find this useful.  Thanks for making the video!

   Glad to, it was interesting to figure it out and setup. I was kind of hoping to have to do it the hard way though so I could learn how. Maybe later I will do something with a more interesting Linux setup in VirtBox.

Hey folks, I'm using the VirtualBox method to run this on Windows, and I'd like to try my hand at modding.  Where does the VirtualBox download/update actually put the files?  Since I have to tell it to compile, I assume it downloads the whole source code.

If your using the Tinycore VirtBox it is all in the Cataclysm directory so a quick cd Cataclysm then ls and you will see that all the files are there.

Spoiler: Edit: picture (click to show/hide)

In the above picture you can see the main directory which contains Cataclysm and some scripts. Then as I said a quick cd into Cataclysm and ls will show you all the files and such. In the main directory you may not have the debug script as that is something you have to make yourself.

No, I mean where are they stored on the harddisk?  So I can open them?  And "cd cataclysm" returns a "-sh: cd: can't cd to cataclysm" error anyway.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Capitalization matters...

As for on the hard disk do you mean the Tinycore hard disk? Cause if you do thats where it is, in the folder Cataclysm. If you mean on your actual computers hard disk then I have no clue.

If you mean where you can find them through windows, they are inside a special VirtualBox thing. So you can't really.

The "Tiny Core Linux.vdi" file you downloaded is a Virtual Disk Image; it is the hard drive for the virtual machine. All the files you downloaded and all the files included with it to start with, are safely ensconced within the file, and are formatted in a Linux file system that Windows doesn't really have a hope of reading by itself.

As far as I know the only way to manipulate the data outside of the tools and programs already present on the machine, is to follow the instructions here under "Setting up FTP and SSH". That way you can connect with an FTP client, and directly transfer files into or out of the virtual disk.

This game is great but is there any way to make it Fullscreen?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

There is not, 25x80 is as big as you get unfortunately.

[Flying Dice]

Not really much point, either, as that would just leave you with a screen full of empty space around the same view.

Game centered with black around it would be better for my eyes and i'm not gonna put black Desktop Background xD
