There was a comment here earlier, not sure why it was deleted:

> You have to manage processes, memory and I/O events. Make sure not to leave processes idling for too long, or the user will get really impatient and reboot you!

That was surprisingly fun! It could use some polish; a better introduction to the mechanics, and more steps to get to the whole of the game, but those are details. I like it!

It's a cute puzzle game at this point but it could be so much more. Levels where you're in a smartphone (which means the level is timed), or in the desktop of a home users, or where you're an API box for a SaaS company as it gets hit with a flash sale. And teach operating system concepts by starting with a microcontroller OS level.

Support a touch interface/be a smartphone game.

The irony of playing this as a game is not lost on me. It's like playing an artillery game like gorilla.bas on a computer.
