* Requirements:
  • Install Termux  .
  • Internet / wifi connection.
* This is a general overview of how he did it. With the Termux (terminal emulator for Android) you can't run x86 applications (including almost all games) because it's Linux for ARM processors that allows your phone to run full-fledged Linux. 

* The box86 is a translation layer that allows you to run ARM Linux x86 based applications, but it must be 32-bit, not 64-bit (I tried the 64-bit version, but got a lot of segmentation violation errors).

Firstly

1. Install Termux

2. If your phone uses a 64-bit processor, you can install This script to switch to the 32-bit version of Termux. 

3. Install proot-distro and use it to install ubuntu18.04. 


For ubuntu

1. Download box86, compile, install. 

2. gl4es download, compile and install. This is required for OpenGL to work. You may install the Mesa OpenGL library directly, but it may not be working or it may be less performant than gl4es. 

3. Install TigerVNC and download noVNCThis allows you to stream your game to your browser. I've tried other VNC viewers for Android, but when I try to send input from the virtual controller, it starts all delays. 

4. Download the game (TBOI in this case). You'll have to figure out for yourself where the Linux version of TBOI is. 

5. Start the VNC server and noVNC

6. Trying to run the game multiple times. Check for missing libraries and install them manually.

👀Sadly, it's not easy. But it works and can start other Linux games. I'm sure it's also possible to run Windows applications by adding Wine to the mix. If you try it yourself, please try.
