    Is it possible to create a Unity based program that doesn't have a screen? By this, I mean, just build a game that will execute work to the GPU through compute shaders and then save the results without ever opening a window. Well, maybe a console window at worse, but like I said, I don't actually need a game screen.
     
  2. You probably want to research the "batchmode".

    Thanks, I kind of had already figured out that it would be that. But, since I haven't gotten around to testing it, I didn't post anything. I was about to test it when I figured I should check the forum to see if anyone responded. That said, it's good to know that there's a good chance that I'm thinking along the correct lines before getting started.
