# What is CasualOS?
CasualOS is an open-source, online coding platform designed for the easy creation of web-based 3D, mixed reality, and collaborative experiences ([GitHub](https://github.com/casual-simulation/casualos)).
The non-profit [CasualSimulation](https://github.com/casual-simulation/casualos) hosts free servers for students to create experiences on. Servers can quickly be instanced by visiting <https://ab1.bot>. By default, they are hosted locally on your machine but can be launched in the cloud if you sign up for an account on ab1.bot. Accounts are provided and managed by [PRIVO](https://www.privo.com/about-us), which keeps your data private and allows ensures parents or guardians manage account permissions.
## Where Can I Learn More?
I have created an [interactive tutorial](https://ab1.bot/?ask=tutorial) on CasualOS that can be played through to learn the basics.
I also have listed out examples of things I've made below, and random snippets & processes I use in the [[! knowledge base|knowledge base]] for you to reference.
You can also explore the [CasualOS docs](https://docs.casualos.com/) for the "Pillars of CasualOS" (theory behind and ideas for using the platform) as well as full documentation for all of the platform's functionality.
# My Eggs
> [!FAQ] What are eggs?
> When you publish work in CasualOS, it is stored in an "egg," which can later be "hatched" to re-create its contents.
> Some of my eggs are hosted on sites other than ab1.bot, but they all can be downloaded from those other environments and then dropped into ab1.bot
