Speaking aside of novelty of the whole multi-window idea: wouldn't it be cool to implement similar gameplay with more conventional tools, so perfomance isn't affected? I think you can try to expand this idea and make full-blown game of it. Of course if your purpose wasn't solely to implement it as a multi-window app)

The laser the boss shot out was a very similar color to the background, which looks like it’s slicing through the window in the thumbnail. Idk if that was intentional, but imagine if the laser used the desktop wall paper for a texture, regardless of what the texture is, and then used that for the laser to make it look like it’s slicing the window every time it shoots!

Holy shit the engineering you’d need to do to pull this off is incredible!!

[@Tamos40000]

It's actually relatively easy to program, you just need a drawing library with multi-window support. It will let you read and write the position and size of each window you have with simple calls. From that point it's mostly basic math, you calculate each entity position relatively to the screen and if they cross one of the window you display it. You don't even need to worry about synchronizing the windows. The reason why games don't do this is that even if it works conceptually, in practice it's not generally something that would benefit the gameplay in a meaningful way. It's a gimmick, like Psycho Mantis reading your memory card, what's really interesting is the idea and execution rather than the technical side of things.

[@andrewle4989]

I’ve had an idea for a side scrolling shoot ‘em up game where the main three worlds have a theme, with one of them being glitch/computer based. My idea for the final boss was after the dialogue the boss would build up energy, the screen would turn black and then the game would seemingly close. But then four windows would appear on the edges of the screen acting as a floor, walls and ceiling. You would appear inside a small window able to move around normally and then the transformed boss (or maybe a cool mech I haven’t decided yet) would descend from the top of the screen made out of a bunch of windows so you’re playing the game with your desktops in the background.

If you ever make this open source, please let me know! I'd love to know how to make stuff like this Edit: nvm just read description

[@pokefreak2112]

For stuff like this you need to use the win32 API directly. Rendering wise you can think of the game being fullscreen with the separate windows simply drawing parts of the screen texture according to their position/size. Gameplay wise the you keep track of the screen rect, when a bullet leaves this rectangle you kill the bullet and grow the screen in the direction of the bullet. Handmade hero would be a good starting point if you'd wanna learn.

@@pokefreak2112 That's sorta what I saw, especially in parts where the windows merge with each other, but I'm still curious to see the code itself xD
