gollark: If you compile a C program or something (I think this game is written in C++) you can then send someone the compiled binary and it'll run anywhere with the right architecture, OS and libraries.
gollark: What? No, it's machine code, it'll happily run on any x86-64 computer with Linux and probably some libraries.
