How can I run this on Ubuntu (or Linux in general)? I'm not familiar with C# or Mono. Any ideas?

Timwi commented

I’m not familiar with Mono either, but it should work just fine if you install Mono and run it (pass it the exe file). Esoteric IDE doesn’t use any features that aren’t fully supported by Mono to my knowledge.

Running the exe with Ubuntu's default Mono gives a unhandled System.IO.FileNotFoundException. This is solved here by installing mono-complete. I tried it and it solved that error, but now I get a unhandled System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException. Any ideas?

Here are some relevant bits of the stack trace:

The exception stacktrace suggests this is a bug in Mono’s handling of file-embedded resources.
