Author words:

WinBoat is an Electron app which allows you to run Windows apps on Linux using a containerized approach. Windows runs as a VM inside a Docker container, we communicate with it using the WinBoat Guest Server to retrieve data we need from Windows. For compositing applications as native OS-level windows, we use FreeRDP together with Windows’s RemoteApp protocol.

Features

  • Automated Installs: Simple installation process through our interface – pick your preferences & specs and let us handle the rest
  • Run Any App: If it runs on Windows, it can run on WinBoat. Enjoy the full range of Windows applications as native OS-level windows in your Linux environment
  • Full Windows Desktop: Access the complete Windows desktop experience when you need it, or run individual apps seamlessly integrated into your Linux workflow
  • Filesystem Integration: Your home directory is mounted in Windows, allowing easy file sharing between the two systems without any hassle

Atollo

From the Author words:

Atollo is an exploration game built on the PICO-8 platform, where players explore a procedurally generated world.

The development of Atollo required overcoming PICO-8’s strict CPU and memory limitations, challenging me to optimize algorithms and systems to ensure seamless gameplay. By leveraging these constraints, I created a visually engaging experience with complex procedural animations that bring the game’s dynamic world to life.
