Follow these instructions in order to run this app:
- 1. Downloaded this application in your PC.
- 2. Enter in our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 3. Upload this application in such filemanager.
- 4. Start any OS OnWorks online emulator from this website, but better Windows online emulator.
- 5. From the OnWorks Windows OS you have just started, goto our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 6. Download the application and install it.
- 7. Download Wine from your Linux distributions software repositories. Once installed, you can then double-click the app to run them with Wine. You can also try PlayOnLinux, a fancy interface over Wine that will help you install popular Windows programs and games.
Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

The Arcade Learning Environment
DESCRIPTION
Arcade Learning Environment (ALE) is a widely used open-source framework that wraps hundreds of Atari 2600 games via an emulator and presents them as RL environments for AI agents. It decouples the game/emulation aspects from the agent interface, providing a clean API (C++, Python, Gymnasium) so researchers can focus on agent design rather than game plumbing. This environment suite has been central to many RL breakthroughs, including value-based agents, deep Q-nets, and general-agent benchmarking, because the Atari games span many genres and present diverse learning challenges (pixels, actions, delayed rewards). The repository supports multi‐platform build (Linux, macOS, Windows), vectorized execution of games, Python bindings, Gymnasium registration, and a large set of game ROMs bundled for convenience. While its rendering may not match modern 3D environments, its importance lies in reproducibility, benchmarking, and the fact that many RL baselines and papers reference ALE.
