![image](https://github.com/hexaredecimal/JWM/assets/51314855/30b29d78-8244-471d-90d3-de54eafc6dd1)

## Todo:

> Change the icons.

> Bind apps to their icons

> Fix the memory issues (Atleast improve it)

> Add thread support

## Supported Applications

* WebBrowser

* FileManager

* Text editor (Multiple programming language support)

* MineSweeper

* Math Graph plotter

* Calculator

* Terminal

## Why?

* ### Fun

  >>> When I started this project I had finished writing my exams, so to "relax" I chose to write a desktop environment (Kind of) using the language I'm learning at school... JAVA!

* ### Why Not

  >>> Not every idea is a good one, but an acedemic person, experiments are part of my daily life. So this is an experiment on how performant the JDK is.

## Future?

* ### Kotlin

  >>> Recently picked up Kotlin, I'm loving it. Maybe a Kotlin based rewrite or interop may happen. I don't know... If I get time.

## Contribution

* Feel free to port your java programs to this project. Any program is accepted as long as it is useful and not already there.

* Code improvements are super welcome, coz I kinda suck.
