You can use PlayOnLinux, or Wine, for quite a lot of Windows games.

There is a list of supported games for PlayOnLinux here, and a help page for it can be found here.

There is pretty much the same question as yours here, which may be of help.

    @DustyFox: download wine source code at http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine, and study it. It's just 2.5 millions of lines of code, piece of cake. – Rmano Feb 03 '14 at 23:07
  • Okay i see. but how does this make me learn how to code it. im just studying and its pretty jiberish to me. and i evne know java and html lol. – DustyFox Feb 03 '14 at 23:11
  • HTML and Java sadly is probably not enough for a program to copy Windows things - even Wine is not enough for quite a few Windows programs, but that is what Wine is for. As Rmano sort of said, at 2,560,433 lines of code, there is rather a lot of code in Wine. Also, as this demonstrates, 97% of it is written in C, only 1.5% is in HTML, and 3% is in JavaScript. The wine Git repository means you can create your own version of Wine, with your own preferences and bug fixes. – Wilf Feb 04 '14 at 11:08
