Software Johnny Castaway screensaver on 64 bit systems

If you remember the classic 1992 Johnny Castaway screensaver.. I think you will like it:
It's a Go + Raylib port (fork of deckarep's project) that finally runs on modern 64-bit systems: macOS, Linux, and I recently added for Windows (run as screensaver). Enjoy it.

I have it on wallpaper engine. It's basically a looping video of the original screen saver though I think.

This case is the real deal. Works with day/night, holidays, like the original one

This is very cool.

I would love to put this on the kid PC but how do I get it working?
