Some kind of Launcher I guess

Imagine you have some sort of dedicated game machine with no accessible keyboard and you want to choose between multiple games upon boot That's exactly why I hacked this together; it is by no means perfect but it works for now.

You can control it either with your mouse cursor, or with buttons - whatever you like more (or both)


Running it

Get latest version (currently: 0.1) from the releases page


Configuration

Go check out my example config.json but basically: two lists

  • games which is for, you guessed it, games, has four variables
    • executable - a path to the executable you want to start
    • icon - an icon to be drawn
    • parameters - possible parameters you want your exe to start with
    • text - the title of the card in the launcher
  • misc contains various settings
    • backgroundcolor
    • boxcolor
    • highlightcolor
    • selectedcolor Are all colors, supplied in #RRGGBB
    • threshhold - how far your cursor has to move for an item to change

ToDo

  • have an idea to get back focus for some applications, like starting a vpn through the launcher

I hope that's all, if I forgot anything I might add it in the next commit in a year or so
