A game launcher to quickly and easily manage and launch games.

Game Launcher

Welcome to the Game Launcher app! It allows you to add, remove, and launch games with ease. The application is designed to simplify the process of accessing your games directly from one place. It is converted into a standalone executable file for ease of use and distribution.

Use Case

• Lets users organize and manage their collection of PC games.
• Quickly launch my favorite games without navigating through folders.
• Quickly access and test different game versions and builds.

Features

• Add games to the launcher by selecting their executable files.
• Remove unwanted games from the list.
• Launch games quickly.
• Games that are uninstalled, deleted, or moved to another directory will automatically be removed from the launcher.

Note:

• Deleting the games.pkl would remove all the games from the launcher.
• Deleting the gamelauncher circle.png would result in crashing of the launcher. Fix:
  • Copy and paste the games.pkl file somewhere safe.
  • Re-install the Game Launcher app.
  • Now move the copied games.pkl in the installed directory.
