Game Launcher Script README

This repository contains a Python script for a simple game launcher tool that allows users to add, remove, and launch games. The script uses command-line interaction to manage a list of games and their corresponding executable directories.

How to Use

1. Installation: No installation is required. Simply download or clone the repository to your local machine.

2. Prerequisites: Ensure that you have Python 3.x installed on your system.

3. Run the Script: Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the script is located. Run the script using the command:

   python script_name.py
   

   Replace script_name.py with the actual name of the script file.

4. Interaction:

   • Upon running the script, you'll see a list of existing games (if any) and options for adding, removing, and launching games.
   • Use the provided numbers to select an option:
     • 0: Add a new game to the list.
     • -1: Remove a game from the list.
     • Numbers corresponding to existing games: Launch the selected game.

5. Adding a New Game:

   • To add a new game to the list, select option 0.
   • Enter the name of the game.
   • Provide the directory of the game's executable.
   • If the directory is invalid, you'll have the option to change the directory or cancel the addition.

6. Removing a Game:

   • To remove a game from the list, select option -1.
   • Enter the number of the game you want to remove.

7. Launching a Game:

   • To launch a game, select the corresponding number associated with the game in the list.

8. Persistence:

   • The list of games is saved to a file named games.p in the Documents folder (USERPROFILE/Documents).
   • This ensures that your game list is preserved across sessions.

9. Credits:

   • The script was created by "SHINNI". The "MADE BY SHINNI" message is displayed in red at the start of the script.

10. Note:

• The script uses Python's built-in subprocess module to launch game executables.
• Use this script responsibly and only with games and directories you trust.
