🎮 GameLauncher

A customizable game launcher with mod and file management support

---

🚀 Overview

GameLauncher is a custom game launcher designed to provide features that many existing launchers lack. It allows users to:

✔️ Add games from various platforms and locations on their PC
✔️ Manage mods and trainers with a built-in mod launcher option
✔️ Open game directories for quick file access (useful for modding or tweaks)
✔️ Launch games directly from one centralized interface

Currently, I have already built a functional version using Python, but the UI is very basic. My goal is to rebuild this with a better interface and possibly use a different programming language to enhance its design and functionality.

🔹 Better Tech Stack: Possibly switch from Python to a different language for performance and design improvements
🔹 More Features:

• Better sorting/filtering features
• Customizable themes
• Custom Artwork for games

🛠️ Tech Stack (Current & Future)

• Current Version: Python (basic UI)
• Potential Future Tech:
  • C# with WPF / WinUI 3 (for a native Windows experience)
  • Electron (JavaScript) (if cross-platform is needed)
  • Flutter (Dart) (if targeting modern UI design)
