Hey! Figured I haven't posted this on Lemmy before so should be OK to share here in case anyone else finds this cool/interesting.

This is a rofi plugin for launching your games, simple as that. I built it both because I think it looks cool and to make launching the game I know I want to play faster (no need to navigate the dreaded Steam UI). It parses games from several sources, such as Steam, Heroic Games Launcher, Lutris and Bottles, as well as some modded Minecraft instances (check out the readme for instructions).

The repo can be found here, and there's an AUR package available for Arch users.

Let me know what you think! I haven't built all that much but this my favourite tool that I've created (I am addicted to games).

No sorry - looks like the link didn't get set. It's at https://github.com/Rolv-Apneseth/rofi-games

Link should be set on the post now

Edit: I understand now - can't have the image AND a link - moved the link to the body of the post to keep the image

This is well cool! You should totally repost this into gaming related communities.

Yeah good idea, might cross post to [email protected]

This is super cool! As a user of rofi, heroic, and steam I'll be checking this out later

Awesome, hope you like it (and it works lol). It's easy to install on Arch as I created an AUR package but a bit more involved for other distros, as you'll need to clone the repo and use just to install. I should probably look into releases with the plugin file already compiled...
