Run and Conf

to run steaL, in your command line type:

steal

after first run, the directory ~/.config/steal will be created it contains 2 files conf.json and library.csv

conf.json has two parameters:

{
    "lib_path": "/home/USER/Games", <-- default path to save the downloaded games is Games dir in your user's home, change it to whatever
    "num_of_cards": "50" <-- number of games displayed in Browse tab
}

library.csv contains info about the games you download { name, cover url and launching script }

Usage

just search for the game you want and downloaded it, wait until it finish extracting {zpaq takes time to extract, be patient}

after it's done go to Library tab and type update in the search bar to refresh your game Library and make new downloaded games appear

to launch a game just click on it

Enjoy!!

Known issues

1- steal takes several seconds to launch, and it freezes for a second when you search for a game, it's all caused by the blocking Api calls that steal makes to fetch the data from the database

i believe it could be solved by implementing the calls in a async way, if you can solve it please contribute and make a pull-request

2- when you download a new game it won't appear in Library tab unless you type update in the search bar or re-start steal

3- the UI is not hte most polished and sexy, in fact it's ugly, so if you can make it better you are very welcome to contribute :3

4- source code is kinda a mess, i'll add more comments when i have time

you could say this is a beta release, it will get better in the future
