Installation

Standard Installation

1. Ensure Python 3.8+ is installed on your system
2. Download the launcher executable or source code
3. Run launcher.py to start the application

Development Installation

git clone https://github.com/DEVELOPERcreatinon/Pintuxx-Launcher.git
cd pintuxx-launcher
python launcher.py

Configuration

Installation Directory

• Default: ./apps/
• Customizable through Settings menu
• Games are organized in [install_dir]/[game_name]/[version]/ structure

Cache Management

• Game metadata cached locally in games_cache.json
• Automatic cache updates when server is available
• Fallback to cached data when offline

Usage

Browsing Games

1. Launch the application
2. Available games are displayed in scrollable cards
3. View game details: name, version, description, system requirements

Installing Games

1. Click "Install" on desired game card
2. Monitor progress in "Active Downloads" section
3. Download supports resumption and parallel downloads (up to 3 simultaneous)

Launching Games

1. Installed games show "Launch" button instead of "Install"
2. Click "Launch" to start the game executable
3. Games run in their respective installation directories

Managing Updates

• Automatic daily checks for launcher updates
• Manual update checks via File → Check for Updates
• Secure update process with integrity verification

Technical Architecture

Component Structure

• PintuxxGameLauncher: Main application controller
• GameManager: Handles installation, caching, and file management
• SecureRequestHandler: Manages HTTP/HTTPS communications
• DownloadWorker: Threaded download operations
• GameCard: UI component for game representation

Security Implementation

• Configurable SSL verification
• MD5 checksum validation for all downloads
• Secure file extraction with error handling
• Protected temporary file management

Update Mechanism

1. Version comparison using semantic versioning
2. Secure download with checksum verification
3. Atomic replacement using batch scripts (Windows)
4. Automatic restart and cleanup

File Structure

├── launcher.py              # Main application
├── apps/                    # Default installation directory
│   ├── games_cache.json     # Local game metadata cache
│   └── [game-name]/         # Game installations
├── launcher.log            # Application log file
└── last_update_check.txt   # Update check timestamp

Error Handling

Network Issues

• Graceful fallback to cached data
• Clear error messages for connection failures
• Automatic retry mechanisms for downloads

File Operations

• Safe temporary file handling
• Proper cleanup on installation failure
• Checksum verification before file operations

Application Errors

• Comprehensive logging to launcher.log
• User-friendly error dialogs
• Recovery from corrupted downloads

Development

Extending the Launcher

• Add new game cards by implementing the GameCard class
• Modify themes through the ModernTheme class
• Extend download protocols in SecureRequestHandler

Server Requirements

• HTTP/HTTPS server hosting games.json
• Structured JSON response with game metadata
• File server for game downloads

Building Executables

Use pyinstaller or similar tools to create standalone executables:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed launcher.py

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Download failures: Check internet connection and server availability
• Launch errors: Verify game executables exist in installation directory
• Update problems: Ensure write permissions for launcher directory

Logs

Check launcher.log for detailed error information and debugging data.
