Cross-platform application launcher example ?

[motorsep]

I am looking for an example of a simple app launcher for Windows/Linux (or if someone can program it for me)

At this stage all I need for it to do is the following:

• User launches launcher.exe
• Launcher opens a standard to OS window with 2 buttons Run Game and Quit
• If user presses Quit, launcher quits.
• If user presses Run Game, the launcher executes game.exe in the same folder as launcher, minimized itself.
• If game's exe isn't found, launcher pops error window saying "Game's executable isn't found" with Ok button, which closes the error window and goes back to launcher's window.
• When user quits the game, and game's binary is no longer in RAM, launcher automatically quits.
• If the game crashes (or anything other than normal exit), launcher doesn't quit, and instead pops an error window saying "You game crashed or terminated unexpectedly" with Ok button.

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Have a look at the "Fluid Launcher Demo" in Qt's documentation, it should give you a good starting point.

Hope it helps

Thanks, but isn't it for mobile apps only?

The GUI part was designed with mobile in mind but the core logic is the same
