NonSteamLaunchers ๐
This script installs the latest GE-Proton, installs NonSteamLaunchers under one unique Proton prefix folder in your compatdata folder path called "NonSteamLaunchers" and adds them to your Steam Library.
So you can use them on Desktop or in Game Mode.
Features โ
- Automatic installation of the most popular launchers in your Steam Deck ๐ฎ
- Handle automatically the download and installation of your chosen launchers โ
- MicroSD Support ๐พ This script supports moving the entire prefix to a microSD. The script will install launchers and games to your SD card, and the launchers in Steam will point to the SD card installation. This allows you to save internal storage space on your Steam Deck!

Find Games
Use the "Find Games" button to load [Boilr](https://github.com/PhilipK/BoilR) this will open Boilr for you to set your settings so you can find your games easier.
"NSLGameScanner.service" is also live when you use this script and continues after the script is closed and even works after your Steam Deck has restarted. This works in the background as a service file to automatically add your games to your library on every Steam restart. Currently adds:

* You will simply have to choose which launcher to install and let the script handle the rest. ๐ป No files are left in your "Downloads" they are deleted after installation.
* After running the script, launch Steam on your Steam Deck. You'll find the new launchers in your library under the non-steam tab. Click a launcher to see your installed games from that store, and launch them directly from Steam! If you have downloaded a game inside of your launcher, restart your deck or steam adn the NSLGameScanner.service should add it to your library. Even in gamemode ๐ฅณ

## Development Environment
### Dev Container
Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/). Once installed, a clean dev environment with a Docker container [native to VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/create-dev-container#_dockerfile) is spun up automatically.
* [Command palette](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_command-palette) (โงโP) > Dev Containers: Reopen in Container
* F5 for debug
* May need to select interpreter (e.g., `/opt/venv/bin/python`) first

### Manual Docker Instance
If VSCode isn't present or only the python portion (cf. `__init__.py`) is being worked on, it's possible to just run a Docker container on its own. The container installs the correct version of python and any dependencies (e.g., ipython, rich) in `requirements.txt`.
```bash
# navigate to directory with Dockerfile
cd .devcontainer/
# build image
docker build -t nonsteamlaunchers .
# run container
docker run -it --rm --name=mynonsteamlaunchers --workdir=/app -v $(pwd):/app nonsteamlaunchers bash
# exit container
exit
```
### Python virtual environment
Useful for the python module(s), but extra compared to the [dev container](#dev-container) portion that covers the core shell script.
```bash
# create virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
# activate virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate
# install dependencies
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Additional tooling
Additional tooling includes but is not limited to:
#### asdf
* Install [asdf](https://asdf-vm.com/guide/getting-started.html#_2-download-asdf)
* Usage
```bash
# add python plugin
asdf plugin-add python
# install stable python
asdf install python
# set stable to system python
asdf global python latest
# add poetry asdf plugin
asdf plugin-add poetry https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-poetry.git
# install latest version via asdf
asdf install poetry
# set latest version as default
asdf global poetry latest
```
#### shellcheck
`.shellcheckrc` excludes various [bash language rules](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/Ignore#ignoring-one-or-more-types-of-errors-forever). Useful to control noise vs. legitimate warnings/errors when using the shellcheck extension.
