API for hobby project

Post by sinkorsink »

I am developing a simple PC game library program similar to Playnite and Steam's library where you can add an exe and start the game from the UI. I hook up my PC to my TV and use a xbox controller to play games. Right now this setup is a pain because none of the solutions I have found work the way I want with the controller so I'm making my own. I'd like to pull the game's box art to display in the UI and basic info like release date and publisher/developer name. I don't plan for anyone other than myself to use this project for now, but at some point I'd like to make it open source so someone else can use it or build upon it.
