Writing a Game Launcher (timelapse)
3This is for an upcoming game, the launcher is entirely optional but I know a lot of people don't like using Github so this is a (hopefully) user friendly stand in for that.
This took me 10 hours in one sitting to do, not to imply I didn't take breaks or anything but I am proud for doing this in less than a day and learning some new things like asynchronous programming, httpclient and how to interact with the github api.
