Linux version?

Open BenCat07 opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

This application looks awesome and useful for me, Issue is: i use linux and steam Works differently there, you launch the executable using "steam -login $LOGIN $PASSWORD" where stesm is located in /usr/bin, Another issue is this being written in C# which is basically windows Only, but i would still love a version for Linux nontheless, lf you do not feel like porting it i can try my luck and will make a pull request.

@BenCat07 Sorry for the late reply.

I've thought about this a bit as someone else has asked me about it before as well. The main issue is pretty much what you said: it's written in C#. I would most likely have to rewrite the entire application in a more cross-platform friendly language like Java. I don't have a problem with Java, but it will probably just take a good chunk of time to get done.

However, after another update or so when the rest of the issues are addressed I will definitely consider a rewrite so users on different platforms can also enjoy the tool.

@rex706 You could just use Mono. Games like Terraria which are also written in C# use it for Linux support.

@Tank-Missile Thanks I will give this a look. Did not know something like this existed.
