Features

• Supports multiple game platforms - Windows, Linux, Mac, Android.
• Define folders as game libraries and sync them with online game database providers.

• Comes with a rich filter system that allows filtering games by various parameters and combining filters using boolean and, or & not operators.
  • Can be used to create reports on your game collection.
• Supports IGDB.com, GiantBomb.com & OpenCritic as providers
  • IGDB & GiantBomb require an account for an API key.
• Choose between a beautiful wall display or a functional list display.
• Add tags (labels) to games.
• Comes with a duplication detection tool.
• Supports updating game information from providers, so you always have the most up-to-date game information locally.

Build Distribution:

gradlew dist

Prerequisites: JDK 8 only, does not support any of the later JDKs.

The distribution will be under project root in dist folder and will contain a standalone copy of your JRE.

You can copy the distribution anywhere you like, it's portable & self-contained.

Build Distribution with Installer

gradlew dist -Pinstaller on Windows.

It will generate a native windows setup file in app/javafx/gamedex-javafx-app/build/GameDex_{version}.exe

Run Distribution

On windows: dist\GameDex.exe

Run Demo Application

gradlew runDemo

The demo application is intended for development purposes, but you can use it to play around with GameDex without affecting any real world data. It generates a game database filled with randomly generated games and all providers are replaced with fake servers that emulate them.

You can also run the demo application from the IDE - app/javafx/gamedex-javafx-app/src/test/kotlin/com/gitlab/ykrasik/gamedex/javaf/TestApplication.kt

Run Tests

gradlew test

For tests to pass, you need to have the following entries in a gradle.properties file:

systemProp.gameDex.giantBomb.apiKey={yourApiKey}
systemProp.gameDex.igdb.clientId={yourClientId}
systemProp.gameDex.igdb.clientSecret={yourClientSecret}

This is because contract tests for providers require real credentials to work.
