Development article for Awen's Games Library concept (and other developers assisting him with this with project).
The source of this new concept
Many of these ideas started been discussed in these threads in the XBMC feature suggestions forum:
Games Library Concept
To allow XBMC users to reference and play Games.
Games may have various forms such as Emulated Roms, Standalone Executables, (XBMC plugins ?)...
The idea is not to compete with über roms integrators, but to offer a rich and detailed interface to play from XBMC.
Goals of the new Games Library
- 1) Tight integration
- 2) Detailed information
- 3) Smart behavior
inspired from 1) minimizing the glitches between hard context changes, consistency with other library look'n'feel
inspired from 2) a lot of information about games on the web, description, genre, credits, snapshots, cross referencing, statistics
inspired from 3) suggestion for user, statistics about playing, 'most played' tab
