4.2 Sequences

The two responsibilities of a game integrating with the launcher in sequential order:

On installation of the game

• Create .json file
• Add executable location key value pair to .json file

"exec": "C:\\Gala Games\\A Great Game\\agreatgame.exe"

• Add game version key value pair to .json file

"version": 1.0.0

On launch of the game

• Gala Launcher receives launch request
• Gala Launcher will try to find the corresponding .json configuration file in the “games” folder
• Gala Launcher will validate the authentication JWT
• Gala Launcher will check that executable key exists (“exec”)and that it’s path/file exists
• Gala Launcher will run the executable and pass authentication JWT token as the final argument
• Game will validate token that comes from the Gala Launcher and decode it for use
