GameDrawer Launcher Plugins

Lua plugin that detects installed games for different launchers

This plugin grabs games from multiple launchers and consolidates them, with the ability to launch them. It also grabs banners and other information. The list of things that it grabs is as follows:

appID - The unique identifier for the game
lastPlayed - When the game was last played
appName - The full name for the game
installed - Is the game installed
hidden - Should the game be hidden
appPath - THe path to launch the game
bannerURL - The URL to download the banner
bannerName - What the banner name will be saved as
launcher - what launcher is the game using

All the games from all launchers will use this standardized format. If any changes need to be made, all of the scripts will be adjusted to accomodate them.
