Hey guys,
Not really a question, just thought I'd share how I made a "desktop client".
People are creatures of habit. i.e. most of my friends are used to play on PokerStars, using their desktop client.
So, logging into a website and playing online, didn't give them the "feel" they were looking for.
Solution:
1. Create a portable chrome
2. Create the following batch file -
pokermavensite.bat:
@echo off
start "" "%~dp0\client.exe" --content-shell-hide-toolbar --suppress-message-center-popups --app=http://www.yourpokermavensite.com:8087
3. Run "batch-to-exe" (open source, readily available on google) on said batch file.
4. Pack it up using NSIS & HM NSIS EDIT.
And there you have it. You've just created a "desktop client".
Hope this helps.
