BooBoo launcher secret

2026-05-15

The secret to making a custom launcher, like the default BooBoo launcher or the launcher in the Demos download, is this code below. game_name is a directory named of a BooBoo app, e.g. the Demos launcher would use "DOOD" here and DOOD/data would be the game. Just run this code to exit the current process and restart with game_name as the new BooBoo process.

	var cfg
	= cfg (cfg_load "com.nooskewl.launcher.reload")
	cfg_set_string cfg "launch" game_name
	var success
	= success (cfg_save cfg "com.nooskewl.launcher.reload")
	exit 0
