    I'm looking to create a game launcher and be able to issue updates through it. Is there any way that I can do this for free or manually on my own?

    That is a LOT of extra work and platform-dependent fiddling, compared with just making a main menu and sub-games, then making a full title update when you add more.

    I was considering doing this for some of my games and soon gave it up. For instance, my KurtMaster2D game just gets updated whenever I add or change a game, but those games are all fairly small.

    Is there any way that I could create a desktop shortcut or actually make the game "installed" so that it appeared as an actual program instead of just an exe file?
