    Hello, everyone, I made this a long time ago (3-4 years) for a game and well the project is dead and no longer needed so here it is. It is pretty basic but would be a good starting point for you. Feel free to use for whatever you'd like. I needed it for my portfolio anyway :).

    I just glanced over the code and I have to say it's a horrible starting point -.-

    None of the UI components have meaningful names. Everything is hardcoded and all over the place. The configuration of your web resources is better handled by a single config file that also might be located on dropbox and / or other alternative sources for backup. The worst thing that can happen to a launcher is that it suddenly stops working. Especially dropbox had several breaking changes in the past. By outsourcing the config you can change relevant web addresses afterwards. By loading the config from several known locations you could have some fail safe behaviour.
