# Game center tools
This repository contains some opinionated scripts that I wrote for my specific purposes:
* headless Linux gaming system streamed to my TV set via [Sunshine](https://app.lizardbyte.dev/Sunshine/)/[Moonlight](https://moonlight-stream.org/)
* no keyboard, only a Bluetooth gamepad connected directly to the gaming system
* XFCE desktop environment
* Steam Big Picture as main UI
## Gamepad battery notifications (`gamepad-power`)
Dependencies: `notify-send`, `udev`, mounted sysfs on `/sys`
A little systemd service that monitors battery-powered gamepads and sends notifications when the battery charge changes.
Notifications are sent using `notify-send` which must be installed on the system. Battery status detection requires a
mounted sysfs in `/sys` and `udev` running.
Run `make && sudo make install` to install the shell scripts and a systemd unit for the user daemon. After that, enable it:
```shell
systemctl --user enable --now gamepad-power.service
```
Note that in order to start the service automatically at login time you need a desktop environment that supports systemd
and `graphical-session.target` (XFCE is **not** one of them, I had to make it work in some other way). You can also
start `/usr/local/bin/gamepad-power` in whatever way you prefer.
## Steam compatibility tools updater (`steam-compat-updater`)
Dependencies: `notify-send`, `curl`, `tar`, `gunzip`
This is a script that will update Steam compatibility tools (currently only [GE-Proton](https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom)).
Just run it under the same user you also run Steam with and it will use desktop notifications (using `notify-send`) to
notify upgrades or errors. If no upgrades are found, no notifications are displayed.
> Please note that if Steam was running during an upgrade, it needs to be restarted to detect the upgrade.
Run `make && sudo make install` to install the shell script and a systemd unit for the user daemon. After that, enable it:
```shell
systemctl --user enable --now steam-compat-updater.service
```
Note that in order to start the service automatically at login time you need a desktop environment that supports systemd
and `graphical-session.target` (XFCE is **not** one of them, I had to make it work in some other way). You can also
start `/usr/local/bin/steam-compat-updater` in whatever way you prefer. This script is not a daemon and just runs once,
does the upgrades, then exits - it is intended to be run once at system startup.
