# About Steam Idler
Steam Idler is a simple, light program that allows you to idle Steam games without having to keep the Steam client open. It is written in JavaScript and uses Node.js.
# Getting Started
## Prerequisites
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- [Steam Mobile](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.valvesoftware.android.steam.community) (because you need to scan a QR code to log in)
## Installation
1. Clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/JakyeRU/SteamIdler.git
cd SteamIdler
```
2. Install dependencies
```bash
npm install
```
3. Run the program
```bash
npm start
```
# Usage
When running the program for the first time, you will be asked to scan a QR code. This is necessary to log in to your Steam account. After that, the program will automatically idle the game you specified in the config file.
# Configuration
The configuration file is located in `src/games.json`. You can add as many games as you want. The program will automatically idle them all.
Example:
```json
[
381210,
1332010,
105600
]
```
