Setup instructions for Python, PyGame, and Games for Linux

I'm thinking this would go into the area of code where it creates a directory if it doesn't exist. After line 15 of src/utils.py and create a function that does the following.

Just create a empty (no games) library.json file in that newly created directory with the following content:

{
  "games": [],
  "directories": []
}

Nice to Have

• When the directory already exists check for library.json and if it does not exist create it.

Problem:
If Space Whiskey is fullscreen, and you launch a game, it may no launch in front of Space Whiskey.

Desired:
Make sure games actually launch in front of the launcher

Issue

Text for descriptions does not wrap

Solution

Devise a solution that does not require an external library that wraps the text at the nearest word

In another repo create a simple game (like a pong clone or space war clone) with the required setup to demonstrate the uses of Space Whiskey

Important

Use PyGame so that no other dependencies are required for a user to give it a spin

Problem:

It looks like popen, or the way we are calling it, is causing linux to just not run the command.

Desired Result:
Running on Windows and Python

Issue

The games when highlighted have a somewhat dinky looking white outline.

Solution

I think that a solid white rectangle and text to black would look much clearer and less cheesy.

Everything is already setup to handle two colors: I'd like to make it possible to add to the config a primary and secondary color

Default:

• Primary: White
• Secondary: Black

Nice To Have

Dynamically modify the banner image to also be whatever primary color you choose

Simple instructions to setting up Python, PyGame, and games on Windows 10

Right now it's dynamically placing things on width/height of window/screen. It needs to scale the viewport so that on bigger screens everything isn't tiny.

Discuss possible versioning strategies. Articles on the subject, past experience, etc.

Open to discussion and input.

Any kind of unit testing that doesn't require an external library: in other words uses whatever is available in the standard library for python

Issue

Right now when a game doesn't launch, you don't get an error in the gui.

Solution

Create a rectangular pop-up explaining what type of error occurred when trying to run a game.
The error should also be logged to the logging file
