Steam Compatibility Runtime - LÖVE (Balatro Native Linux)

Quick and dirty because polish isn't my thing. I also didn't know how to make custom Steam Compatibility Tools -OR- what Love2d was beyond a surface level, two hours ago. PRs welcome.

Due to how Steam launches executables, and how AppImageLauncher works, you CANNOT use love-11.5-x86_64.AppImage with Steam IF AppImageLauncher is installed. If using AppImageLauncher, you must unpack the appimage, and edit launch.sh switching from the AppImage to the love/AppRun line for this to work.

YOU -MUST- EDIT launch.sh TO UNCOMMENT ONE OF THE TWO LAUNCHER LINES. IF YOU DON'T BALATRO WILL EITHER NOT LAUNCH, OR SHOW BLACK + PROGRESS BAR THEN CLOSE.

STEP ONE:

• Download AppImage from https://github.com/love2d/love/releases/download/11.5/love-11.5-x86_64.AppImage -- Do not change filename
• Make executable, place in /opt/Applications

STEP TWO:

• Download this repo and copy love-launcher/ to ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/

STEP THREE WITHOUT AppImageLauncher:

• Edit launch.sh to uncomment AppImage run line.

STEP THREE WITH AppImageLauncher:

• terminal:

mkdir /opt/love-11.5
cd /opt/love-11.5
/opt/Applications/love-11.5-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract

• Edit launch.sh to uncomment love/AppRun line

STEP FOUR: Restart Steam, enable Compatibility for Balatro (or other love2d framework games) and select love-launcher

Paths may be changed. launch.sh is the only file to edit.
