GIT repository: http://gitorious.org/opensuse/gamestore

What is done:

• Qt application
• loading JSON, game icons and screenshot from the network (and caching them locally)
• installing new games / uninstalling installed games
• running installed games
• filtering by name, genre, installed/not-installed
• very simple web frontend which serves YMP files (http://gamestore.gk2.sk/)

Future plans:

• implement sync (synchronising game settings with remote server)
• create parser for game hi-score files on server and create hi-score charts visible form the web and game store client
• add hi-res thumbs for each game
• add video preview for each game
