"The Goglizer" is the first official release of Dolmades, a wine-powered solution to run Windows apps under Linux.
You can use it to install, manage and run your windows-only GOG games under Linux.

How does it work?
It utilizes lgogdownloader to retrieve GOG account information and generates a recipe which can be used to install and run your favorite win-only games. Therefore the recipe is cooked into a dolmade - a container holding the installed game.

Features
* No installation required, just download & run
* Requirements: Python 2.7 / curl / tar
* Debug and fix a game in case it does not work with vanilla wine
* Isolated from your system: you can't break your games when you update
* Low on disk space? Export your dolmade and reimport some later day
* Optional: desktop file creation, target selector to choose which application to run

Installation
curl -L -o dolmades.tgz https://github.com/dolmades/dolmades-cli/archive/v1.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf dolmades.tgz
cd dolmades-cli-1.0/

Non-GOG Usage Example (this will install the free adventure game "Broken Sword 2.5")
./cook Dolmadefile
./dolmades launch 'Broken_Sword'

GOG Usage Example
# retrieve GOG account information
./goglizer -u
# choose a game in your collection
# this will download all ingredients and generate the recipe
./goglizer -d=flight_of_the_amazon_queen
# cook the recipe
./cook "flight_of_the_amazon_queen:en:1.0.dolmade"
./dolmades launch 'Flight_of_the_Amazon_Queen:en'

List installed games
./dolmades list

Debug a game
./dolmades debug 'Flight_of_the_Amazon_Queen:en'

Deinstallation
# single game
./dolmades del Broken_Sword
# full deinstallation of dolmades
echo "go and delete your desktop symbols manually"
rm -rf ~/.dolmades

Notes
* This is a prototypical implementation and has never been tested except by myself.
* The first run can take between 2-10 minutes depending on your internet connection since the base images are downloaded and these are fairly large.
* Many GOG installers display error messages at the end of the installation progress but the games work anyways.
* Many old games need DirectX9 which you can install using winetricks

Bump.

Not a Linux user but this looks like it could be useful to those who are, nice job :)
