CDDA Linux Launcher

At the very least, I desire a means to automatically update my CDDA installation on Linux. Ideally I'd like to mimic the functionality of the Windows launcher.

We can pull release data from the GitHub API (https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/releases). The relevant fields in the resulting JSON are:

• .[n]: (n+1)th most recent release

  • .name
  • .published_at
  • .tag_name
  • .target_commitish
  • .prerelease
  • .body (markdown text)
  • .assets[i]

    • .name (includes platform and graphics)
    • .browser_download_url
    • .content_type

The general flow could be:

1. pull release endpoint
2. show release info
3. prompt user for release to install (config graphics/sound)
4. download & extract files
5. copy files to install directory
6. adjust symlinks as necessary

Configuration and installation data can be stored under ~/.config/cllr.
