What is LaunchMeUp’
In a few words
LaunchMeUp is a program for launching applications on Windows using an easy-to-configure animated interface.
A script will describe the appearance and animations of your application, the user will navigate through different pages that you have created to finally launch Windows command lines, media, etc. with a simple click.
It is not necessary to know the syntax which describes the scripts of the pages of your application, LaunchMeUp offers a zero-code editor allowing the design of your pages very easily.
Operating principle
You will define the appearance of your application via one or more nesting xml scripts (pages). LaunchMeUp will animate this application until the user clicks on one of the elements of the script which will launch a Windows command to run the application you have chosen.
Your script therefore describes a sequence of screens which will follow one another via animations, intros, etc.
Certain pages can be “screen models” which can be used in several places in the application by being customized with what we call variables. Finally, LaunchMeUp can be controlled by keyboard, mouse or joystick (and soon by voice).
The LaunchMeUp community
LaunchMeUp is much more than just a launcher. It also allows you to share the themes you design on the magiczee.com cloud and therefore join a real community.
What does LaunchMeUp consist of?
LaunchMeUp is a set of 3 distinct tools:
-
The player: this is the main program which allows you to run an application previously designed with the editor or retrieved from magiczee.com.
-
The assistant: it is a program in the form of an assistant which will allow you to obtain themes present on magiczee.com, to publish your new creations or to manage the themes that you have already published .
-
The editor: it is a “zero-code” editor used to design themes
The player can be used without the need to log in. However, the assistant and the editor require you to log in, and therefore create an account on magiczee.com (totally free membership).
How to install LaunchMeUp’
The LaunchMeUp installer is accessible on the official website magiczee.com.
The installation is done like any other installation of a program on a window machine.
How to run LaunchMeUp’
When LaunchMeUp is run directly, the program displays a start page allowing access to the different tools: player, assistant, editor.
It is also possible to pass as a command line parameter the path of the script to be executed, which can be a local path or an internet URL, in order to ask the player to directly execute this script.
