Launcher
The Ren'Py launcher is mostly documented in other portions of the manual. This page contains information about the launcher that doesn't fit anywhere else.
Projects.txt
If a file named projects.txt exists in the projects directory, it's expected
to contain a list of full paths, one per line. These paths are treated as if
they were inside the projects directory, and projects they contain show
up in the launcher.
No Launcher Links
If a file named no_launcher_links.txt exists in the Ren'Py base directory (the one with
renpy.exe, renpy.sh, and renpy.app in it), the launcher will disable links to renpy.org. While
not guaranteed, this is intended in educational and homeschool environments to prevent young
Ren'Py users from seeing adult sponsors.
