# Discord RPC # Discord RPC
This is a lib and quick demos that implement the very minimal subset to show current status, and This is a library for interfacing your game with a locally running Discord desktop client. It's known to work on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can use the lib directly if you like, or use it as a guide to writing your own if it doesn't suit your game as is. PRs/feedback welcome if you have an improvement everyone might want, or can describe how this doesn't meet your needs.

Note that the release packages were compiled using Visual Studio 2015, so the [Visual C++ Redistributable for VS2015](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145) will be a requirement for your game. If you wish to avoid this dependency, you should compile the libraries yourself using whatever dependencies are already in your game.

Usually, I run `build.py` to get things started, then use the generated project files as I work on things.
