IDgames Archive Browser

A Flutter application that can search the idgames API and display data (even random) about levels.
With a local mirror (at the moment not automatically generated) of files, can also view textfile, and play it with (at the moment hardcoded) gzdoom.exe.

Purpose

Learn flutter. In particular, the API calls and the UI. If you have any suggestion well feel free to suggest so.

How can I generate a mirror of /idgames?

With ftpgrab (or maybe another application), do this config:

db:
  path: ftpgrab.db

server:
  ftp:
    host: ftp.fu-berlin.de
    port: 21
    sources:
      - /pc/games/idgames/levels/doom/
      - /pc/games/idgames/levels/doom2/
    username: USER
    password: PASS
    timeout: 5s

download:
  output: ./
  retry: 3
  hideSkipped: false
  createBaseDir: true

And wait a couple of hours, the archive is approximately about 17,8 in GB.

You can also sync it with this silly batch call:

.\ftpgrab.exe --config .\config.yml

And maybe modify the win32 calls in the app to reflect your preferences.

This app is utter garbage

I’m sorry. ?
