| //TODO(skaldarnar): I'm not fully settled on how to model the Platform. I thought splitting this up into two enums | ||
| // for OS and Architecture would help with more type-safe construction of these values, simplify comparison to | ||
| // select the right JRE for a game, etc. | ||
| // | ||
| // On the other hand, the set of supported platforms is so limited, and continuing on a non-supported platform | ||
| // does not make much sense. So, maybe it is better to have a rather restrictive and explicit enum in the form of | ||
| // WINDOWS_X64 | ||
| // LINUX_X64 | ||
| // I'm adding the architecture to this list, as I hope that we'll be able to support old Intel and new M1 Macs at | ||
| // some point in the future, adding the following to the list: | ||
| // MAC_X64 | ||
| // MAC_AARCH64 | ||
| // The biggest drawback of being super-strict here is that development on non-supported platforms becomes | ||
| // impossible where it was just "not ideal" before. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
It think this should be as type-safe as possible. It shouldn't be possible to run the launcher on unsupported platforms unintentionally. Having seperate enums for OS and Architecture allows for greater flexibility in adding new platforms in the future and also makes it easier to significantly differentiate by OS alone where needed. You could also possibly make Platform itself an enum for further type safety.

Nothing should change based on this PR.
Outstanding before merging
The feedback received sounded like we can can move forward with with this mostly as is. I've incorporated the idea of making
Platformand enum itself.
