The Steam Achievement Manager lets you manage achievements, stats, and more for any currently supported Steam app.
This project is a fork of the Steam Achievement Manager project with the goal of updating to .NET Core and WPF.
SAM is comprised of five projects.
SAM and SAM.Manager are the two application projects that create an executable. SAM is the executable that will display your Steam library and let you select an app (game) to manage. When the manager is started, it's passed an ID for a Steam app after which it initializes the Steam API client with that AppID just like any game on Steam would. Steam will show you as in-game, record your play time, and you can earn trading cards (if you have drops left).
The reason why there's two executables is because the manager (SAM.Manager) needs to be in its own process anyways in order to actually manage the achievements and stats. Once a process is registered with the Steam client it's not possible to re-initialize the Client with a different AppID. Steam will also treat you as in-game until that Process and any child Processes have exited.
Both SAM.API and SAM.Core are libraries (*.dll). As its name suggests, SAM.API contains the native Steam API wrappers. SAM.Core is referenced by both executable projects (more on these later) and allows them to both use the same types, resources, etc. without having to duplicate code.
