I've created a .desktop file like this

[Desktop Entry]

Categories=Game;

Name=Mari0

Exec=love-unstable /opt/Mari0/mari0_1.0.love

Icon=/opt/Mari0/icon.gif

Type=Application

And what i want is to get it in the unity launcher under the games category

I first asked how to create a shortcut file and how to get it into the launcher, but now i've created a .desktop file myself. and i'm looking for how to get it into the launcher

Did you try to write bash file for example
just create a file and write this in

#!/bin/bash



cd dir_name; #the dir name to go



love-unstable mari0_1.0.love; #run the soft

then write in terminal chmod +x name_what_you_place
then you can just create a shortcut of that file.
