To create a desktop shortcut to say a script that starts a game, you just need to create a softlink. A softlink is Linux speak for a shortcut. To do this, open a terminal in the games/applications folder and type the following:
ln -s script ~/Desktop/shortcut_to_the_script
To break that down, ln -s means to create a link (ln) of type soft (-s).
The script is simply the script you want to link and shortcut_to_the_script is the name of the shortcut as it will appear on your desktop. The ~/Desktop/ is the path to your Home directory (~) and then of course the Desktop folder in there.
