I just recently made an incredibly simple idler myself using the Steamworks API. Just calling SteamAPI_Init with a text filesteam_appid.txt containing the game's app ID in the same folder as the executable will tell Steam the game is running. Make sure to call SteamAPI_Shutdown when you close the application as well, and that's pretty much all that's needed for a simple idler
