Hello! I'm learning Javascript now and I'm trying to learn fast. Obviously, I'm not anywhere near pro enough to make a real plugin, but I just think that understanding the steps in the process and how the whole things works might further my understanding of programming and Javascript. Are there any good tuts out there? Anyone care to explain how it works?

I really appreciate it. Thank you!

Read the SDK and source code of official plugins. I started at bullet behavior (a long time ago), and my first plugin is rotate behavior.

The first page of the SDK manual page contains the first steps about JS.

Then, in regards to making plugins, you can check out the template that Scirra provides. It is a skeleton of the required files/structures that you then fill with your own content/JS accordingly to the plugin you want to make.

Checking out already existing plugins/behaviors (those packaged with Construct2) is also a great help.

Finally as far as tutorial goes : https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/352/plugins-roll-your-own-with-the-javascript-sdk
