Is anyone at Scirra able to do something simple like getting all the plugins into source control?

Something similar to GitHub, or Codeplex, whether it uses Subversion, Git, TFS, or the like, I've really got to say that despite everyone's excellent plugin enthusiasm, the plugin forum is a really dreadful place for any professional, seasoned developer, to get plugins.

I'm doing a company evaluation of the product, and despite that the product is excellent, the lack of plugin 'Hello World' type of things, with an ordered resource of community contributions, starts to make it difficult for me to think that if we do adopt the product, that our own users will easily be able to create plugins themselves.

I mean this entirely positively despite that I feel like I have wasted a day trawling this forum looking for something simple.

Kind regards,

Anthony

Thanks chaps, brilliant!

Hiya Rex!

I'm afraid the plugin seems a little buggy on Windows 8 ~ I get an error "Can not find C2 folder" in the bottom panel despite having selected it.

Is there an alternative way of getting the video plugin?

Hi!

My specific question is "Is anyone able to give me a fast-track introduction to both the 3rd party video plugin, and how a third party can create their own plugin?"

The background to my question is:

I am having immense difficulty finding information about:

(1) a specific plugin (Video); and (2) SDK Reference that clearly illustrates the plugin interface, and guide on how to create a 3rd party one.

The manual says :"Javascript programmers can make new plugins (and behaviors) using the Javascript SDK."

Indeed, the manual refers to the SDK Reference 4 times (with a link in it) but none of the links work:

"See the Javascript SDK documentation for more information."

The manual also refers to the word plugin 66 times and yet there's no third party guide as implied should exist, vis-a-vis:

Plugin and Behavior SDK

Javascript programmers can extend Construct 2 with their own plugins and behaviors. See the Javascript SDK documentation for more information.

Plugins

Plugins define a kind of object. For example, a Sprite is a kind of object, and the Audio object is a different kind. These are defined by the Sprite plugin and Audio plugin respectively. (etc)

Is anyone able to give me a fast-track introduction to both the 3rd party video plugin, and how a third party can create their own plugin.

Kind regards,

Anthony

I have the same question and this was asked on 2 Jan, hasn't the moderator seen it?
