Plugin category: building plugins

Suggested name: Plugin builder


What I want: there is a game maker called scratch (www.scracth.mit.edu) which allows you to make simple games by dragging and dropping control blocks from a menu. You can design sprites, backgrounds, but most of all you can learn basic programming from a very young age. So, to my point. I think it would be good if it was possible to make something like this for Bukkit, allowing almost anyone to make simple-fairly complex plugins for servers.

I hope you understand and consider my suggestion.

 

Possible, but it wouldn't be a plugin.

 

No drag and drop, but you should look at VariableTriggers

 

Yes you can make your own plugin with this plugin you write scripts on events and areas and blocks to do what you want.

Its an amazing thing.

 

I think it's a very good idea, for people who don't understand Java!(like me)

 

Has anyone here used scratch? It's probably the simplest programming tool ever, and if there was one for plugins then it would be very useful.

 

You should also take a look at Skript. It doesn't have any GUI like Scratch does, but it is likely more intuitive to use than VariableTriggers.

 

I found this great program for making Minecraft mods without code, there should be something like that for Bukkit plugins. The program is called 'MCreator.'

 

ok i11

 

I would love too have this because I don't really even count as a noob with java. I often need plugins made and the plugin request section is often too hard

 

I would find this extremely useful. There could be a simple GUI where a person could have 3 columns. The left column is the list of all of the classes. The middle column is where a player could move around the boxes (the classes) by clicking and dragging. The right column would be where a person would be able to view all the available options to edit. This is just a vague idea and I most likely don't know what I am talking about.

I'd love to see this become a tool to use to create plugins. This is a great idea

 

While cool to see, I encourage people to just pick up the API yourself and start hacking away at it. Starting with the plugin API to build stuff (even if it's your very first time touching code) is a great idea because it has an obvious use-case, is very fun and rewarding, and will teach you a lot about Java and coding in general. Learned to code is something you will NEVER regret. Even if you don't use it in your career, it makes understanding the people who do a hell of a lot easier, and they will LOVE you for it.
