I will admit, making a theme for Jekyll is far simpler especially since I've started working with Symfony which uses Twig Liquid is very similar to Twig so it's incredibily simple for me to get used to. The main thing that drew me to Jekyll is the use of markdown and YAML for everything and I definitely love both of those things using this combination definitely beats writing a WordPress plugin to handle custom data. Don't get me wrong, I still love WordPress and I do plan on contributing to it, but I want to give Jekyll a try. I've been using WordPress since 2009 and it has changed a lot since I started using it. Well I never thought the day would come where I'd move away from WordPress for my personal website. This is C++ so there's no magic setTimeout() function that we can use and there's no API function instead we'll have to make use of the bz_eTickEvent and time_t objects. As an example, a plug-in introducing a custom game mode such as Last Tank Standing will need a countdown for the last 5 seconds of each round and will need to kick a new player at a set interval. BZFlag Plug-ins for Dummies: Chapter 8Ī common task to achieve in plug-ins is to have a countdown or time delayed functionality.

#Bzflag plugins series
For this reason, I'll be putting this series on hold for a while by doing so, it'll allow me to focus on other projects that require my attention.

With regards to the current status of the project, I feel that I have covered enough of the API and plug-in writing to be helpful to new developers. I never expected the BZFlag Plug-ins for Dummies series to get much traffic due to its nature a very small community, few to no developers, etc.
