"Foundation" - Common APIs and Plugin Infrastructure Manager

[ButterDev]

Okay, to breathe some life back into Foundation, we need the Core API done first, then probably administration (Ban, Kick, etc.) After that, econ, RPG, and Essentials’s /kittycannon .

[Exstar]

@ButterDev Let’s do it! I’m going to setup a CI.

[ButterDev]

Cool! ~notenoughchars~

[Exstar]

Currently setting up a website, it’ll be online tomorrow.

[adrian_hornung]

Good job - please post the link as soon as possible

[Exstar]

The website is online at http://foundationdriven.github.io/. The homepage stays in sync with the Github organisation, which i think is really cool . However, it’s far from done. I’m also still looking for a decent webhost.

[ButterDev]

Can I add a cool JS blog platform I found? It’s called Ghost and we could announce releases on it.

[Exstar]

Sure, that’s cool

Update: i’m currently working active on Foundation, i’ll be finishing the module loading as soon as possible.

Scripting

There are a lot of requests for scripting in plugins. With Foundation, implementing a scripting engine is very easy to do. Instead of having a lot of interpreters running on your server, Foundation will handle all scripts per plugin. We’re going to include interpreters for Javascript, Python and Lua, and the engine will be able to compile these scripts into Java class files, so the performance will be optimized, instead of having multiple interpreters running on your server.

World Manipulation

You’re able to implement things like Cuboid selections and Polygon selections in your plugin, manipulate blocks, generate structures ingame (Dynamic Structure Generation; DSG) etc. You’re free to do anything you like to do.

I think these features should be in seperate plugins. I prefer modularity and those features are kinda heavy-weight things.

[WetSponge]

I recommend wercker, It’s free in beta.

[Exstar]

@WetSponge Yes, this will be a seperate plugin. I feel that it doesn’t really belongs to the list of core features, so we’re going to do it that way. Also, Wercker looks very nice, so I’m going to give it a try.

[ButterDev]

Yeah, I believe FoundationDriven project Sponge.js is the scripting engine.

[IronManDoesMC]

Lucky you! Good luck coding the spongy sites!

[Exstar]

From now on i’ll be opening issues on the Github repository. These things must be done first, before we move on to the implementation. Any suggestions are welcome ;)!

I’m making a Twitter to go social!
