[Utility] Caster: Program by Voice

[Zone]

I would argue that Caster is a Sponge plugin resource even in its current state. Just because Caster has a wider scope than just Sponge plugin creation shouldn’t subtract from its value used as a resource for creating plugins or the fact that it is a work in progress.

This thread is for posting or finding resources which are designed to assist in the development of Sponge plugins.

What is considered a ‘Resource’?

A resource is anything which does not directly* access the SpongeAPI or require being run as if they were another plugin. These resources should include:

Tutorials
Utilities
Libraries
etc

• Access to any part of the API is allowed, so long as its usage doesn’t require its own @Plugin type initialization.

As per the definition above I believe Castor qualifies as a Sponge plugin resource.

1. Just because Caster does not have a Sponge CCR module does not mean a developer can’t create a sponge plugin using Caster. Think of CCR module as a large collection of snippets and specialized formatting of code triggered by voice shortcuts instead of the physical input of a keyboard. Without a Sponge CCR it would take a lot longer to create a plugin because more voice commands are necessary.

2. Caster allows for the control of the all Officially recommended IDEs by voice.

3. For anyone who is or going to find themselves in a position where they can’t interact with a keyboard and mouse this is the only resource that would allow them to program and in a lesser sense a Sponge plugin.
