Apps for creating plugins

[Elmana4321]

Hello, good day. Today I would like to ask which is the best application for creating plugins. How to edit textures, code, etc.

Agradezco mucho la ayuda, quiero hacer un plugin

You can use Ibis Paint. It's a pretty good app for beginners.

Hello, good day. Today I would like to ask which is the best application for creating plugins. How to edit textures, code, etc.

For me, (unless if you have a laptop), here's my setup and some recommendations:
Graphics:
- Photopea.com (I use this for graphics.)
Coding:
- Visual Studio Code (I use this)
- Notepad++ (which I personally recommend as a reliable and a lightweight option)
- Notepad (added into every laptop with Microsoft unless otherwise.)

(You just need to be able to read and edit the .json and .manifest files manually, so a text editor would be fine. Though, code editors do provide syntax corrections on .JSON files, which is REALLY helpful. I think there's also text/code editors for mobile too. Like TrebEdit, but I think it's specialized in HTML... But it should work for JSON, I hope.)
Other Resources:
- Animation Dev Tool by @dnswodn for where to apply animations on your frames.- The Plug-In Creator Website by @JustAnyone to facilitate the entirety of the JSON code (or most of it.)

And if you're a bit unfamiliar with JSON syntax or how plug-ins work at all, don't worry... There's a lot of tutorials... Like this one from TheoTown_Socials here on this forum, where I finally understood how to make a plug-in.

Also, whenever I post my own plug-ins, I always leave out the JSON in the open for people to observe how it works. That way, they can learn how to apply categories, make a structure explode an entire plot of land to rubble when left on fire, adjust performance, apply animations (even though it can go wrong sometimes), and most importantly... Making the plug-in work.

...You can copy it, though it's better if you can dissect and see if you can reverse engineer it. It's the graphics that the most tedious part.

I had fun with that... And you will too. You can do it, fellow user!

...Sorry for inundating you with so much recommendations... But I'd like to support a fellow plug-in maker, in the making as well!

For example, is there an application I can use for Android, I mean, to create the JSON?

Ah @Elmana4321, you set your width to 0.

It should've been both 1x1.

width: 1
height: 1

1 x 0 is not possible.
