Intro to KSP Plugin Development???

[seannybgoode]

Hi all,

I'm looking to develop some plugins for KSP, mostly something that I feel should be simple, but I can't find any basic info anywhere:

1. Where is the API?? I found a partial API on the wiki page, but it had very little on it.

2. Can I load the API into visual studio so it recognizes the classes I'm trying to use?

3. Compiler guidelines. Any rules for compiling the code into plugins? I noticed they're in .dll format.

Cheers and thanks for the help.

Okay well, I found this thread, which is great. I'm all setup in VS, and I can see the KSP class libraries and stuff.

Now my problem is, I'm new to Object Oriented Programming, so what does the code structure of a plugin look like? Does it have a main method like an application would? How does the flow of control work?

Plugins being distributed here on the forums are required to include their source code. Download a few and see for yourself.

Just remember, don't use someone else's code without permission.
