Yes i literally just got it functional and have a trillion things to do before I make the plugin page look nice. BUT IT WORKS. try it there. incorporate it in to your games. make it so, after someone brings their kitty thru your long and arduous tasks, they get a score and let them enter their name and add it to your leaderboard which is on one of your tabs. stuff like that. I made it pretty easy to use I think. Uses node.js back end on Glitch and will adapt as we break it, lol. requires the barest tiniest javascript but so tiny that if you don’t know js just ask how to get it on your generator.

it is highly duplicatable. if you want to make it look nicer and be the master of it’s page, feel free.

literally just [leaderboard(leaderboardsettings)] to place the leaderboard and to add an entry, allo.leaderboard.add(score,name)

    Yeah, the leaderboard plugin definitely needs some more updates, although I could make some code to remove the extra colons and add a bunch of extra features onto it.

    Also an important tip for making plugins: Make sure that you add guarantee for backwards compatibilities when updating plugins. When someone already used your plugin with the old syntax (for example, passing options directly through parameters) and you decide to move on to using lists to pass the options in, make sure you keep both because generators using either syntax won’t most likely break even when you’ve moved to the new one. Same when you’re going to remove/replace certain features with a new one. Although if you really want to move it and wanted to remove the old one soon, you can mark them as “deprecated” first so users will get warned about their generators will break if they still use the old syntax for your plugin. (I also might create a separate post for this later)
