How hard is it to create a plugin for ASP?

Depends on the purpose of the plugin...

Source code is included with Bez, can be downloaded for asGPS or MathBox, so you can have a look...

cheers

How easy you find it will depend on your coding background. I had a fair bit of experience in scripting languages (Perl, Javascript, Visual Basic), but programming a compiled language like C++ is rather different and it took me quite a while to write a simple plugin. The SDK documentation is anything but an introductory guide on how to create a plugin.

There was a tutorial for the Bibble 5.0 SDK with a sample plugin, but that SDK is rather different to the current one and no-one has created the equivalent tutorial for the ASP SDK. Your best bet would be to get some assistance from one of the experienced plugin developers (not me - I needed a lot of help just to migrate Bez from Bibble 5.0 to ASP).

Plugins that simply change colour and tonality are relatively simple. Plugins that move pixels around or place text on the image etc seem a lot harder to me and not something that I'd recommend attempting first up.
