<span class="chatlog__markdown-preserve">We all want software to be <em>flexible</em>. We want it to work for lots of different users, we want it to adapt to different workflows. We had a fishbowl about <a class="inserted-after" href="../config/" target="_blank">how to design to avoid configuration</a>, and you should read it. But when you can't avoid configuration, how do you do it well?
|
||
|
||
And furthermore, if we want our software to be flexible, for users to be able to adapt it to their needs, what options do we have besides configuration? What other ways are there to make software flexible?
|
||
|
||
And what about <em>extending</em> software? Flexibility is one thing, but some software can be customized so far that it's practically a new program. To what extent is this desirable? And how do we design these extension systems well?</span>

<span class="chatlog__markdown-preserve">Plugins in DAWs are pretty interesting in that the DAW treats them a lot like a black box. Take a synthesizer plugin: as input, it gets a feed of MIDI events, and a <span class="chatlog__markdown-pre chatlog__markdown-pre--inline"><a class="inserted-after" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/mfc/relationship-between-a-cpp-window-object-and-an-hwnd?view=msvc-170" target="_blank">HWND</a></span> to attach its user interface to, and as output it produces a stream of samples. And as long as it supports that interface, the plugin can do pretty much anything it wants! And it often leads plugins to feel like their own little environment separate from the DAW itself.</span>

<span class="chatlog__markdown-preserve">I'd also love an elaboration on the idea of WordPress actions/filters changing behavior, and the "don't modify the core" philosophy. I am a terrible web programmer, and was quite young, but I worked in WordPress for a time and my feeling was always that I had a lot of confusion resulting from the order of plugin installation & precedence. To me it's exactly the text box problem that <span class="chatlog__markdown-mention" title="nakst#1416">@nakst</span> described. How do you deal with it when two plugins both have something to say about a systemic thing, and who goes first/gets control makes a big difference?</span>

|
||
<span class="chatlog__markdown-preserve">So, about modding, I guess what I'm most curious about is how a game creator who wants to allow modding should approach it. I've seen a lot of approaches.
|
||
|
||
<a class="inserted-after" href="https://www.minecraft.net/" target="_blank">Minecraft</a>, as the biggest example, started out without mod support, but was easily able to be modded because it was made in java and the jar file was easily modified. In recent years, another method of user-side configuration which is extremely similar to mods is that of <a class="inserted-after" href="https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Data_pack" target="_blank">Datapacks</a>, which allows you to change the input data to the game (but not add additional functionality in the way that mods do). Other games actively support modding, with examples such as <a class="inserted-after" href="https://playstarbound.com/" target="_blank">Starbound</a> using Lua or <a class="inserted-after" href="https://www.spaceengineersgame.com/" target="_blank">Space Engineers</a> using C#. So there seem to be a lot of ways that people have approached mods.
|
||
|
||
But while the desire for players to add to the game seems to be there, from both developers and their communities, I've noticed that a lot of games which are designed to be modded fall short of the mark. It's certainly difficult to mod compiled games in languages like C++, especially without the source code, but it also opens up avenues of modding that typical modding apis don't actually present, because they effectively modify the game that's running rather than just providing a bunch of input. So the best situations for modding end up being those like minecraft, where nobody put any effort into making the game extensible, but the game is easy enough to modify due to the structure of how it was built.
|
||
|
||
So I'm wondering what ways people would approach the problem of trying to make a game which is compiled in a language like C++, but also able to be modified in ways which are mutually compatible between different mods, and powerful enough to support game-changing behaviors that don't require the game author to anticipate everything that people might want to do.</span>

I think discussing user interfaces of software is quite relevant to all this. One thing that is commonly brought up as an argument in favour of command line tools is that it is often very simple to compose ("pipe") applications to achieve a greater purpose. But with graphical user interfaces the axis of flexibility is quite different: instead the user is treated to things like customizable keyboard shortcuts, or customizable toolbars, menus, etc. </span>

Those programs get invoked when I hit a button in the toolbar, and they have access to the API provided by Paint .NET. By exchanging data through an API instead of through a format, Paint .NET gets an extra layer of abstraction. They can change their internal data structures as long as the APIs still work in equivalent ways. But the downside is now the only programs that can work with their layer format are the ones written to their API. If you make a really robust data format definition, then the user space applications can cooperate just through the standard APIs of an OS.</span>

I view lite as something akin to a large python script; it's meant to be something you modify quickly and without too much concern and if things break hopefully the whole thing is small enough that you'd have a good understanding of why -- the plugin system is based around simply monkey patching lua functions of which the editor's core is built from (with exception of the lower-level rendering and I/O stuff)</span>

<span class="chatlog__markdown-preserve">I think some concrete points of advice I might choose are:
|
||
- You will likely have many different kinds of users, from developers to complete normies - consider building ways for each of them can customize their experience (and for developer systems to feed into normie systems)
|
||
- If you want to make your software extensible, strongly consider how to handle conflicts (and maybe see if you can constrain plugins to avoid conflicts)
|
||
- Don't make your software "floppy" - for any interface you build at any level, try to make decisions for those users that benefit them.</span>

<span class="chatlog__markdown-preserve">overlapping a bit with your points, I'd say
|

- keeping in mind the ecosystem/"food-chain" of extenders, as seen with WP, DAWs, Photoshop
|
||
- keeping in mind scope of responsibility, and making sure you don't leave holes within your responsibilities
|
||
- thinking about granularity of modification, from "change anything at any granularity" to "slap together some plugins"</span>
