What is Playnub?
The Playnub plugin is a collection of many general-purpose game development patterns, techniques, and tricks drawn from academia and online resources, as both a tool and a guide for creating games effectively and efficiently. Playnub is designed to expedite game development by providing tons of resources built specifically for rapid prototyping and continuous iteration-- enabling developers to focus on making the games they envision, not on programming the framework necessary to do so.

Features

• New Datatypes
  • Box: pass a reference, not a copy, of nearly any value in your game or in the engine to any other function
  • Box fillers: make your boxed values designer-accessible by exporting pre-defined (or custom) fillers with robust inspector tools
  • Bitset: an array of booleans compressed into ints with bit manipulation logic
  • Module: Turn your nodes into component-based systems
• Telemetry
  • Record continuous variables with just a few function calls
  • Create multiple tables of data
  • CSV and SQLite database support
• Behaviors
  • Action Lists: for creating discrete sequences of events in code
• Interpolation and Motion
  • Control Curves and Envelopes: For controlling precisely how a data point gets from A to B
  • PID Controller: For controlling how a point follows a target using a control system
  • Knockback Effector: Give any rigid body a knockback force
• Randomization
  • Fast normal distribution randomness
  • Complete and deck randomness
  • Weighted randomness
  • Seed setting
  • Seed state recording
• And more!

Disclaimer
Playnub is still in an alpha state. This is a labor of love that I have a limited amount of free time to work on, so please follow the GitHub repository for the latest changes.
