What types of things are possible here?
Creating a game that can be played either single player or multi player while your having a conversation? (like Snake, pacman or hangman etc)

Well maybe, but as I read the documentation all that is possible until now is doing stuff as you receive a text...

So maybe you can code your own plug-in to display a window and sending the user by message what action you are doing in the game... if playing tic-tac-toe for instanc:

you would send a message like: tttoe:mark 1
and you would receive from the user: tttoe:mark 3

that is what I understood, but it would be really slow to play something like snake, giving all coordenates and stuff...

Yeah, you could do games like that i suppose but the idea of Plus plugins is that it uses the functions that Plus already has in a customised way to save programming.  For example Plus processes aliases, so you can add aliases easily with the Plus plugins.  I'd quite like a /slap alias like in mirc you irc'ers know what i mean

of course, that too, you can have any aliases kind of irc style... they would have to start with: /x like for instance: /xslap... and I dont think you can modify the aliases that msg plus has much like on mirc...

there are simple things you can do, and I'm sure that later on we should expect more things from it!!

A slap command would be cool.  Anything like that is possible if you know how to make such a feature.  Unfortunately, I don't.

You can already make a /slap command by using Quick Texts......
Just set the following as one of your Quick Texts:

/me slaps (!P) around a bit with a large trout.

Also, make a /slap command alias for this Quick Text.
Then, simply type /slap whatever and voila.

oh yeah

Ah ok, thanks for the info!

Here it is:
The one, the only, the XSLAP 1.0!

héhé, nice plug in...
it would be smarter if it could display random 'slaps'
