# How to use Spyric plugins

Currently all of Spyric Games' plugins that are publicly available can be found from Spyric Games' GitHub page. The plugins can be found inside the spyric folder located inside each respective plugin's repository.

In order to use a plugin, you just need to copy the plugin file that you want to use to your project's root folder and then require the plugin.

If you need help with using any of the plugins, feel free to create a new topic at Solar2D Forums or give us a shout at Solar2D Discord Channel.

At the current time, most of the plugins created by Spyric Games are closed source and exclusively being used in client projects or in our own projects. Some of these exclusive plugins may be made available for other Solar2D developers in due time, pending community interest.

List of private/exclusive plugins:

  • BitmapFont: Create, stylise and animate bitmap fonts even easier than standard text display objects.
  • Block Touch: A simple universal approach to blocking all tap and touch events without needing to worry about specifics.
  • Collisions: A simple utility plugin that automatically handles (and shows) collision filtering.
  • ComposerX: A stripper down version of Solar2D's built-in Composer library with several improvements.
  • Delta Time: A highly performance optimised delta time plugin that doesn't require constant function calls.
  • JoyPad: A joystick+gamepad, which offers easy to use, truly cross-platform touch & keyboard controls.
  • Mouse Hover: Detect when the mouse cursor is hovering over certain display objects.
  • Progress Ring: Create progress ring/wheel that can count up or down, and fire events. A purely vector implementation with no dependencies or masking required.
  • Radial Menu: UI tool for creating radial menus in Solar2D with a single function call.
  • Resolution: Makes using dynamic resolutions in Solar2D desktop builds quick & easy.
  • Shadow Engine: Creates shadows dynamic & customisable, real-time shadows for Solar2D display objects.
  • Weaver: A Twine 2 & Yarn story file interpreter that makes developing story driven games and dialogue quick & easy.
  • Widgets: Similar to Solar2D's own widget framework, but much faster & simpler, as well as more dynamic.
  • etc.

All Spyric plugins are optimised for performance. All of these plugins self-contained and have no other external dependencies.
