There are plugin examples on the wiki/docs

Or download the Rama VictoryLibrary Plugin. Delete the functions code and rename the plugin and start your own library

^Don’t do that. You will waste time trying to resolve dependencies, renaming stuff, and so on.

By far the easiest thing to do is to use the new Plugin Wizard. Open the “Plugins” window, and click on the green “New” button to the bottom right. It will open up a wizard showing you several plugin templates to choose from.

This thing basically covers it up.

^That is outdated. Use the wizard instead.
