    DSharpPlus

    DSharpPlus

    A .NET Standard library for making bots using the Discord API

    All Nightly versions are available on Nuget as a pre-release. These are cutting-edge versions automatically built from the latest commit in the master branch in this repository, and as such always contains the latest changes. If you want to use the latest features on Discord, you should use the nightlies Despite the nature of pre-release software, all changes to the library are held under a level of scrutiny; for this library, unstable does not mean bad quality, rather it means that the API can be subject to change without prior notice (to ease rapid iteration) and that consumers of the library should always remain on the latest version available (to immediately get the latest fixes and improvements). You will usually want to use this version. The latest stable release is always available on NuGet. Stable versions are released less often, but are guaranteed to not receive any breaking API changes without a major version bump.

    This plugin mimics the "open selected file" in PSPad. I am a PHP developer and i often see an 'require_once("../this/is/some/file.php");'. In pspad you can select the whole path (../this/is/some/file.php) and open it from the menu. Now you can do the same in notepad++. Just select the whole path and press alt+o, or use the button in the toolbar on top. It will open the file automatically. The plugin understands the relative path.

    Basic Computer Games

    Basic Computer Games

    An updated version of the classic "Basic Computer Games" book
