**UPDATE** : [defold.com/community](http://defold.com/community) is there. We inspire all the plugin makers upload their awesomeness to the brand new Asset Portal. * * * And while we’re working hard on editor and runtime extensions for Defold, there’s quite a bunch of things you can do today. I see lots of the cool things spread around the internets, so it is time to assemble some of the community add-ons here. And later on we’ll make a proper way for easy Assets Exchange. I’ll keep the topic head updated with what you contribute below, just like it works with the [#MadeWithDefold topic](https://forum.defold.com/t/madewithdefold-the-released-games-list/2076). **The extensions list** [WIP] 1.

The cron.lua library here [https://github.com/kikito/cron.lua](https://github.com/kikito/cron.lua) allows you to trigger callbacks after any arbitrary amount of accumulated delta time. Just send game loop update dt to its update function. Pretty simple and nice, a bit more elegant than the standard Defold “fake animate a dummy object over X time”. Maybe this type of thing will someday make its way into Defold proper. ---

On the last week Dan made an update of hxdefold. Now it supports current actual Defold build 1.2.105 [https://github.com/hxdefold/hxdefold](https://github.com/hxdefold/hxdefold) And he made a port of example Throw-a-Crow (by @britzl ) to hxdefold: [https://github.com/hxdefold/hxdefold-example-throwacrow](https://github.com/hxdefold/hxdefold-example-throwacrow) ---

all, the list is getting larger. Shall we/I spend time making it easier to navigate through, or shall we wait for Sticky Iron to solve it? ---

> [@Oleg\_The\_Evangelist](#): > > or shall we wait for Sticky Iron to solve it? While me, @mikael.lothman and @samuel.nystedt are working hard on Sticky Iron (sorry about the public silence, roadmap available [here](https://trello.com/b/Gx1QlDYT/sticky-iron-roadmap)), we’re still quite a few weeks from being able to release it. Stay tuned! ---

heads up all! [defold.com/community](http://defold.com/community) is there. I guess we shall close this thread soon and inspire all the plugin makers upload their awesomeness to the brand new Asset Portal. Also [here’s the devlog for Sticky Iron](https://forum.defold.com/t/community-pages-was-project-sticky-iron/3683/19) (features Axel and Samuel with irons).
