Using Add-ons in SugarCube

[videlais]

An entry on loading and potentially using one of the add-ons supplied by @tmedwards in the SugarCube documentation downloads page. It would also list the ability to use the existing add-ons as other possible solutions to the entries on Cycling Links and the Typewriter Effect topic areas already in the Cookbook.

This would be a topic area with a single entry for SugarCube.

You could potentially add this to the importing code topic for SugarCube, too, I imagine.

[videlais]

@ChapelR Maybe. But I think I like a separate entry more, at least at the moment anyway, simply because it allows us to talk about that functionality and link back to the importing code entry. Plus, it could also become part of a group of entries I've been thinking about recently that discusses SugarCube-only functionality we haven't already covered yet.

@videlais The ZIP files of each SugarCube addon contains the instructions for installation and usage of the related addon, how do you foresee the recipe making use of such instructions?

[videlais]

@greyelf Pick one of the more common ones as an example and have a sentence like "SugarCube add-ons often have their instructions that should be followed. Consult any documentation that comes with an add-on on how to configure or use it with SugarCube."

[ChapelR]

Not sure if this is wise, but I've written (along with a few other people) unofficial addons for both SugarCube and Harlowe, and the install process is similar (add the code to JavaScript and CSS). SugarCube is the only format with official addons, but it's not the only format that has or can have them.

[greyelf]

@ChapelR I plan to also include Harlowe & Snowman in my 'addon' related recipes.

I've added a SugarCube example. If y'all want to still add Harlowe and/or Snowman examples, you can. I've moved it out of the 1.2 milestone for now to better organize it.
