Widget Development
Are you ready to produce widgets for an open, and
growing community of users that play PC games?
PLAYXPERT widgets facilitate a means to deliver add-on tools for users of any pc based game. Think of it as a super-mod'ing platform!
PLAYXPERT has done the heavy lifting in creating the in-game overlay technology and a flexible widget api platform. And now we’ve bottled it up and allowed content creators to script new utilities and windows that leverage the base PLAYXPERT technologies via its extensible plug-in architecture - Widgets.
PLAYXPERT wants to help you put your passion for gaming into work. Want to leave a mark on the gaming community as a whole? Familiarize yourself with our Widget API and put your creative juices to work:
Develop in-game toolsets to keep the community engaged and excited about their game.
What PLAYXPERT brings to the table
- The overall PLAYXPERT platform
- A common, fully documented API
- Varying levels of integration approaches so that both hard-core developers as well as non-coders can build widgets
- An integrated security model and mechanism for deployment (if Trusted)
- Extensibility into the user's information model (without jeopardizing personal information) for exposing functionality with other utilities and programs (e.g., instantiating a Teamspeak session through a call to the Teamspeak API by a user action to PLAYXPERT or one of it’s Widgets)
The API is a C# based toolkit that we use ourselves in the building of our core V1 features of PLAYXPERT.
Community based widgets are available for anyone to build, however if you want to build a commercial widget, please contact us regarding SDK licensing specifics.

We are currently updating our Widget Development tools. Although this is a draft, it is very close to the final SDK for widget development in the new build. The documentation is included in there as well and should help you navigate our object model, available methods, and various services provided by the PLAYXPERT platform. Code with Confidence! With questions, concerns or thoughts please post your comments on our public forums.
