<!-- Picture TODO is a schematic of the modules OCP is built -->
<!-- from. It shows which parts of the player interact with each other. -->
<!-- TODO picture here -->
<p>The capabilities of OCP can be extended by plugins. The type of
plugin is not limited, so new graphics modes, file types and even
enhanced players may be added by the user. As development for OCP is
done using GNU C/C++, it is recommended to use this compiler for
developing plugins aswell. We have not tested the plugin interface
with other compilers.<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1" name="fnd-1"><sup>1</sup></a>
<p>As of UNIX version, we refer to the source-code and GNU tool-chain
documentations when it comes to compiling and linking and to look at
other plugins as templates for making new ones.
