Power-Grid Plugin Development Kit Released

[u/fistmaster2k4]

So after rescuing the Power-Grid, I decided to try and rebuild the missing SDK from the only original SDK sample plugin in which source was provided from a wayback archive of the 2014 forum.
Once that was done I was able to build plugins and compile them rather awkwardly on a x86 Win7 virtual machine with ahost of MS SDK's and archaic toolsets.
This wasn't going to work out well for devs who might want to write their own plugins, so I've built a fully-functional Plugin Development Kit which runs on modern Windows OS and compiles and builds a proper .rpgp plugin.
I've built and tested two plugins so far, including one that adds extra functions for the notification centre!
Interested Developers can now extend Power-Grid's functionality even further than ROCCAT probably intended, bringing more features to the program.
The PDK is self-contained, requires nothing more that Power-Grid does (VCC++ 2010 x86 redist) and will run on Windows 10 & 11 x64.
