It's nice to see a new third party module for ConTeXt but you have to
make a few changes.

1. You have to put the module and the documentation in the correct doc
and tex folders.


I'm doing it now. Thanks, I'll give my module some more order.

2. You should give your manual a better name, e.g. metaducks-manual.tex 



Agreed. I'll prepare a better manual before updating.

3. You can put your color definitions in the module, there is no need
for a new color file, especially because most of the colors you use are
already predefined.


Oh, colors are a bit different, so I copied RGB definitions from 
xcolor.sty, especially because with ConTeXt colors ducks looked a bit 
"brown" rather than yellow. However, I can merge t-metaducks.mkvi and 
colo-imp-xcolor.mkiv if necessary.

no need to merge ... in lmtx you can play with

withcolor "red"

and such ... best keep colors abstract

Hi everyone!

I've recently ported TikZducks to ConTeXt and finally removed TIkZ 
along the way. So a new module was created. The module is called 
"metaducks" (lol) and it's essentially a \useMPgraphic{...} with a lot 
of options, most of them ported from TikZducks. For those not familiar 
with the package, it draws customized rubber ducks :) I want to 
include some more, so I'll gladly read any feedback, recommendations 
and suggestions. Eventually I want it to be a module on its own. The 
module is already in the ConTeXt Group:


https://modules.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/module.cgi/action=details/id=105

in case anyone wants to give it a try. Here's a minimal example:

\usemodule[metaducks]
\starttext
\ducks[santa=true,mug=true]
\stoptext

I wish the best for you all. Happy holidays!

Oh, that explains \continueifinputfile in some source files. Nice. I'll add

I want to do some additional trickery later, so \unprotect ... \protect are

Thanks to you! I enjoy typesetting with ConTeXt and I'm very happy with all
their possibilities.

Lucky you! We have a nice bay in Callao, but no ducks. I have to visit my

Nice!

You can add, at the end of the module:

\continueifinputfile{t-metaducks.mkvi}

\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{
\startTEXpage
\randomducks % Why plural?
\stopTEXpage
}
\stoptext

Which means that you run the module directly you get an example.

No need to add \endinput, so just after the \protect (actually in your 
case there is no need for  \unprotect \protect).


Thanks,
