Starling is lucky to be supported by many great people and talented programmers. Many of those have already created numerous add-on classes you can use in your game.
This page lists all extensions that are available, giving you a simple means to browse through them and cherry-pick those you can use in your game. If you want to create and share your own extension, visit this page to find out how to do it: Creating an Extension.
