+So you want to make $Projectname do something it doesn't already do. There are lots of ways. But let's learn how to write a plugin or addon.
In your $Projectname folder/directory, you will probably see a sub-directory called 'addon'. If you don't have one already, go ahead and create it.

-Hooks are always called with one argument which is specific to the hook you're calling. It contains information relevant to that particular place in the program, and often allows you to look at, and even change it. In order to change it, you need to add '&' to the variable name so it is passed to your function by reference. Otherwise it will create a copy and any changes you make will be lost when the hook process returns. Usually (but not always) the second argument is a named array of data structures. Please see the "hook reference" (not yet written as of this date) for details on any specific hook. Occasionally you may need to view the program source to see precisely how a given hook is called and how the results are processed.
