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!
Cordially,
Jairo :)

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,
Hans

Because \duck is already taken by TikZducks :(

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

I want to do some additional trickery later, so \unprotect ... \protect are
fine there, I think :)

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
mother's homeland to see them in the wild :D

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

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

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

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.
Thank you for your feedback.

no need to merge ... in lmtx you can play with
withcolor "red"
and such ... best keep colors abstract
