FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi guys,

This is probably something pretty simple but I can't find how to do it. If I used print("hi") it will print it in the command console. How do I print messages in the actual game window like it does when you use in-game commands?

Cheers,

Jonty

Welcome to Minetest.
Here's a simple code example of adding a new chat command dev.minetest.net

There is an useful file, called "lua_api.txt" and you can find it in minetest_folder\doc\

Thanks for replying so quickly Krock and thanks for pointing out the lua_api file :)

That's working fine now thanks. I'm a maths teacher and I've created a mod for my students where they have to build cuboids of a given volume :)

Wow, that sounds like a really cool mod. Mind putting that up on github?

Cool !
Could you add a little something about using Minetest as a tool for teaching to this thread? Minetest Could Be An Educational Tool
so that others may gain more insight on how Minetest could be used in classes. You may also find links to other usefull mods for use with pupils in that thread.
