Pre-edit: oh, looks like his response is already complete :rotfl:
Just FYI, I for one would be very interested in seeing something like this. However, the MT developers can give a lot more info on this than I can, so I'll leave it to them (and Krock, seeing as told me he was preparing a response).

Re: How to create a map loosely based on real geo of Canada?
Hey, I'm Canadian too :D Now, yes it's possible. As to how much work it would take to do, don't ask me. However, paramat might be able to give you some pointers on this as he does much of the MT mapgen dev. If you'd like, join IRC and ask him. Again, it is possible, but it will either be as easy as ...

Re: Console is slowpoke
AFAIK, this is not a direct issue with Minetest or the console. Instead, it is an issue with Irrlicht (the engine used by Minetest). Issues related to this have been discussed before, and I believe the solution at this point is to make sure you have to latest release of Irrlicht. At the times the is...

Re: [Mod] Functional Lua Computers [0.5.2] [digicompute]
An example would be something like while true do x = x + 1 end And not have it get interrupted, if it doesn't finish in one frame it just continues in the next. Ah, I understand. First off, executing a command like that will cause the computer to time out, rather than creating any major issues. Sec...

Re: [Mod] Functional Lua Computers [0.5.2] [digicompute]
Any plans to allow computations to take longer than one tick, without manual handling of program state? EDIT: Oh, I think I did misunderstand.

Re: [Mod] In-Game Formspec Creator [debugger]
What is the significant difference between your mod and this ? Not much at all, except for the fact that it's a mod, not a subgame, meaning it is easier to use. Not only that, but it is far more stable than the other (e.g. you can exit without crashing the game, formspecs are saved per-player when ...

Re: Does adding more nodes....
Well, of course, if you add a huge amount of stuff to the game it will take more resources. However, with Minetest RAM is not really an issue, unless you are keeping a huge number of chunks rendered (i.e. you have viewing range set to a high setting). What Minetest really uses, is CPU. If you have a...

Re: What's the minimum number of nodes for a game?
As far as I know, nothing content-related is coded in the engine. I thought it was literally an engine anyways.
