Re: Lightweight games from distro
A lightweight game that is rather painful to compile is called RainCat (I had trouble getting Haskell up and running and compiling Raincat in Manjaro, but other distros may not have as much trouble). Raincat is a puzzle game, written in Haskell, developed by Carnegie Mellon students in 2008. It'...

Re: make a linux client under 16.04 - miss GLIBCXX_3.4.22
1. My understanding is that an official release of Old Minetest 5, the buggy fork of genuine Minetest, should be ready in a few days. If you build Old Minetest 5 today using the dot-net sources stored at GitHub, it should be close to the official dot-net release. 2. If you build Final Minetest 5 in...

Re: Indicators, that show NOT Minetest client on work
Thoughts on the issue: * We're not fond of current approaches to blocking hacked clients and/or clone clients.
