Re: 3d printing for kids: modelling objects with Minetest
"Far more powerfull". Can you quantify that or is just something that you made up from your own prejudices ? By knowing the theory behind compilers and programming languages, i call that bullshit. All that you can say is that both python and lua are turing complete, imperative - with multi...

Re: What's Minetest still missing over Minecraft?
+Even though minecraft dosnt officially have a devkit, its writtin in a language anyone can mod for on any platform. Minetest can be easily modded using Lua. What the fuss ?

Re: [mod] mint & automatic commerce machines (Updated) [mint
The problem with setting price/fields is because you cannot leave a formspec by pressing enter. This is a minetest bug, not mod bug. Set the price (or item) field and click on something else at the inventory. Then press enter. Its annoying. Edit: Fixed the ownership bug. For lua, "not a = b&quo...

Everything was updated, even the code. But i need some testers to verify safety.

Another way would be to have the engine use the vector textures to do a kind of realtme mipmaping.

Re: Client Side Lua (Again)
Its naive to pretend that the security risks preclude the inclusion of client side lua.
That mode of thinking would not given us Web 2.0, for example.
Its just a cheap way to dismiss something that the developers dont want happening.

because being compiled in GCJ makes it almost standalone instead of relying on JRE.
