FOSS gamedev and creative worlds
This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
Hi There!

Hi There!
Hi there, I'm Ryan. I'm a LUA Security Engineer/Developer and that is what I do for a living. I found Minetest after googling for some old versions of the game we loved, 'Minecraft Classic'. I found this forum and this site, and I loved what such a small community was creating, so here I am. I plan to look in depth of the code and get familiar with the games software. PM me if you have any questions! Also, can someone please explain to me the general concept of the game and what has happened so far? Thanks!
~ Ryan
Re: Hi There!
Good to have you here.
Minetest is described by the original creator (celeron55) as being inspired by Minecraft alpha.
These two excellent posts by celeron55 explain what Minetest is, is not, and what needs doing:

Minetest is a game engine, Minetest Game is the default subgame, a subgame is a collection of Lua mods, all subgame content is in Lua so it is easy to derive new subgames for the engine (and alternative subgames are indeed wanted to be bundled alongside Minetest Game).
Perhaps you would like to chat to us in the IRC #minetest-dev channel on the 'FreeNode' network (a dedicated IRC client is needed to speak in that channel). That channel is for Minetest Engine and Minetest Game development, mod chat goes elsewhere.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
