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.
Has anyone thought of adding realtime shadows to minetest, following the position of the sun / moon and torches? C++ and Irrlicht should easily support such a thing, and it would look prettier than the current lightning technique. That of course, if calculating shadows for millions of blocks does not kill the framerate :P What do you think?

Some mods dislike necroposting, but I think you did well since this is a feature worthy to keep discussing. Thankfully, RealBadAngel has dynamic lighting on his TODO list, which will allow realtime shadows as well.
