-A yellowstone ore drops yellowstone dust.
-In combining yellowstone and iron, we have yellowire! Yellowire can be putted on the floor or on other yellowires. Yellowires transfer yellowstone flux.
-If we put in the crafting table an horizontal line of three irons and an horizontal line of three yellowstone dusts on, we have... Yellowstone diodes! They works like wire but are diodes too : they block the yellowstone flux in the wrong direction!
-With the crafting table fulled of yellowstone diodes, the result is... Yellowstone timer! The flux enter in the timer and get out 0.001 seconds later!
-With a torch and a yellowstone dust on in the crafting table, we have... A noblock! This block generate yellowstone flux except if it's powered.
-We need... Pushers (an arm get out of the pusher and push blocks when the pusher is powered. can be sticky, in this case the block returns to the "pusher", which allows players to make diabolical traps, <sarcastic laugh>!).
-And if doors can be powered for open it automatically... And special doors which cannot be openned, just powered?
-Buttons, levers, players detectors, dropped items detectors, items-in-chest detectors... A variety of detectors which generates flux!
In the original proprietary and unethical Minecraft, there was command blocks. Minetest need LUA Block!
A block accessable only in Creative Mode and which... Permit to script the game in LUA! The LUA script will be executed when the block will be powered. Also, why not :
-Python Block
-Perl Block
-Lisp Block
-Ruby Block
-C++ Block
-JavaScript Block

i think : why not integrate it in the game?

sosolal wrote:How create a new game?

• locate the minetest/games/ folder in your installation (location may vary depending on operating system such as Linux or Windows and installation type such as "run_in_place" or some type of global)


• make a folder like "mygame" in the games folder.


• make a folder "mods" in the mygames folder.


• copy the contents of minetest_game into the new mods folder


• dump some other mods into that


• place a text file called game.conf into your "mygame" folder and write into it a line like
  Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

  Code: Select all

  game = mygame

  , were "mygame" is the name of the game


• done


• find out if it works


• might not, so start tweaking


• and add mods missing


• and add a mygame/menu folder - put some graphics called "header" and "icon" into that


• more tweaking and testing


• fix recipe clashes


• things getting difficult


• learn LUA to tweak mods better


• wont work? -> write own mods to address the problems


• oops things are not so easy anymore
