FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

As my entry into C++ I, Jordach is going to write a awesome fork of the old version:

0.2

Features:

TODO:

Fix serious memory leaks
Add wool directly
Add loads of mobs
Add in mese tools like swords
Simple Mod API
Add a wieldhand (preferably a 3d one, similar to t_a_n_k's engine.)
Add visible tools
Add new types of tree (Rare golden and birch)
Flatland map generation (will be flats = false in minetest.conf)
Enterable seed (Type random numbers into the box below - new maps only)
Add a few more ores. (Perhaps: aluminium,
Add simple griefer protection.
Endless maps (Limit of 9999999999999990, if that can even be done...)

Shit not to implement:

Sounds (OpenAL can lag non-sound cards)
Texture Animation (Can lag expensive AGP cards)
Dynamic Day / night (Sorry - lags badly)

Repo:

https://github.com/Jordach/Minetest-Classic

IRC Channel:

#minetest-classic @ quakenet

Great ideas,
Will be a definitive fork ? merge-able afterward ?

Good luck .

Definite fork, yes. Merge, no, 0.2 is 7 months behind 0.4.

Please fork 0.3.1 not 0.2 :/

The modding API will be very simple, how I know this, he told me during a skype call last night.

It doesn't slow down the game, it is actually faster.

Calinou, 0.2 was far better than I ever remembered, and faster too.

First Windows Build: http://ompldr.org/vZW9mNw/minetest-0.2.20110922_3-6718fd3d73d4-win32.7z

Have you started the modding API yet?

Nope, that's the last thing I probably want to do.

ALSO: DOES ANYONE WANT ME TO ADD THEIR MODS TO MINETEST-CLASSIC?

Parts of moreblocks, with eg. stonebricks/stonesquares? :P

I was thinking of adding them.

BTW, I should be adding 0.4 texture support.

Can you add the download link for the working project with the wool

Maybe, this is my flavour of minetest you know.

Yeah i know and looking at your 2D Minetest Your Flavour is NICE!!
Thnx for making this fork minetest 2.0 is awesome

Madchicken13, this source blows my mind half of the time, I am working with SDZEN, because he is able to help me, test, operate server (master host - not git, but game-wise) and others as well.

My only bugbear with the src code, is the fact I grep often, and perhaps not too often.

So, fav this topic, and we might start getting somewhere.

I also might add birch trees in.
