<h1>Overview</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Getting into development</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are several ways to get into development:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Modding:</strong> Develop a mod independently and publish it on the <a href="http://forum.minetest.net/">forums</a>.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Core development:</strong> If you think of something that is needed in the core, then talk with the core team (preferably a lot, with multiple members - communication is more important than you think) and do it.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Translating:</strong> Help translating Minetest at <a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/minetest/minetest/">our web interface</a>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Core Team</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Upstream repositories and official Windows packages are handled by the <a href="https://github.com/minetest?tab=members">core team</a>, consisting of a bunch of people who are much trusted to keep Minetest progressing in good condition. The core team is best contacted on <abbr title="Internet Relay Chat">IRC</abbr> at <code>#minetest-dev @ chat.freenode.net</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The core team is formed of people who have made great <a href="/credits/">contributions</a> to Minetest.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contributions are approved if two members of the core team agree on them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Project Structure</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Minetest is distributed as an engine, combined with a couple of games. Upstream repositories can be found at <a href="https://github.com/minetest/">https://github.com/minetest/</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><div> <strong>The engine</strong> (core) is the base for everything. C++ is used for housekeeping and performance-critical stuff, Lua for extensible things.</div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><div> <strong>Games</strong> define game content: nodes, entities, textures, meshes, sounds and custom behavior implemented in Lua. Games consist of mods that plug into the engine using the <a href="http://dev.minetest.net">Modding API</a>.</div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
