Mission Statement
|
||
|
|
=================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0. Abstract
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To provide a simple, flexible, feature-rich, multi-platform, completely free and
|
||
|
|
open source engine for creating, modifying and powering first and third person
|
||
|
|
multiplayer voxel-games.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Simple
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The public facing Lua API should be kept easy to learn and easy to use. New
|
||
|
|
developers must be able to produce something with only a few lines of code which
|
||
|
|
are easy to understand when read, and must be able to just as easily modify
|
||
|
|
already existing code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Flexible
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The engine itself should be flexible by providing versatile features and options
|
||
|
|
to allow fast and easy customization and change of the provided functionality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Feature-rich
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The engine and the public facing Lua API should provide features which allow
|
||
|
|
to test and implement new ideas.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Multi-platform
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Minetest should be kept running on as many platforms as feasible. Arbitrary
|
||
|
|
limitations to its portability must be avoided.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Free and open source
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Minetest is provided as free and open source software, with the hope of being
|
||
|
|
useful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Creation
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main goal of Minetest is to empower developers and users alike to create,
|
||
|
|
modify and run voxel-games. This is achieved with a solid C++ core which has
|
||
|
|
a public facing Lua API which is simple and easy to learn and yet flexible.
