Rules
-- Some people don't know how to behave on IRC, - so here are some simple rules: -
--
-
- Don't ask if you can ask questions, just ask. -
- Be patient when you ask something, people might not be around. -
- Don't spam. -
- Don't flood the channel with messages or bot commands. -
- Use a pastebin if you want to post more than 4 lines (such as error messages or code). -
- Annoying, racist, or any form of derogatory terms against any user or channel operator will probably get you quieted; or even banned. -
- If you're going to ask someone something, "please" goes a very long way. -
- The channels are not playgrounds and are frequently used for talks which are not off-topic. -
- Off-topic is allowed, but excessive use of it is disallowed. -
- Link shorteners are discouraged for URLs that are not very long. -
Contribute
-- There are several ways to get into development: -
--
-
- - Giving support on the forums and IRC. - -
- - Work on a game or mod, - and publish it on ContentDB - or the forums. - -
- - Help develop Minetest by reporting - bugs and submiting patches on - GitHub or IRC. - -
- - Translating: Help translating Minetest using - our web interface. - -
The Process
-
- Upstream repositories and official Windows packages are handled by the core team, consisting of a bunch of people who are much trusted to keep Minetest progressing in good condition. The core team is best contacted on IRC at #minetest-dev @ chat.freenode.net.
- The core team is formed of people who have made great contributions to Minetest.
- Contributions are approved if two members of the core team agree on them.
-
- For more information, take a look at - - all the rules regarding to development - . -
- -Project Structure
-- Minetest is distributed as an engine, combined with a couple of games. - Upstream repositories can be found at - https://github.com/minetest/. -
--
-
- - The engine (core) is the base for everything. - C++ is used for housekeeping and performance-critical stuff, - Lua for extensible things. - -
- - Games 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 - Modding API. - -
- For more information see the - terminology or - engine structure - developer wiki pages. -
- -Reporting issues
-- Different things related to Minetest are maintained by different people, contacted in different ways. Here you can find where to report issues, bugs and any other kinds of problems regarding to each “product”. -
-- People are generally available on freenode IRC, the Minetest Forums, GitHub and/or via email. -
