0.2.20110704_0

Monday, July 4th, 2011

Here goes 0.2.20110704_0. I am releasing this in order to not leave new code hanging around without usage.

Changelist isn’t long:
- Many small fixes
- Code reorganizing to aid further development
- Renewed map generator

Oh, and actually, there are two new blocks: gravel and mossy cobblestone.

Expect further development in Minetest Delta, or some other fork. I will keep you informed, the site running and I will make sure there are Windows packages available of the game at all times. (surprisingly few people are interested in taking care of that…)

Minetest Delta

Monday, July 4th, 2011

I am working on some side projects right now, so main development is handed to Minetest Delta.

Stay tuned for the first release of Delta.

An excerpt from the README of Minetest Delta:
————————–
Minetest Δ (“Minetest Delta”) is a fork of Minetest-c55 , incorporating experimental features that are not (yet) included in Minetest-c55.

New features:
* Submenu for key assignment (changes apply after restart)

New bricks:
* Sandstone (crafted from 4 sand, yields sand)
* Cactus (plant that grows on sand)
* Clay (found in sand at sea level, yields 4 lumps of clay)
* Brick (made from 4 clay bricks, yields 4 clay bricks)
* Papyrus (plant that grows in shallow water, yields paper)
* Book shelf (made from 6 wood and 3 books, sandwhiched)
* Rail (made from 6 iron ingots and 3 sticks, vertically sandwhiched) <- not functional, though

New materials:
