I think that is possible (but maybe not the turtle vision part that depends on how the minetest core lua game is written.) I will look into it later but right now I have to sleep. It is 2am in my timezone. lol

I am currently in school so I don't have a lot of time for something like this but I think that it is possible but I am interested in trying and helping. :) (Well, some of the bullet points are possible.) Unless things have changed, you cannot get feedback as you type into a formspec. So there has t...

C++11 is no longer "beta" in gcc. Again research your facts please. I doubt you have even been keeping watch because if you have even checked the status in the last year you would find out just how wrong you are. I am well aware of what gcc supports and doesn't support. Have you ever trie...

The upgrade to C++11 should occur when all supported OSs and compilers support C++11. This is not the case at the moment. We should (and will?) support all LTS Linux versions. Actually, you are so wrong about this it is actually funny. This is how misinformation starts. ALL OS's and compilers DO su...

Lua is an very accurate and very fast. lua isn't very fast l think This could be a lot faster and is lua with… http://terralang.org/ Ummm... no not really. Minetest uses luaJIT. and terralang is actually just a wrapper around luaJIT for compiled functions. It might be able to be slightly faster but...

I have pretty much dropped this idea because formspecs are very limited. Don't get me wrong I think that mods aren't run clietside but this decreases the number of mod ideas that are possible to make (in comparison to minecraft) by unimaginable amounts. Doing it this way even adds sequrity to the cl...

Progress! In theory I can do this using coroutines despite the problems I mentioned before. The downside though is that it is pretty hackish and abuses the stack somewhat and for this reason I am not sure how many computers will be able to be run at a time. I will post when I have something more pre...

To make this server friendly, each computer will need a "sandbox" I recomend you google them for more info but basically it isolates the computer and prevents them from having access to functions that they shouldn't. (like all of the minetest.* functions). Here's a post I just made. I thin...

Hello all! First post! :-) I am not sure what you are talking about but I have a working lua sandboxed environment in which you can specify what you want to included in the environment and you can also specify specific functions in tables that you want omitted (like string.dump). It even can't take ...
