stroitel

It is transliterated word cтроитель from Russian language.
It is pronounced as stro-ee-tel with that middle vowel "i" (-ee-) stressed.
It is translated as builder, constructor.

Some images for word "строитель" in Google Search.

Well, the idea for name is obvious. The only difference is not using English for inventing name for some international project.
At least it is an idea. Advantage — search engines will not mess it with too common word "builder" or "constructor".

Nice try "comrade", but I see you are trying to poison the proletariat with the miasmatic influence of religion.

Religion is not the opium of the population, at least when it's the Russian Orthodox Church!

Yeah, let's make that our official name right now. I'm tired of "Minetest".

[azekill_DIABLO]

i need to seriously improve my coding then.

Maybe. You don't have to if it's working, even if it works mediocrely.

[azekill_DIABLO]

it's NOT working

[MineYoshi]

it's NOT working

Ok, then you have to improve.

[azekill_DIABLO]

yep, i told you.

[MineYoshi]

yep, i told you.

That's not a good philosophy. Because if your code sucks it might make your projects work not very well. And if your code sucks, no one (except your com-unist friends :] ) will want to work on the project. But your code don't sucks, AFAIK.

It used to suck and have unnecesary comments only making stuff harder to understand. Just that i realized that my antics in my code weren't funny so i decided to just stop and make proper code. That's why i've got so good.

Didn't see that one coming ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

with the number of minecraft clone with unoriginal names, we must be original.

> Original.

what about when you first open Minetest you get choice of 5 different game names that we choose and 5 that are randomly generated much like https://videogamena.me/

When the player chooses the name the game is called like that thereafter until he reinstalls the game

This would be original and stay in the spirit of Minetest since the mapgen or terrain is randomly generated from a seed

there should also be an option in the setting to change the game name.

Guy 1: “Hey, I have some issues with ‘Raging Demon Patrol’”
Guy 2: “From your screenshots I can tell that this looks like a rip-off from ‘Political Farm Dash’”
Guy 3: “You’re both wrong, that is ‘Bonk's Yoga Safari’”
Guy 4: “Ever heard of Minetest?”
Guy 1-3: “SHUT UP!”

I have a friend who works for them, they're a multi-million pound company. The average age is 23, and they all get given MBPs O_o

[TumeniNodes]

and they all get given MBPs O_o

I'd rather get syphilis... :P

So, as payment for work, they get punished??? 0_o I'm confused

I'm still opposed to a name change.

Here's my best argument why the name of Minetest doesn't really matter that much:

Minetest is only the game engine!
So why do you waste so much time on it?

And you all fail to see the elephant in the room, which is Minetest Game (the default subgame).

I'm still opposed because:
The name “Minetest” is way to established to change it now. Changing a name is a bad idea when said name is already known.
But especially, all suggestions for a different name so far are just really desperate-sounding and awful. Especially the recent ones.
