Homepage suggestions

by 2cool4me4 » Post

So, the Minetest.net homepage text is a bit... bland. So I figured I would try to rewrite it. No offence to anyone here, though.

Bolded words are headings. Italics are areas I'm not so sure about. Underlined phrases are comments

Welcome to Minetest!
Minetest is a near-infinite (somewhere around 31000 blocks in all directions or so) game set in a Voxel world, inspired by Minecraft, Infiniminer, and the like. In the game, you can destroy or place blocks, craft items, and let your imagination go crazy! Plus, with a easy-to-use and program modding API , there is no shortage of ways to make your game the way you want it! Minetest has been developed and used by Perttu (Celeron55) Ahola (and a large dev community) since October 2010, and utilizes Irrlicht and C++ to be much faster than games written in Java.

Features

-Amazingly simple Lua-based Modding API that runs in the server environment, so you don't need to download any mods in order to play online servers that have different mods than you! Always wished that you had a feature that isn't included in your game? It's easy to make it yourself!

-Multiplayer that doesn't take all day to set up. Just select your map and click Start Game to create your own server. Granted, to host an online server, you will need to forward ports. To learn more, see the following link: http://wiki.minetest.com/wiki/Setting_up_a_server

-Dynamic lighting that makes the world look beautiful. Remember, Italics are parts I'm not sure about

-Runs on nearly any platform, thanks to C++ and Irrlicht

Minimum system requirements:
800Mhz CPU with SSE2 support (single-core)
512MB RAM
Video card with 64MB of VRAM
10MB disk space

Recommended system requirements:
1.8Ghz CPU with SSE2 support (dual-core)
1GB RAM
Video card with 256MB of VRAM
40MB disk space



This isn't complete or perfect, but I find it better than the current homepage. Anyone can disagree with me if they wish.

Umm, where? It would help me greatly if you would quote the area where the error is instead of quoting the whole post and saying I made a mistake. ;)

Typo, his name is spelled "Perttu Ahola". At least that's how it's spelled on the current main site.
