The engine section and core engine category is for documentation of the Minetest engine, which consists of a C++ core and a Lua builtin script.

This page contains links to useful information.

Useful Resources

  • Engine Structure - for an introduction and light reference to the engine's structure. Start here.
  • Basic data structures - general data structures.
  • Objects - documentation on active and static objects.
  • Doxygen - For a complete (but often missing comments) reference to code.

How to help improve documentation

We want to document most or all of Minetest core with Doxygen-style code comments.
The usage of doxygen is explained there.

Head over to #minetest-devon IRC, and ask someone there to help you get started with documentation. You'll need to download the project through Git and then make your changes.
