Engine

The engine section and the Core Engine category is for documentation of the Luanti 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. You'll need to generate this yourself
• See all pages on the engine.
• See Rules and Guidelines.

How to help improve documentation

• Doxygen: We want to document most or all of Luanti core with Doxygen-style code comments.

• The usage of doxygen is explained there.
• Head over to #minetest-dev on 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.

• Move stuff from NMPR to Engine Structure, and improve Engine Structure generally.
