Engine #

The engine section 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 rules regarding development.

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.
