Minetest

I have now set up a Minetest server on a Raspberry Pi. This works and I am able to ssh in to the Pi and start remotely.

I have also set up a 3.5” Pi screen, set the pi to auto login and display the IP address(s) of the Pi. I followed some of the instructions at [2],[3] to set up the screen but didn't need the sections for setting up the gui.

The next step is to set up a router so try and provide an internal network at the library for playing minetest. I followed so

Should be able to bring some of this to the STEM Group on Saturday and probably need help setting up the router to provide a simple LAN.

Paignton Library Code Club – Minetest

Some of the laptops at Code Club have had Minetest installed, this is the free software clone of Minecraft. As with Minecraft, Minetest has lots of mods etc available.

The diode.zone peertube instance has some reviews of these mods. Please see link below.

Code Club 20/8/2022

The next Code Club will be on Saturday 20th August 2022 @ Paignton Library, we will carry on with what we are doing, mostly Hour of Code, block based programming, Scratch and the Free Code Camp responsive web design course.

We need MORE people in Torbay to come forward and run Code Clubs. Code Clubs could really benefit from working together too, so we can share expertise to benefit those who attend. We can then come together at STEM group meetings and share further.

Minetest - Minecraft clone

Minetest – Minecraft clone

*An open source voxel game engine. Play one of our many games, mod a game to your liking, make your own game, or play on a multiplayer server.

This could be a great way to start programming and collaborating with others, could be something that can be discussed at the Paignton Library STEM group (see links below).

We do have two Raspberry Pi's, which we could install Minetest, Lua along with other related software. We just need people with the right expertise to help, either in person or virtually.

If you do come to the STEM group with the view to doing this then you will need to bring your own Laptop, Raspberry Pi or other device with you. We don't have Minetest installed on the computers at the library.

Learning and Modding

First step with this is probably going to be learning to program in Lua. The following may provide some useful links for this.

Lua
- Lua Tutorial
- Lua Documentation
- Lua Reference
- Replit.com – has support for Lua

I have found this to be a really nice game, I never really got in to Minecraft, but this should easily appeal to those who like minecraft and similar games. Lots of options to build on this, develop levels, mods etc.
