20:01 nonporous_  to everyone: What would you say is the best way to begin learning how to mod minetest? The txt file describing the lua api is a bit too much like a reference and I'm having trouble starting with it.
20:03 VanessaE    download some of my mods - they're the result of learning from others, and so the code is fairly simp-le
20:03 VanessaE    simple*
20:03 VanessaE    poisonivy and junglegrass are the simplest ones.
20:03 VanessaE    animated torches is smallest but uses newer features.
20:03 VanessaE    pipeworks is good for learning how nodeboxes work
20:03 VanessaE    homedecor is complex
20:04 VanessaE    marktraceur's rewrite of moreores should be good for learning how to spawn minerals in the ground as part of the map generator (I think)
20:04 marktraceur VanessaE: Has some more complex programming concepts in it
20:04 VanessaE    true
20:05 jordach     VanessaE, my wool mod is simple
20:05 marktraceur nonporous_: You might start by reading Calinou's original moreores implementation, then read my new one
20:05 marktraceur nonporous_: Also, you should be able to join multiple channels in the same instance of the web IRC client :)
20:06 nonporous_  ok thanks!
20:08 marktraceur Yay!
20:44 jordach     night all: see ya tomorrow
