Minetest for Raspberry Is Possible Or ?

Fri Aug 24, 2012 7:55 pm

Dear Forum.

I run and play minetest on my wii so i think its possible to port the Game for the Raspberry Too! (On Wii i use WhiiteLinux to run it ).Yes i know the RaspberryPi dont have really much RAM but can anyone try it ? This Would be really Interessting.I would try it by myself but my Raspberry arrive in 15 Weeks :D RS Components......

Thx in Adventure Ôo

I compiled it myself without any problems. But I'm using the RPi as a server only. At the beginning the server was running very laggy, interactions weren't transferred etc. So I let another minetestserver running on a core2duo create the map.sqlite (world map) and transferred it with the according map_meta.txt to the Raspberry Pi. Now that the map is cached in the database and does not neet to be created from the random seed, the server runs very much faster at an acceptable speed.

I'm using my RPi headless so testing the client side via VNC would not give reasonable results.
