Minetest-c55
---------------

Copyright (c) 2010 Perttu Ahola <celeron55@gmail.com>

An InfiniMiner/Minecraft inspired game.

This is a development version:
- Don't expect it to work as well as a finished game will.
- Please report any bugs to me. That way I can fix them to the next release.
	- debug.txt is very useful when the game crashes.

Public servers:
	kray.dy.fi :30000 (friend's server - recommended)
	celeron.55.lt :30000 (my own server, kind of unused)
- If you want to run a server, I can list you on my website and in here.

Controls:
- WASD+mouse: Move
- Mouse L: Dig
- Mouse R: Place block
- Mouse Wheel: Change item
- F: Change item
- R: Toggle full view range

Configuration file:
- An optional configuration file can be used. See minetest.conf.example.
- Path to file can be passed as a parameter to the executable:
	--config <path-to-file>
- If not given as a parameter, these are checked, in order:
	../minetest.conf

Command-line options:
- Use --help

Running on Windows:
- The working directory should be ./bin

Running on GNU/Linux:
- fasttest is a linux binary compiled on a recent Arch Linux installation.
  It should run on most recent GNU/Linux distributions.
- Browse to the game ./bin directory and type:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./fasttest
- If it doesn't work, use wine. I aim at 100% compatibility with wine.

Compiling on GNU/Linux:
- You need:
* Irrlicht:
	http://downloads.sourceforge.net/irrlicht/irrlicht-1.7.2.zip
* JThread:
	http://research.edm.uhasselt.be/~jori/page/index.php?n=CS.Jthread
* zlib:
	- Get the -dev package from your package manager.
- Irrlicht and JThread are very likely not to be found from your distro's
  repository.
- Compiling each of them should be fairly unproblematic, though.

Compiling on Windows:
- You need Irrlicht, JThread and zlib, see above
- Be sure to
  #define JMUTEX_CRITICALSECTION
  in jmutex.h before compiling it. Otherwise mutexes will be very slow.
