Hello, everyone,
I want to present you the new game which could be added to the Fedora
repos. Three weeks ago I packaged it and filed a Review Request, which
unfortunately didn't get any noticeable reaction. So I want to promote
it a little bit. Hope this is not considered as spamming :)
Minetest, as you can guess from the title, is the game where you need
to mine and build. The specific features of the game are:
- code, written in ะก++ and released under GPLv2+ license
- growing extremely fast community of developers and players
- very low system requirements
- server-side scripting and texturing possibilities. (Server can send
the textures to the client)
- almost infinite world in all directions
- crazy map generator which produces great landscapes with flying
islands and magical ruins
- public servers, in-game chat
- flowing water and lava, growing trees, spawning rats
- and don't forget about Dungeon Masters spawning in the dark and
shooting fireballs towards the careless miner
The official site of the project is here: http://c55.me/minetest/
There are Forum, Wiki, IRC-channel and several public servers.

Any help regarding the review process is highly appreciated.
