ZQuestClassic VS Minetest

I've been doing some modernization on an old scripting language used by the game engine I work on [1]. Added a garbage collector, simplified how internal symbols are defined, added a VS code extension with some niceties like syntax highlighting, "Go to Definition", and doc tooltips. Also recently added support for websockets and plan to tackle JSON soon.

ZQuest Classic - Engine to play and create games like the original Zelda. C++, OpenGL

Developing a new website for the open source game engine I work on. Nearly finished with it.

https://zquestclassic.com

It's a Zelda-like game engine with some 1000ish games made in it over 20 years. Used to be called Zelda Classic, but we renamed it this year.

Thanks, that was a silly oversight. Your comment is appreciated, as it saved an instruction in my game engine's JIT compilation :)

I found Sentry's crash reporting (which uses crashpad) simple enough to configure into an existing CMake build within an afternoon.

Building Sentry/crashpad from source in a few lines of CMake: https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic/commit/3471...

And a few lines in the main function: https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic/commit/3471...

My hobby is working on a 20+ year game engine. Still occasionally delete DOS-only code in it. https://github.com/ArmageddonGames/ZQuestClassic

```

The `Hero.{x,y}` properties here are a custom fixed precision number class with some implicit conversions to int, which I suspect being relevant to the crash.

Using it locally too, works great on Mac, but on Windows ccache has some problems caching debug builds. IIRC the embedded debug symbols use absolute paths, so the presence of this particular flag (/Z something...) disables cache eligibility.

i love zelda. if interested in custom quests on pc, go to zeldaclassic.com 100s of custom quests

If you'd like to try custom quests on computer, go to http://zeldaclassic.com

Minetest - Minecraft-inspired voxel game engine. C++

Been there, done that.

Nothing beats industrial Minecraft (in it's prime, which it isn't in atm as far as I konw) IMO.

Not even close, when considering the ability to add magic/farming/computer stuff.

Though Minetest[0] has some pretry cool packs.

https://www.minetest.net/ This is a pretty good opensource minecraft clone essentially, with some of it's own features.

Minetest (version 5.8.0): Near infinite world block sandbox game

It is now available on the official GitHub repository: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/releases/tag/5.8.0

Minetest

If you're interested, I'd recommend checking out MineTest. It's more of an engine than a game but a very good example of what this could be like.

Microsoft showing it's totalitarian real character again. So happy that Minetest[1] exists and gives that warm Open Source glow, just knowing that your using Microsoft free software and it works fine on Linux too.
