Minetest VS online-go.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.

OGS is the closest thing I’ve found to lichess but it’s quite good! https://online-go.com/

That's nuts. I'll be honest online-go.com is my least favorite server to play on. Unfortunately it's one of the only ones that doesn't require software installation so it's easy to recommend to new players.

In 2016, I thought I'd give up on playing Go, seeing that our tree searching overlords beat us in every which way. Funny thing is, I'm playing a game right now [1].

Hey guys, I own Gomoku.com domain and the site (currently down) very similar to https://online-go.com/ I no longer have the time to maintain or try to grow it, if anyone is interested taking it over let me know!

and also, https://online-go.com (OGS) is the best English server for playing online and getting a rank.

https://online-go.com/ is the most popular English server, called OGS. It's pretty good.

OGS (https://online-go.com)

OGS is open source, anyone can contribute to their github repository and it's in need of developers - almost 200 open issues. It's likely easier to gain traction and more beneficial to the go community compared to starting from scratch.

OGS probably has the largest pool of English-speaking beginners. https://online-go.com/ It's a web app, so it's very easy to get signed up and playing.

Also, I'd suggest trying to switch to human players pretty soon (online-go.com is the place to be for that), AIs and weak AIs will play with a lot of strange and bad moves, and playing against too many of them might give you bad habits.
