noa VS Camlistore

Neat thread! My contribution is that I'm still working on a web-based voxel game engine. It's gotten pretty stable, so maybe about time to tackle some big missing features (e.g. physics for non-square voxels..).

https://github.com/fenomas/noa/tree/develop

Our motto: "the voxel engine so good that Mojang once pretended it was an old buggy version of Minecraft" ;)

https://github.com/fenomas/noa for the engine, but as a warning it is just a voxel engine. It isn't a game engine. Its fun to mess around with though.

Annoyingly there's not much to tell. It was a web version, released as a one-off marketing thing and then never updated, and Mojang didn't reply when I tried to get in touch (via contacts at microsoft). So I never really found out anything about it.

It's still live though: classic.minecraft.net

The voxel engine is: https://github.com/andyhall/noa

Would a browser-based voxel game engine count?

The reason for not using an existing library is just that there weren't any usable alternatives at the time!

There's also Perkeep [1], though it seems like development has slowed down on it in recent years.

You probably just want to pay the cost for hosted. But if you're set on running it yourself, https://perkeep.org/ is great

Perkeep

Not sure how actively it’s being developed but it sounds like perkeep is exactly the idea you’re looking for

So... it just occurred to me that you need to know about https://perkeep.org , I have been following it since the beginning when it was called Camlistore, and notably this talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxSzQIwXM1k ( from this page: https://perkeep.org/doc/ ).
