04:21 Blockhead256 hey, does this project/the engine have a tech stack diagram?
04:21 Blockhead256 Was wondering if this thing I made has any value https://old.reddit.com/r/Luanti/comments/1pxhi5d/luantis_current_tech_stack_with_paths_so_you_can/
04:23 MTDiscord <wsor4035> i dont? think so
04:23 MTDiscord <wsor4035> the engine dev section might something
04:23 MTDiscord <wsor4035> that chart is kinda funny since it talks about opt depends, but never hard depends
04:24 MTDiscord <wsor4035> this thing exists https://docs.luanti.org/images/minetest-0.3-dfd-visio.webp
04:28 Blockhead256 well it was meant to bew interpreted (optional-) as.. well, optional. i.e. "dependencies" and "optional dependencies"
04:28 Blockhead256 "Horribly many things" lol
04:30 Blockhead256 s/bew/be
04:31 Blockhead256 well if ye think my diagram or something like it would be helpful, I could do it up properly
04:33 MTDiscord <wsor4035> here is an idea
04:33 MTDiscord <wsor4035> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/926231483155378176/1454693603317252241/image.png?ex=6952047d&amp;is=6950b2fd&amp;hm=147a7ea4002b7a6c8b080ec38127c0fd64a82c98f7b5c02d57c9cbf64b567a18&amp;
04:34 MTDiscord <wsor4035> but idk, sure
04:34 Blockhead256 that makes some sense I guess yeah
04:35 Blockhead256 If I do it up as an SVG, we should be able to embed it into a page properly, with selectable text
04:35 MTDiscord <wsor4035> dunno if you can in markdown with hugo
04:35 MTDiscord <wsor4035> there is one rule, it needs to look like a mspaint product :juanchi_face:
04:36 Blockhead256 yeah if you make it look too good, people might assume it's meant to be definitive. Like prototyping a UI

06:38 MTDiscord <a.corp.serot> Blockhead256 You could try mermaid diagrams
09:22 Warr1024 joined #luanti-docs
09:47 Blockhead256 that syntax looks similar to DOT

16:15 MTDiscord <exe_virus> +1 for standard mermaid diagrams, use them professionally all the time.   Though I hate the new org that has taken over the product, very clearly trying to take it closed source
16:40 Krock draw.io would be an open-source (trademarked) alternative
16:41 Krock or is only the client open-source? I don't know.
17:00 MTDiscord <mark.wiemer> draw.io is super generic and would need a big style guide to make things consistent, I much prefer Mermaid. Plus draw is GUI, Mermaid is text based 🙂  No idea about this new company in charge of Mermaid but worst case we use a community fork, the open source version is already mature and stable
17:12 MTDiscord <exe_virus> Basically yep, my thoughts and company's thoughts as well
17:17 MTDiscord <mark.wiemer> For anyone curious, "Mermaid Chart" is the company in charge and also the name of a new product  https://docs.mermaidchart.com/blog/posts/mermaid-chart-the-evolution-of-mermaid
19:49 MTDiscord <a.corp.serot> Ah i was not aware of the company, or that it even had a company and not a community thing
19:52 MTDiscord <a.corp.serot> The appeal for me is mostly being something resembling code that i could reasonably recommend putting into a git repo :)
