Stayed up late learning a little bit about some #Minetest and certain mod APIs to fulfill the requests of my two children: one dragon that "shoots" (spawns) ghosts, and another orange dragon that shoots oranges.

I don't have time to re-learn 3d modelling with Blender, so we just modified textures of existing dragons of one of the mods during the day (in #GIMP), which they had fun with. I did some hacking during the day, but I needed to do too much research, so it was hard to keep them engaged with a combination of Lua scripting and web browsing.

So they'll be excited in the morning. I added other small features they won't be expecting and learned (from code) some gameplay features we were unaware of. Maybe they'll get interested in hacking it themselves if I show them how easy it is to make certain tweaks, and if factor any new code I write in such a way as well.
