 You can use the client without server but it won't save anything then.

 Server saves all x seconds. That can change with each commit, so look closely at `WORLDDATA_SAVE_INTERVAL` in `SERVERMAIN.py`
+Actually it's either 10 seconds or 300 seconds (5min), Idk.
+
+## Client usage
+Use **WASD** or the **Arrow keys** to move forward, backwards and sidewards.
+Use the **mouse** to look around.
+If you don't have a mouse, you can use **Q** and **E** to look sidewards and **R**, **F** to look up and down.
+Press the **SPACE BAR** to set a block or to unset an already set block. Blocks will be sent to the server and the answer from the server actually sets or unsets the block. If you are not connected to a server, it just sets or unsets the block locally.
+Use **L** to lock or unlock character movement in the Y direction (Up and Down).
+Press **ESC** to exit the client.
+
+## Server usage
+Right now you can do nothing but watch. You can exit the server with **Ctrl-X**.

Installation and Run : How To

Installation

Download the repository into your destined folder. Here it's /home/beni

cd /home/beni
git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/openmining/code openmining

Maybe adjust the HOME_PATH

cd openmining
nano MAIN.py

change the line with the HOME_PATH to the folder of this repository.
(BASE.HOME_PATH or APP_BASE.HOME_PATH)

(Ctrl-S, Ctrl-X)

If you want to use the server, you need to do the same in SERVERMAIN.py
It's located in openmining/SERVER/SERVER_OpenMining.

cd openmining/SERVER/SERVER_OpenMining
nano SERVERMAIN.py

change the line with the HOME_PATH to the same path as above. (To the directory with MAIN.py in it.)

e.g. HOME_PATH = "/home/pi/openmining/"

Dependencies

You need to have OpenGL and pygame installed, and of course python3.

Running

You can use the client without server but it won't save anything then.

Maybe you need to adjust the HOST_NAME and HOST_PORT in Apps/APP_GAME_OpenMining/APP_GAME_OpenMining.py and in SERVERMAIN.py. It's set to accept all connections (server) and for connecting to localhost (client).

So, first start the server:

cd openmining/SERVER/SERVER_OpenMining
python3 SERVERMAIN.py

Now, in another Terminal or on another computer:

cd openmining
python3 MAIN.py

And have Fun!

Server saves all x seconds. That can change with each commit, so look closely at WORLDDATA_SAVE_INTERVAL in SERVERMAIN.py
