A world to spend time in
Players customise their character and explore connected rooms with shared activities, from whiteboards and music to arcade games. Chat bubbles and emotes make the world social.
Drawn in code
The game is built with Vite, TypeScript, and Canvas 2D. Its pixels are drawn programmatically, while Supabase Realtime supports multiplayer presence and interactions.
Keeping a shared world working
The repository includes database checks, visual regression checks, and multiplayer smoke tests. The rendering approach and original lab and square sets were adapted with permission from the film “Claw’d Labs, Part 0”, as documented in the project credits.
