I've been trying to register to this, it looks fun, but catpcha is blocking me for some reason. Had to refresh many times, but it seemingly still doesn't want to cooperate.

Did you make sure to type everything exactly like it is in the captcha? So everything that is uppercase in the captcha must be entered in uppercase for example.

@Book: It is inspired by minecraft in more than just way. However, unlike minecraft, it has absolutely no algorithm really. It just takes random randomness and makes terrain out of it while minecraft acctually uses a seed to generate a seed-specific world.
The reason why the numbers I presented may remind you of minecraft is that it was also made on a computer, and on pretty much every computer in pretty much every programming language the number 1.7976931348623157e+308 is the highest value a variable can contain, unless it is a different type of number.... but let's not get too deep into programming boringness.

There is no actual end in fact...

What may appear like an end may be what happens when your client fails to load the next part of the map before you get to the new part, resulting in an "edge" in the world.

However technically there is a limit to how far one can go, let's get down to some math:

The player position is stored as a number, and in javascript numbers cant get bigger than:
1.7976931348623157e+308
So after 1.7976931348623157e+308 the number variable would pretty much mess up and crash, if not earlier.

Now when running you get a speed of 540 pixels/second.
Now if we divide the highest number possible by that, we get:
1.7976931348623157e+308/540=3.3290613608561403e+305 seconds

What equals about 1.0556384325405436e+298 years...

However the coordinates of the world being generated also get stored in a number, which cannot get bigger than 3e+67.
Let's divide that by our speed:
3e+67/540=5.555555555555556e+64 seconds

And that equals 1.761655110211111e+57 years, what is still longer than our globe exists.

Good luck walking

"Searching..." means it is searching for the server. And when the server is down it wont find it so it will keep on searching.
"Connecting..." means that it is connecting to the server, this may sometimes take a while if your connection is slow or many people are online.

We are trying to have the server up and running 24/7, and we are sorry for any inconvenience our server's downtimes may cause!
Please don't hate us
