Worldhaus was added on the 12th June 2017 as a fun update for the talkhaus' 8th birthday. Worldhaus is a massively multiplayer building game inspired by reddit's r/place, which was a collaborative project and social experiment where anyone with a reddit account could connect and draw on the canvas resulting in abject chaos. Comparatively, worldhaus is fairly tame, since the world is infinite and each 16x16 chunk can be locked by a user to prevent griefing.

How to access Worldhaus

At launch, Worldhaus was available through an announcement banner at the top of the page, which automatically logged you into the game in a small frame which expanded when you clicked into it. Worldhaus was also and is still available at [1] by logging into your talkhaus account.

Commands

setspeed

Sets the speed that the player can move at. This was originally an admin command. The base speed of all players is 200 units, but to move faster a player can type e.g. /setspeed 500, after which time it will be possible to move much faster. The limit of the speed is 500 to prevent database overload from players loading too much of the map too fast.

dimension

Teleports the player to another dimension. The dimensions are provided as a way to have places to build that are separate from the main map. By typing "/dimension test" the player can switch to a dimension called "test". The default dimension is called "default" so the player can return to it by typing "/dimension default".

escape

Teleports the player back to the default spawn in the default dimension, the entry town. By typing /escape, a lost player can always find their way back to civilization.
