Goblinville

Goblinville is a multiplayer virtual world demo developed by the Spritely Institute to show off a networked Goblins program running in the browser via the Hoot Scheme to WebAssembly compiler. Players can move around, chat, plant crops in tilled soil, and harvest them. The "game" part never materialized but we hope you enjoy the demo anyway!

This page hosts the game client only. To play, you need either:

1. A friend who is already running the server and has shared their server URI with you
2. To run the server yourself. See the README for setup instructions.

Controls

• Arrow keys: move
• Z: interact (harvest crop)
• X: use current item (plant crop)
• 1-8: select item in inventory
• Enter: open chat dialog (press Enter again to send message)
• M: toggle music

Sorry, we did not have time to add mobile controls!
