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!

If you're playing during the Spring Lisp Game Jam 2025 rating period, just enter a username and click "Join" to connect the world hosted by Spritely. We will be taking the server down after the rating period is over. We expect the server to get laggy and need a restart periodically, which will invalidate previously registered accounts.

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!
