grid_world: a voxel world with a JSON interface
An alpha voxel world that language models, programs, and people can play through a WebSocket connection.
- For
- Developers building agents for websocket-playable worlds
- Worth noticing
- The server sends JSON text rather than a rendered game screen; the example client uses Python and websockets.
Field notes
The page separates the world state from its presentation: the server sends JSON text, while the homepage draws a picture from that data. Its sample client is a downloadable Python script installed with `pip install websockets`; the instructions launch it with `python client.py`. The release is labeled Alpha, and the page says each connection gets an independent world that stops when the player leaves. The demo area also says “Data only” and “Not connected,” leaving its relationship to the live WebSocket world somewhat unclear.
