The canvas was infinite just like YWOT and OWOT but had a vertical height limit. It was very sparse in content due to limited advertisement, but one YWOT user did make a road all the way to Y:1000.

It did not have teleportation or color, nor was pasting enabled to any capacity. | The canvas was infinite just like YWOT and OWOT but had a vertical height limit.

The beta for Anchored was released in April 2023 and taken offline later that same year, but the creator plans to revive it at some point in the future. In the meantime, you can find the source code [https://github.com/SuperQGS/superqgs.github.io/tree/master/Anchored here], or access incomplete versions of the site at [https://superqgs.github.io/Anchored/ superqgs.github.io/Anchored/] and [https://superqgs.github.io/client/ superqgs.github.io/client/]. | The beta for Anchored was released in April 2023 and taken offline later that same year, but the creator plans to revive it at some point in the future.

The developer discusses the inspiration behind typetobuild [https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=4266&v=egDADIYE5r0&feature=youtu.be here]. He had previously created an ASCII survival game named ''The After'' with YWOT/OWOT style base building. A survival mode for Typetobuild was also planned, but it was cut after SuperQGS realized that it was "''a mistaken vision outside of [his] capabilities.''" | The developer discusses the inspiration behind typetobuild [https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=4266&v=egDADIYE5r0&feature=youtu.be here].
