[https://ourworldoftext.com/halloween23 /Halloween23] | [https://ourworldoftext.com/halloween23 /Halloween23] uses pixel art by Poopman as its [[Background images|image background]], which is stored in the site's code as [https://ourworldoftext.com/static/files/grave.webp /static/files/grave.webp]. There is also a script that displayed a wobbling, Halloween-themed emoji over your cursor. The emoji shows up at your location for everyone using the world, though this feature can be toggled off using a menu at the top left corner. | ||
In addition to the background, Poopman has filled the world with several pieces of high quality pixel art. These were meant to accompany an art contest that was taking place on the world. The contest was won by [[Bzuki]] (''to much controversy due to the questionable quality of his drawing''), who received membership on the page as a prize. | |||
Poopman would create similar worlds (''and art contests'') for [https://ourworldoftext.com/thanksgiving23 Thanksgiving 2023] and [https://ourworldoftext.com/christmasworld Christmas 2025 - 2030].<gallery mode="packed" heights="150" caption="Poopman pixel art from [https://ourworldoftext.com/Halloween23 /Halloween23]"> | |||
