TextWall: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

== Controversy ==

Many OWOTers (especially anons) dislike Textwall, even going as far as making death threats to Textwall users and spamming the website using scripts. Each anti-Textwaller has their own reason for disliking Textwall. Many dislike the site because of its younger user base which comes onto OWoT and “ruins it”.

== Differences from OWOT ==

=== UI ===

One of TextWall's main features is its modern UI.

=== Visible cursors ===

Cursors in TextWall are visible to the public by default. They also display their owners' usernames(''or IDs for anons'').

=== Limited color palette ===

TextWall only has 31 colors, all of which are rather light. This limits the range of creations, but also makes the canvas more visually appealing(''whereas OWOT can often look like an eyesore when it is spammed with a wide range of bright, contrasting colors'').

=== Coordinate system ===

Each coordinate in TextWall corresponds to a single character/cell, whereas each coordinate in OWOT is composed of 4x4 tiles(''which are themselves divided into 16x8 cells'').

=== Canvas size ===

TextWall starts to show noticeable glitches whenever you teleport beyond a certain point.

=== Worlds ===

Users can access walls(''the equivalent of [[worlds]] on OWOT'') by adding characters after the TextWall URL. Unlike in OWOT worlds, however, walls are not located in separate canvases. Each one corresponds to a different coordinate on the main canvas. For example, entering [https://tw.2s4.me/help tw.2s4.me/help] teleports you to X:-89120 Y:-59510.

=== Moderation ===

It is unknown Duck handled moderation in the original TextWall.

FP is significantly more liberal about appointing admins on [https://tw.2s4.me/ tw.2s4.me] than on OWOT, most likely due to the fact that he himself doesn't pay much attention to the site and is willing to let the community moderate it in his stead. Moderators on FP's TextWall include [[lime.owot]], Waller Ameno, and others.

There is also a heavy limit on the speed of pasting/writing text, especially for anons. Erasing and pasting spaces is much faster, however.
