Spawn is the name for the center of the canvas at X: 0 Y: 0. It is the first place you visit when entering the site. It usually has a lot of spam around it. The Center Console contains the World of the Day, a bunch of links including one to Heey's Teleportation Subway, and a welcome sign.

You can press the "Home" key on your numpad to go to spawn immediately.

Center Console

Scripting

Spam

Spawn is commonly subjected to various spam attacks, whether big or small, in various forms.

Image pasters

Animations

Often located inside the Center Console.

Crawlers

The most notable crawler (2022 - Present).

Sometimes, near the Square of Publicity, crawler scripts, scripts that crawl a list of URLs, may be found. The most well-known example is found around X: 3 Y: 3, created by yiff_plus, remaining still active for the most extensive time of all previous scripts like it. It crawls various links across the internet, sorting crawled links by domain name.

Progress bars

Similar to crawlers, 'progress' bars may also be found at /. One notable example is a progress bar script by JustAnOWOTUser visualizing the time elapsed until the week and month ends. It was once found below the Square of Publicity, but after measures were taken to deter this, it moved nearby the crawler.

Counters

Around early 2024, above or below the Square of Publicity were 'counter' scripts, usually run by Fernozzle, hosted a linearly or logarithmically increasing number of an arbitrary unit or scale. The most common of these were "(user) has baked (number) of cupcakes" or "(user) has typed (number) times". Counters usually have a bad reputation due to being considered 'eyesores' or being annoyances to other users.

lime infrastructure

By lime.owot and his friends.

lime.radio was a script that communicated with its clients via cmd commands located around ten tiles from the Square of Publicity. Users could "tune into" the "radio" by executing the JavaScript code linked on canvas in their browser in an OWoT tab connected to the same world as the radio.

Geography

Cities

Roads

A variety of roads exist(ed) around Spawn. They were regularly maintained by FP in the early 2020s but have since disappeared, causing Spawn to feel much emptier by 2025.

The roads temporarily restored by Guest-1052 in 2025.

Railroad

Located directly above the center.

Art

Stickmen

Occasionally, stickmen doing various activities such as talking or interacting with each other may also be seen. These stickmen also often accompany ASCII artworks such as vehicles or buildings. Sometimes, people use the stickmen for roleplay, such as the Combined Military Brigade, VYN, Baumer, lime.owot, and nonaem's stickmen interacting with each other.
