====== Ozwomp is Online ======
"This game is memory of a video game as much as it is a video game. It’s incomplete and has no beginning or end, it exists sometime in the afternoon of Christmas day, when the day seems to go on forever and life is nothing but tea and frosted cake; its an endless pause screen on an abandoned PlayStation 2, while the world does something more important somewhere else." \\

**[[https://ozwomp.online|Ozwomp is Online]]** is a [[3d_worlds|virtual world]] located in [[ozway|The Ozway]]. You can travel there from [[https://melonking.net|Melonking.net]] (via the projects navbar or the downloads page), the [[https://melonland.net/|MelonLand.net]] entrance page (via the sidebar nav), and the [[https://forum.melonland.net|forum]] (via the rotating moon in the upper left of the default forum theme). On Mondays, when the forum is closed, you can get there by clicking on Manhatten (the mysterious figure floating around the lower right of the page). {{ ::screenshot_2025-07-04_at_12-22-07_ozwomp_is_online.png?400|}}

===== Bugs =====
If you play the game a lot, you will notice that the ID is #-1. this is usually because the game disconnected from the servers before it was able to assign the player an ID.
===== Limitations ======
* No chat! (except for only saying greetings and spawning hearts)
* You cannot collect discs unlike [[Ozwomp's Voyage]]
* Really, there isn't ways to do much interaction with other players, other then to spawn hearts.
* You cannot change your name/ID. You can't even see other peoples ID's[?]
* Because you can't collect those discs, there really isn't objectives!
===== TODO =====
TODO: EVERYTHING. STRIKE OUT A SENTENCE WHEN YOU ARE DONE.
- Need to look around, interacting on what each thing does
- DOCUMENT THE GOD DAMN CHARACTERS PLEASE ??
- Instructions on how you can self-host your own version of ozwomp? maybe?
- Because there is technically so much content on the pages, split things in there own page. this will be a lot.
- Figure out the song when you are moving around.
