   Not quite ready to share a link to the project, I'm sure you know what   
   these passion project type deals are like, we all like to think our code   
   is beautiful art, but in reality to anyone else it looks like the   
   ravings of a mad man. With comments like:   
      
   // FIXME: Pretty sure this should be 64 but it *could* be 16   
      
   and   
      
   // Can't have await in constructors so don't wait for it to return,   
   // But it happens so fast its probably never going to be an issue   
      
   When i know full well this is probably going to be a race condition   
   issue at some point. :)   
      
   In regards to the world itself. Its a decentralized virtual world.   
   Imagine a decentralized SecondLife, or VRChat. Where anyone can spin up   
   a box with the server installed and add to the grid, create your own   
   virtual space, have friends over, create games inside the game and sell   
   (or give away) your creations to other users.   
      
   I do fully intend for this project to be open source (probably GPL), so   
   I promise to keep anyone that's interested updated over the next couple   
   of months and release the source once i get to a minimum viable product.
