About this experiment

Created by Victoria Eshelby for Today AI Learned, with AI helping on implementation. Read the story or explore the source.

This is a fictional graph-based movement simulation, not a real game map or production telemetry. Density counts sampled positions in 4 × 4 map-unit cells, including travel; it does not measure unique players, deaths, difficulty, or time spent. Recorded distance sums straight-line steps, not inferred gameplay routes.

The map image includes your current view, replay time, player selection, creator credit, and original URL. SVG is a vector image you can open in a browser.
