Outerworlds is an 8-bit Atari-based alternative universe www.outerworlds.com, it currently runs on a 200mhz Slackware linux box hiding behind a metal-cutting machine at 95 Parker St, in Newburyport, MA. Its vast architectural abilities include walls, doors, floors, ceilings, and lack of walls commonly known as windows. Creative builders in Outer Worlds can often create windows with careful non-placement of walls. Sometimes a builder will place a wall on its side, thus breaking all three-dimensional rules, place yet another one above it and shifted to a side, and repeat this process and make stairs. At this point the builder is billed the $49.95/minute surcharge for building in all three dimensions at once. Often building contests are hosted by user Flagg in which the boundaries of the server's patented three-dimensional-surcharge-detecting-engine is skirted by these elite builders. Winners of these competitions are awarded the $49.95 entry fee they paid to enter the contests.
Outer Worlds also allows chat, with exclusive features such as shift-key support. Keypad operation costs extra. [1]
Outer Worlds has many strong points, the strongest being its customized Havok Physics Engine, which not only allows for the standard Newtonian physics, but also provides ENZONIAN Hyper-Physics, which allows the server and client software to render standard Newtonian physics to great amounts of accuracy and then completely ignore them. This revolutionary technology has allowed Active Worlds to sell independent Universes to organizations such as NASA, DARPA, Lockheed Martin and Airbus. With the specialized code that allows for the 'Ignore Reality' checkbox in simulations, NASA engineers have cut decades from their research and development efforts. The Outer Worlds public Universe has this option enabled, as a showcase of its extremely fast physics processing and ignoring potential. Corporations such as Canon, Nike, and Schwinn are currently evaluating this state of the art simulation technology. Microsoft is also considering implementing ENZONIAN Hyper-Physics in their planned release of DirectX 14. Graphics giants AMD and nVidia are also in talks with Outer Worlds. The exclusive engine-pre-engine-compiling-engine instructions, when offloaded to an AW-capable-GPU (Code named Dark Knight) which can ignore Newtonian Physics faster than anything else on the market due to the new and patented Chrispegian Algorithm [2] will increase simulation frame counts by orders of magnitudes. The latest success of ENZONIAN Hyper-Physics is the simply misunderstood
First discovered by two enterprising entrepreneurs Cryonics and ENZO (formerly known as Rick) (formerly known as Ricardo) (formerly known as Enrique) (formerly known as Eric) (formerly known as Erica) in what appeared to be a bag of McDonalds after a long night in the greater Boston area. An IoMega 150MB ZipDisk was left in this bag. Whether or not this bag was left on purpose for them to find, God's will, or left as part of a ransom agreement will likely never be known. At first unable to discover what was on this disk, a pre-Cryonics JP McCormick then had a flash of inspiration and raffled off the disk in the tech community, but not before rigging the raffle for ENZO to win. With the new funds available to go to the local CompUSA, and buy a smokin' pair of cuff-links on the side, the pair bought a Zip-Drive and found Activeworlds. After its accidental formatting, it was bronzed and mounted on a plaque in the OW Headquarters in Geneva, Iceland.
