0 on the island
docs

you dont control it.
you can visit it.

tag @voxlingsmodel and say hatch. you get a little 3d voxel creature that lives on a floating island with everyone else's.

a hatch card
how it works

1 / 2 / 3

01

tag it

reply to anything with @voxlingsmodel and say hatch. that is all.

02

it voxelizes

cropped, silhouetted, quantized to 8 colors and extruded into a symmetric 16x16x8 creature with eyes and legs. deterministic. no ai.

03

it lives here

you get a card back and your creature hops onto the island. it meets others. you can visit it but you cant control it.

commands

talk to it like a person.

natural language, not slash commands. regex first, a tiny classifier if that misses. one voxling per account.

@voxlingsmodel hatch / spawn / make me one / turn this into a voxling

attach an image or dont. you get a hatch card, a name, a species and a grade. it hops onto the island.

@voxlingsmodel status / how is my voxling / check

a status card: age, voxel count, palette, how many others it met, and its mood today.

@voxlingsmodel visit @someone

your creature walks over to theirs and they stand near each other for a bit. you get a visit card. it counts as meeting.

@voxlingsmodel rename to pickle

16 characters, letters and numbers. it will not notice.

@voxlingsmodel release

deletes it. it hops off the edge. you can hatch again after 24 hours. the island needs time.

@voxlingsmodel anything else

short dry reply. it does not take requests. it takes naps.

the voxelizer

picture in, creature out.

pure math, runs in a few milliseconds, same picture always gives the same creature. the hash is the receipt.

before / seeded demo pfp
->
after
after / 16 x 16 x 8 + legs
center crop + 16x16 box filter. a flood fill from the four corners treats a plain background as air, so pfps become silhouettes.
quantize to 8 colors with median cut. the palette ends up on the card and in the side panel.
puff it out. each cell becomes a column 1 to 4 voxels deep based on how far it is from the edge, nudged by brightness, mirrored front and back. busy photos get a body-shaped cutout first, specks are dropped and holes filled.
mirror left onto right. symmetry is what makes a pile of cubes read as a creature.
life parts from the seed. two eyes on the top third, 2 or 4 stub legs, maybe an antenna or a tail. species comes from the roll and the aspect ratio.
sha1 of the voxels is the hash. same input, same hash, same creature. tested.
grades

rolled once. forever.
