Open Field Framework

OFF is the machinery behind worlds like this.

OFF is the browser runtime, renderer, simulation core, networking layer, and operations surface behind splanet.io. These sections show the pieces already visible in public: static planet viewing, cell-based simulation, distributed ownership, and live observability.

Planet Runtime

Rendering

OFF renders planets from reusable data packages. The homepage, the viewer, and the OFF pages can all open the same staged surface instead of relying on a one-off illustration.

cells

OFF planet rendering demo

OFF's synthetic cell world, loaded unchanged as an embeddable browser runtime.

Open viewer
Browser-first

A WebGPU canvas path with a mobile fallback where needed.

Data surface

Terrain channels, cells, and overlays are shipped as data, not page artwork.

Reusable

Hero, viewer, and deep-dive pages can point at the same staged bundle.

Cell Rules

Simulation

OFF treats the planet as local pieces. Each cell can run rules, exchange borders, and stay inspectable as the world gets larger.

Local work

Cells keep simulation small enough to reason about.

Replay paths

Fixed-step systems keep debugging and verification possible where the game needs them.

Visible output

The splanet live page reads the running world for tick rate, cells, units, and queue state.

Cell Atlas

Distributed Ownership

The world is divided into cube-sphere cells with explicit ownership. The atlas exposes a public-safe view of which runtimes hold which parts of the planet right now.

Live atlas

Cell Atlas

This grid is built from the public Observatory snapshot for the production splanet.io world. It shows which runtime owns each cube-sphere cell at the public-safe level.

Ownership

Each cell has an owner the tools can inspect.

Topology

Work can move across cells while the product still presents one planet.

Safe public view

Snapshots hide endpoints and secrets while keeping health and topology legible.

Static Link

Static Viewer

The simplest OFF demo is a planet that opens from static files: export the world, host the bundle, send the link.

hero

Static planet viewer

OFF's synthetic cell world opening in the OFF browser runtime.

Open viewer
Static assets

The viewer can be hosted as files and a manifest.

Portable demo

The same runtime can sit on a homepage, product page, devlog, or direct viewer URL.

Path to live

Static, quasi-live, and live modes are converging on the same viewer contract.
