Is it an infinite plane, or a sphere?

  A sphere sounds quite unlikely. Maybe a torus, though.

    http://www.yourworldoftext.com/home/ http://www.yourworldoftext.com/home/ says it's a plane.

      Doesn't it depend on overflows that could be out of their control? If the page is larger than the largest width that your browser will display then it could overflow on scrolling and bring you back to the opposite page edge making it a sphere. Browser dependent post-modernity!

        I don't know how they did, specifically, but I could easily imagine it being like Google Maps. You need only load the tiles you see (and a few surrounding ones for good measure).

          You're correct. It's an "infinite" plane, depending on what integer overflows first. It would be easy to make a torus or sphere version.
