==User Interface==
The Worlds Chat user is allowed to choose from a gallery of existing three-dimensional avatars to be their representation in the virtual world. The gallery, like the rest of the game, was presented in a fashion similar to that of a first person shooter, less the hands and weapon in the view port. Once an avatar is chosen, the user is then placed in a central hub of a virtual space station. The user would see representations of the other online users who are in the same area of the "space station". Users could exit a platform, through sliding doors, travel through halls and find other platforms with groups of people to interact with. The screen is split into several areas including one for messages from the software program itself, a window with a Doom (video game) like 3d interface, a window for chat messages and a space station map indicating which platform the user currently inhabited. Both a keyboard and mouse were integral parts of the user interface.
