# Introduction Whirlsplash is a [WorldServer](http://dev.worlds.net/private/GammaDocs/WorldServer.html) protocol implementation written in [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/). ## Purpose Two *main* reasons; 1. Worlds' official servers are old, slowly deteriorating, and *probably unmaintained*. 2. Worlds is **old**. The shutdown of the servers is inevitable. TLDR: To keep Worlds' legacy going for future generations. ### License [GNU General Public Liense v3.0](https://github.com/Whirlsplash/whirl/blob/master/LICENSE)
