Show HN: DroneWorld – Earth with multiplayer drones and Ethereum real estate

Thanks for trying it out. Opting into PvP also lets you shoot lasers and knock other drones down, which is fun as well.

The frontend is vanilla js + three.js, which renders server-cached AWS Terrain Tiles. This made it possible to render the entire Earth, so you can fly/teleport around biome-aware Alaskan mountains, Hawaiian islands, or anywhere else.

The backend is a Go server which tracks live player positions. This is running on a VPS until I need to scale.

And land ownership/skin purchase is tracked on the Ethereum Base network, also cached. So it's a proper Metaverse with blockchain enforced land ownership.

There's more to it, I can answer more questions, but that's a good overview. Thanks again.
