Kompressor did lots to help Blockland, and to commemorate his help, I drew this picture of him.

In the new update, slate will be infinite, kompressor said it

And the reason is that it's not going to use an invisible interior anymore. It's going to be a hardcoded floor.

[Swollow]

can someone explain to me how this hard-coded floor will work?

It's flat.
It goes forever.
You can build and walk on it.

I meant in terms of coding I don't really understand how you can just 'code' a floor

It's called modifying the engine.

"Coding a floor" is simple.  Say you have a game with complete running and jumping physics, but nothing to stand on.  Coding a floor would be as simple as checking to see whether the player is below a certain point, and if they are executing a bit of code that makes them land.

Which would be more laggy: Having brick physics set on full for 10,000 bricks or shadows and shaders set on full for 10,000 bricks?

Malformed comparison. "brick physics set on full" doesn't really define much.

he means 10,000 fake killed bricks at the same time with physics on max setting.
