How to play GraffitiWorld

1. Open the map. The world loads at street level. Drag to look, scroll to zoom, and use the search box to jump to a real address.
2. Pick a brush and a colour. There are 10 brushes and 12 colours in the toolbar.
3. Drag across a wall. Paint lands on the geometry itself, so it wraps around corners and is correctly hidden behind anything standing in front of it.
4. Come back later. Every stroke is stored on the server. Reload tomorrow and your piece is still there.

You do not need an account to paint, and paint made without one is just as permanent. It stays on the wall for everyone. What an account adds is a record: XP, levels, your coverage total, a profile, and a place on the leaderboard. None of that is tracked for anonymous players, so those numbers start counting from the day you sign up.

Each brush lays down a different amount of paint over a different spread, which is what makes outlines, fills and texture possible.

Press Esc for settings: general, video, audio, and controls. Everything is saved on your device, so it survives a reload whether or not you have an account.

Every one of those can be rebound under Settings → Controls, including a direct key for each individual brush. Bindings follow the physical key, so they work the same on QWERTY, AZERTY and QWERTZ keyboards.

If the map runs slowly, Settings → Video has the levers that matter most: lower the render scale, hide other players’ paint on a busy wall, or cap the frame rate.

Your paint is measured in painted surface area, not in number of strokes, so covering a large wall costs more than a small tag and overlapping the same spot twice costs nothing extra.

You carry a tank of 12,500 m² (134,549 sq ft), roughly a 50 m × 50 m wall or several large murals. It refills continuously: an empty tank is full again after 4 hours, and paint you have not spent is never taken away at a reset. Both the size of the tank and how fast it refills can be upgraded in the shop.

One spot also holds a maximum of 600 strokes. Past that, the oldest paint in that spot is culled to make room, so a wall stays a living surface rather than an unreadable pile.

XP counts paint you have laid down, for all time. You earn 1 XP per 150 sq ft sprayed, and you keep it once the work stands: being painted over, erased later, or having old strokes culled never costs you XP or levels.

The one exception is undo. Undoing a stroke hands back the paint you spent on it, so it also takes back the XP. Otherwise painting and undoing the same wall forever would be free levels. Undo is for mistakes; the eraser is for clearing work you meant to make.

The leaderboard measures something different: how much surface you currently hold on the map. That number rises when you paint and falls when your paint is covered, so holding a spot is its own skill. XP records the work you did; the leaderboard shows what you still hold today.
