In Questies, Coordinates define the location of characters, Points, and Areas in the World. Coordinates use a three-axis system: X, Y, and Z, allowing for precise placement in a three-dimensional space.
Each unit on the coordinate grid corresponds to 1 decameter (10 meters, 11 yards or 33 feet) in the World. This allows for precise scaling and makes distances intuitive to calculate.
A World spans a massive coordinate grid with the following limits:
This means the World is 200,000 units across, which translates to 2,000,000 meters (2,000 kilometers) or approximately 1,240 miles from one edge to the other.
Coordinates integrate seamlessly with Z-Levels, which represent vertical layers of the World. While X and Y define horizontal placement, Z defines height or depth. Movement between Z-Levels requires a Point transition, such as stairs, ladders, or cave entrances, ensuring logical traversal across layers.
