SpiteSpiral's inspiration, open-source components, and data services.

Inspiration & Acknowledgements

The SpiteSpiral project and our proprietary Nightmare v2 engine were directly inspired by the clever and minimalist web crawler tarpit Nepenthes, by zadzmo.org.

While our current platform is a new work, built from the ground up with a custom Procedural Content Generation (PCG) engine to be a massively scalable TaaS solution, we believe in honoring the ideas that spark innovation. We gratefully acknowledge the zadzmo.org project for providing the foundational concept that led to what SpiteSpiral has become today.
