  • Every piece of scenery, whether it be a house or a tree, takes up a number of squares. Squares are vital for spacing the world out. Without squares, co-ordinates would be next to impossible, and inserting trees/scenery would be very hard. With squares, it is easy for Jagex to space everything out and leave room for players to move about. However, there are some drawbacks with using squares, most notably the inability of 360° movement. This means that the player can only move up and down, left and right, and diagonal.
  • Game squares, also known as tiles, metres, spaces, or steps are the basic unit of length that divide the RuneScape overworld. The game squares form a grid, dictating where objects may be. All objects' locations will be defined by a single square. All locations and sizes can only be integer numbers.
