I store them in a database especially set up for this project :)

no use in trying to hack it, it only stores the names entered and nothing else ;)

Ha, I wasn't going to try to hack it. I was just wondering if you put the effort in to have backend functionality just for creature names. Pretty cool. :)

I did :) You can find creatures other people have named, but it's very rare.. I like that it kinda show how large one million really is! There's 1000 planets with 1000 creatures each so it's going to take a while for people to name even one percent of that number :3

Weirdly, the first planet I went to had existing names!

Looking at the database, a lot of people go to the same galaxy (number 4) for some reason. And in that galaxy most go to the same solar system as well - weird 🤷‍♀️

Maybe that's why some people stumble over named creatures surprisingly quickly.

Some also seem to follow certain rules - my mom always went to the leftmost option for example.
