The Earth is round to keep you from walking out of the simulator. If it was flat, there’d be a door or something.

    You’ve actually never walked a step in your entire life. Only, the memory of having just completed the final step of walking to your current position is injected into your mind and continuously updated. This avoids the need for an infinitely large flat surface.

      When you move, you actually stay in the same coords (0,0,0) and the world is moved around, avoid bugs with lost precision at large values. Twinkling stars? Glitches in the rendering of far away objects
