Depending on whats possible, we could do something similar to R/place and every so often expand the canvas start off with something small eg.512x512 and add another 512 px. along side
If I remember right, r/place “scaled up” by adding more blank canvas. But it might be more interesting to actually scale up the previous pixels as well, so each iteration is overlaying the previous one with higher detail.
The end result wouldn’t look as empty, because it would be easier to fill large areas early on.
Or to make it more realistic, let it expand like the universe. I.e. add extra space between each two pixels:
example
w=blank/white, b=non-blank wwwww wbbbw wbbww wwwww -> wwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwww wwbwbwbwww wwwwwwwwww wwbwbwwwww wwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwOr keep non-blank pixels together, because of pixel bounds.
The chat wasn’t working for me. There is a hotkey (‘B’) for that but nothing appeared for me and I don’t know if something was wonky on my end. Would be nice to be able to easily communicate with other peeps during the event.
Like xuv said, it was a matter of moderation and how Matrix is much better setup for moderation. I failed to remove the mentions to the chat though, which did confuse people, sorry about that.
for next years I would like to better connect the on-site chat with Matrix to make chatting a lot easier (and bridging a Discord server to the Matrix space)

That would be great!
First of all, thanks for this event. I love things like this.
Then i have an idea for the next canvas. What if the virgin pixels have no cooldown. Only already placed pixels gain more and more cooldown. A bit like on everyonedraw.com. this way the canvas would be full very soon, then the wars begin. I understand that many dont want rivality but i guess there are some who do want. Maybe it could be alternating. Obe year peaceful, one year war.
Permanent one working with a different model. Like 1 pixel per hour with a fixed drop rate (instead of this “stay and place as fast as you can for best performance”), and you can hold like 36 pixels. So basically you drop a few dozen pixels daily then you’re done. After every 100,000 clicks, you move the window 100 pixels to the right, making the leftmost 100 pixels locked forever creating a slowly growing endless immutable banner.
Infinite German flag? Sounds like an infinite German flag to me
You could mitigate that by adding a limited, rotating color pallet. every time pixels are locked two colors are taken away and two different colors are added. You would always be able to see beforehand when certain colors would be made available, enabling a new level of planing. It also forces creative solutions in defending your art
That idea would even work standalone without the immutable thing
Ban Political Ads
Why?:
Political ads should stay out of the canvas for gods sake, common sense.
Its not just my view but the 5 dudes from the political ad “Volt” aka “Volt Europe” will say “iTs ArT”, “LoOk At ThE GaMe LoGoS” - yeah those are FAN ARTS. A political party CANT have FANS, they can have just voters, who want to gain power somewhere in the world, and they use a “neutral” space to advertise their political party. I hope for those guys they get some fat rewards for their ad on the canvas.
Edit: Thanks for the confirmation @ downvoters that this is for good.
Sounds like you’re still salty for at first thinking it was an energy company and getting publicly corrected. You had no clue what Volt was when you first complained about it.
We have Karl Marx on the canvas, we have the anarchism star, we have info material on climate change and veganism, we literally have legal texts, we have LGBTQ+ statements and flags, not to mention the multitude of national flags and symbols - and you didn’t take offense with any of them. The canvas will always, in part, display political stuff. And what we did was just another logo. No slogan, no content, no call to vote a specific way.
You tried to grief with your 5+ alt accounts, we played fair. At the end our logo came out pretty nicely. And you will just have to live with that.
we have LGBTQ+ statements and flags
Those can’t be political statements because that’s just plain existence.
I absolutely agree that “Trans rights are human rights” shouldn’t be political. It should be absolutely out of question to doubt it even for one second, but here we are in the 21th century and people are still being prosecuted simply for their way of existing. So while the existence of LGBTQ+ people is simply a beautiful fact of life, our ability and will to publicly create and celebrate a representation of them IMHO is inherently political. It is a way for (a / our) society to repeatedly signal to each other how we want to live together. As seen by the fact how uncontested the flags and statements largely were. I’d love to see 9gag try that.
And who should decide if it’s a political ad or not? You could count anything as political ad. Of course there are more obvious examples, like the logo of a political party. But there’s also symbols of political groups, like LGBTQ flags, free software mascots, free software license logos, the fuckcars banner, and whatnot. Your suggestion is just not feasible.
My son came up with a great idea where we could add a short pop-up note to a pixel or coordinate, perhaps with a viewing expiry time or until the pixel is changed, which would allow for direct communication with other people on the canvas. You could activate the note with a right click of the mouse, for example.
Maybe also unsolicitedly notify any users who recently placed pixels in a radius around the message.
