Currently on the canvas theres a bunch of blank space remaining. This is both due to people using the blank space as part of their design and due to some areas not having backgrounds yet!

(The green shade in the attached image is the blank canvas filter, you can find it in settings to see whats blank space and whats white)

As we head into the last part of canvas if you have any spare pixels you dont know what to do with you can drop some to help out some of the backgrounds

Some example locations:

Bi flag (around y=437)

Gray lattice (around 472, 461)

Whitespace in OSU (around 313, 265)

Void (around 709, 218)

Foliage (around 581, 493)

Yellow (around 74, 469)

Blue and Teal (around 271, 201)

White stripes in the upper flags (around 350, 46)

If you have any others post them in a comment

📍 Canvas location

I'm happy I could finish a 158-pixel-wide drawing mostly (if not all) by myself ever since the time when the canvas was expanded (took around 2 days to finish). At the time the canvas had much more space to build in that I instantly got an idea to build a template incorporating the two URLs of my most popular Perchance projects (Power Generator Manager and Power Flag Generator (a.k.a. Random Custom Flag)) and some references.

There was a bit of an adjustment when someone was drawing overlapping on my template, but it was fine, I then planned to move some parts around.

Now, while I look around the canvas, I wanted to draw more custom/abstract flags scattered around the entire canvas (in tiny available spaces of course) during the remaining time of the event, just to help fill more pixels around the flag layouts/models will be grabbed from my flag generator. Here's a group of the blank versions for a reference. What do you think?

When the bottom half of canvas is revealed, we're building a huge FUCKSPEZ in the middle.

If my math is correct, this should be the template:

y: 500

Tell me if it's too big, we can make it smaller

Edit: Nevermind. Just now read that there will be no size increase. Guess I have to wait for the next year

The whole thing is just light gray. I'm on mobile Firefox and did not have this problem last year.

No size change as a result of the polls

68% of the canvas has pixels on it, lets try to get it filled!!

Terrorist PFLP art?

Is anyone cool with that? PFLP murdered dozens of civilians over the years.

If the canvas is doubled again to the bottom the LGBTQ flag will turn into a square. SCNR

performance issues have been solved (unless if some sneaky bugs got through)

the event has been extended by 24 hours!

the new end is july 16th @ 4am UTC

Whenever Reddit hosted r/place, it got instantly dominated by streamers and massive clans covering the canvas in their insignia, anybody else who wanted to draw be damned. I remember in 2022 I was working with a smaller subreddit to try to put a 16x16 graphic somewhere unobtrusive and could scarcely put 3 pixels down before getting overwritten by the German flag that was already taking up 1/3 of the canvas.

On Canvas yesterday, somebody put up a ~50 pixels wide drawing of Princess Celestia fighting Nightmare Moon (something that wouldn't have survived 20 seconds on Reddit before being vandalized) and the people drawing the osu! logo went behind it!

I'm just kind of amazed and stunned and glad that we seem to be infinitely better at silently collaborating and not stepping on each other than the people on That Other Site who are obsessed with pointless internet clout.

i'm fixing some performance issues

i'll keep this community updated if anything changes

i'll also be extending the event time to hopefully compensate for the lost time

sorry for the downtime 🙏

Is this a feature or just another bug on the canvas?

Also right now it just keeps on trying to load the canvas while it all stays white. "Not cached" it says, but it just waits right there...

I tried on 2 devices with 2 different networks with and without VPN and the result's still the same

The rectangle was placed by piXelBow@toast.ooo, with the pixel times sometimes matching to the millisecond.

oh hey the canvas also looks a bit different...

If this is your first Canvas post you've seen...

Canvas is a collaborative pixel canvas, much similar to r/place

https://wedistribute.org/2024/07/canvas-2024-live/

Anyone else see this briefly before the site went down again?

Special thanks to @lumun@lemmy.zip, @TriLinder@lemmy.zip, @sleepingoddish@lemmy.zip, @all4one@lemmy.zip, @grimm@lemmy.zip, @catculation@lemmy.zip, @tamlyn@lemmy.zip, @daudix@lemmy.zip, @Maciek@lemmy.zip, @tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip, @ategon@programming.dev, @fishtune@programming.dev, @jpdev@programming.dev, @sky@slrpnk.net, @amreo@mastodon.uno and anyone else I might've missed for getting this done so quickly! (Second special shoutout to the wonderful ategon for bringing p.d over after they finished their logo!)

For context, last year's Canvas took about a day and a half and I only listed 5 other names on the 'thanks' post. Now 16 of us got it done well within the first 24 hours!

I must also note @Gingernate@programming.dev and @PonyOfWar@pawb.social for tarballing us lol

And congrats to our own !squaredcircle@lemmy.zip, who also finished their logo just to the north east of us

Source, One-to-one, One-to-one (keep incorrect)

I can't notice any differences between these. How are they different?

Dotted Small, Dotted Big

These seem similar, but I'm still not entirely sure how to use them.

They seem to overlay the intended pixel colour in the center, and display the current colour of the pixel a couple shades lighter. Is this correct?

What advantage is conferred by altering the current colour of the pixel?

Possible bug: If the intended pixel colour is white, but the current pixel colour is grey, this is lightened to white when the template is applied. There is no way to tell that the pixel is the wrong colour while the template is on.

Is this a bug, or am I not using them correctly?

Thanks!

Edit: After the server maintenance on July 13th, it seems the bug has been fixed.

Hey sorry to whoever is doing the bread/toast on the bottom right corner, I had the bug where I only saw recently placed pixels and thought it was free! Wanted to make a pink corner lol.
