might be a codec issue

try with uhhhhh

first off try playing it in mpv

because if it's a codec issue mpv should play it although youtube woin't

but yeah try -vf format=yuv420p -c:v libx264

allxy

1:19 AM

Still refactoring...

allxy

2:03 AM

Ugh... the backend and frontend need to share the same config file but the frontend uses esm and the backend doesn't

I guess I can set a property on globalThis

This really has stagnated. Maybe we should just stop it and take a break for a day

Unrelated String

2:37 AM

i feel like the more truly stagnated it is the less it matters to formally end before we're ready to roll the new iteration out
but taking a break for a day or two is also smart

allxy

2:55 AM

Rule #1 of canvas: Text will always be edited

des54321

its too easy of a target not to

Unrelated String

3:15 AM

low effort, high payoff

also just classic

des54321

I feel like our low-res 4x3 pixel font has sort of become a trademark of canvas

Jo King

like watching someone's stream of conscious

allxy

Yeah lol

des54321

I do love that it doesnt pause even on phrases that stayed up for a while

allxy

3:26 AM

Yeah, I think that's a helpful feature

I especially loved the bit where DLosc tried to change HOLY LISP to TINY LISP while Ginger tried to change it to HOLY APOL. Result: TINY APOL

Unrelated String

i tried making it tiny lisp

i don't think dlosc was here

allxy

Oh :P thought it was DLosc

Don't remember who suggested this but I've locally implemented right-click-to-color-pick

Due to everything being so interdependent the code's become a mess

/* Most of the code below is written in ES6 modules

Unrelated String

wait does node break if you use es6

that's

sad

allxy

No, but it requires .mjs and stuff

Unrelated String

5:00 AM

the problem with text changes is they go by too fast on the timelapse if nothing else happens between them :(

allxy

5:13 AM

Doing a true-time-based timelapse would be a whole new can of worms

Unrelated String

lmao

yeah that could be
something

des54321

isnt that not even possible now? because the log files dont actually have timestamps?

allxy

5:32 AM

They do

des54321

5:49 AM

oh thats good at least, i guess it was only the first iteration ones i remember hearing didnt have timestamps

allxy

I currently have placed 9587 pixels.

I'm gonna try to get to 10k before this iteration ends

Jo King

6:30 AM

Your favourite colours are:
Black ×746
Light grey ×443
Can you tell I'm the one placing flies

allxy

It was you all along?

Lol

Honestly thought it was Ginger

And meh, my top 5 are the monochromes and red

Jo King

it does seem like i have too many whites

allxy

I have over 2k whites

Cleaning stuff up is just quite common lol

Hold on, I'll analyse the entire log file

Top ones globally

I'm surprised light green is so high

CMC: Guess what the least used colour is

Unrelated String

6:47 AM

yeah wait what the fuck is light green doing that high

allxy

There's the mona lisa and the lyxal-beings

And maybe the savanna

Maybe there was something historic

Unrelated String

not surprised it's doing better than last time due to those + that little border thing

allxy

OHH I just realised

Unrelated String

but above red?

allxy

It's because of my bots

Sorry

Unrelated String

6:48 AM

ahh

lmao

allxy

They would've been placing that very frequently for about ten minutes

Unrelated String

also i wonder what proportion of the yellow is just from PONY FIST edits

...and the fire

and all of the ukraine

and COKE

allxy

@UnrelatedString I can count that!

Unrelated String

okay i'm surprised yellow isn't above pink lmao

allxy

Guess what's at the bottom?

Unrelated String

6:50 AM

hmm

allxy

@UnrelatedString 627

Unrelated String

my gut says #335590 even though it's the background on chaos incarnate

okay yeah if there's only 627 yellow from that that souinds about right

maybe orange hasn't gotten a lot of action either though

allxy

@UnrelatedString Wdym "chaos incarnate"?

@UnrelatedString Orange is sixth from the bottom

Unrelated String

the text that's changed a ton

PORO FIST

hmm

allxy

That's fifth from the bottom with 1200ish

Unrelated String

6:54 AM

wow

beige is another contender i suppose

allxy

The bottom colour has still been used 700 times

@UnrelatedString Just above orange

Unrelated String

brown's gotten way too much tea action for it to be brown

allxy

So, I'd say you're pretty good at colour palette design

Unrelated String

lol thanks

dark purple isn't super represented on the current canvas but it's had a turbulent history so it's probably way above orange

allxy

Yep

Unrelated String

6:56 AM

pale pink is on the trans flag and was in neco anya's hair but it's been fairly rare otherwise so maybe that

allxy

Correctamundo!

Okay, full results: run gist.github.com/chunkybanana/0209618a4f8995d9c0d4b1fbba7d3831 in your console on canvas.rto.run/log/1.log

Unrelated String

🥳

genuine question how do i run that

allxy

Open the devtools console?

Unrelated String

like i open the log file in the browser and do it from there?

allxy

Yep

Unrelated String

6:58 AM

whoa

allxy

I'm too lazy to use fetch

@UnrelatedString What's surprising?

(Aside from lime green)

Unrelated String

holy shit it's close with #0DAD61

which i actually completely forgot about in thinking about what would be lowest lmao

allxy

That's the darkish-bluish-green right?

Unrelated String

yeah

i've only used hex codes for the colors i can't think of a good way to describe lmao

allxy

Until recently I had 602x dark grey and red

Unrelated String

7:00 AM

wait that's a completely different pink than i thought would be at the bottom

allxy

@UnrelatedString Oh lol

That one's probably a bit inflated due to my bots

Unrelated String

yeah

allxy

And the trans flag in general

Unrelated String

yeah

it hasn't gone as wild as the bi flag but it's still big and in the middle of things

allxy

7:15 AM

\o/ 10k pixels!!!

Unrelated String

\o/

allxy

How many do you have?

11949

Noice lol

thanks

7:16 AM

I don't want to think about how long we've been placing

Unrelated String

lol

yeajh

allxy

7:33 AM

Well, the PL corner is finally complete

I'm quite proud of how many more languages I fit in there

C#, haskell, R, Julia, HTML5, CSS3, Ruby, Java and three Pythons

I've really done a lot of stuff

(No, I didn't originally draw the haskell/c#, but I moved them)

allxy

8:42 AM

Okay WTF happened to newton

allxy

11:03 AM

@RadvylfPrograms When you wake up, would you mind pulling from github, stopping the backend and renaming 1.log to 2.log? Please leave the frontend up for timelapsing

Oof I'm the only person online

'night

Ginger

nooo makina

wait why is the paintbrush long

Ginger

12:20 PM

okay I have added a makina logo

Jo King

12:49 PM

those eyes are looking a little doki doki

Ginger

tfw your eyes are obscured by blocks of obsidian

do you like my makina logo

Jo King

i dunno what or where that is

Ginger

it's next to shrek's present

I made it in about 5 minutes

Jo King

ah i noticed that. looks neat

Ginger

:)

Jo King

12:54 PM

i think we're pretty much at the limit of this iteration, only space left is above your logo

Ginger

yea

time to put a smiley face in and call it a day

the canvas is complete!

now we need to sell it as an NFT /s

~~shortened it down to 3 minutes to match an average gen z'er's attention span~~

Unrelated String

lmao

good call

looking at the final color counts and some have actually changed ranks since the last time i looked

orange moved above beige and dark red moved above pure blue

Unrelated String

7:54 PM

@allxy initially i thought it might be a bit on the questionable side but compared to the more normal pink it has the edge of also serving as a very light red

allxy

I guess, yeah

Unrelated String

making it serviceable for shading red stuff while still passing for pink in isolation

allxy

BowlingPizzaBall

amazing

but you already posted this and it's starred

allxy

This is slightly more recent

I'ma go write down everything it says

BowlingPizzaBall

7:57 PM

oh boy

des54321

I love that I dont think that one ever actually said CODE GOLF because it got changed before it was finished

Unrelated String

i think it's more because there was a separate CODE GOLF box being set up elsewhere

funny nevertheless

i know i started this one but can't remember what i actually intended the starting text to be lmao

it probably was COD GOD

since that was a recurring theme on the original incarnation

allxy

I'm about halfway thtorugh

@RadvylfPrograms You might want to turn on serverless mode in front/config.js?

just realized it's interesting that only one color-color is more popular than light gray, and it's one that's both been used as a background for a large part of the canvas and on a pride flag
