11:00 AM
The invasion is coming back...
It's going again! Well done.
 
Hmm
 
We're only on the offensive because they got too close.
 
We can use ourselves as each thread of the parallelization, right?
Oh no! The pxls.space dev has golfed the source to protect it from attacks!
 
@SIGSEGV Yes.
 
Okay then ;)
 
11:09 AM
Got to go, hold the fort whilst I'm away.
 
@SIGSEGV Uh no
view-source:pxls.space/app.js
Ow
502 again
 
@TuxCopter That means they're changing the code.
 
Let's just hope it's not an API change
 
We have to make sure the left-side attackers don't overwrite the logo.
@TuxCopter It's probably just JavaScript... probably.
 
The dev of pxls.space has made a poll for the url of next version
 
11:16 AM
We want place.io
 
11:35 AM
The bot work
 
@TuxCopter you are running A B0T?
 
Yup
 
Nope
Browser-side
 
@TuxCopter where's the fun in that?
 
11:41 AM
I just wanted to see if it's possible
 
pxls is down again
 
Their servers are on fire with all the traffic
 
@TuxCopter is it working?
 
Kinda
// Pixels in format [x, y, color]
var map = [
    [17, 28, 4],
    [18, 28, 4],
    [19, 28, 4],

            if (i === x[0] + x[1] * window.App.height && c !== x[2]) {
                console.log("Placing " + x[0] + ", " + x[1] + ": " + x[2]);
                window.App.socket.send(JSON.stringify({
 
what is the ppcg favicon color?
or do you just need its index?
 
11:52 AM
12
 
so it's the index
 
It's the index of the color in the order it appears on the screen
 
Java!
 
When I star it it says You can't perform that action at this time.
 
@TuxCopter you're banned from starring
that's teh reason
 
11:59 AM
wat but why
 
stop starring and continue making ppcg logo
 
did we go on the offensive before?
 
But stars are shiny and beautiful
I found this
 
Hello, thanks for the invitation
 
THere's not cooldown but there's a captcha when placing a pixel :/
 
12:04 PM
I see they finished the Boba Fett
Are we working on anything together atm?
Hey look, there's a big pointy blue thing that looks vaguely like our logo
 
@TuxCopter 12 is light blue or dark blue?
 
Between the two
 
12:21 PM
I'm trying to see if I can get around the wait limit... it seems like the developers left in a backdoor where if you enter "cooldown X" on STDIN, it'll set the cooldown to X seconds, but I can't figure how to do that
Here and the next lines are what I'm looking at
 
well you don't have access to the stdin of the server
 
yeah, that's what I figured :/
> Site going down for a bit to fix the bottom
 
1:12 PM
Hello
This seems like an interesting web project
I'm not really sure what it's supposed to be though
Somewhere you can create pixelart with others over the internet in gaint pixel rooms?
 
@TuxCopter I'm surprised that this one has a complete Otus (from Owlboy, top left, a bit below the bunch of flags there). There was a post on /r/owlboy to get just his head into r/place but the activity on that subreddit is too low to really get anything going. I guess that one could have been done by one person without the time limit, but the repeated CAPTCHA sure is annoying.
 
At least filling a recaptcha only take ~5 seconds
 
1:44 PM
I think the left attacker has backed off.
Also:
> What this would prevent is people leaving their computers on 24/7, preventing new art from being created over old. Humans know when to give up, bots do not.
This is why people don't like botting on community projects.
 
@wizzwizz4 What's that from?
 
I think bots are cool, but side towards ^^^^.
Huh. The section to the left of the logo has become untouchable?!
Does anyone know why it keeps adding ~40 extra seconds?
 
@wizzwizz4 Raspberry Pis know when to give up so lets use those :P
 
@SIGSEGV Do they?
 
@wizzwizz4 idk But they most likely will because of the lack of power :\
 
1:58 PM
Mine ran a download for so long that the "bytes downloaded" counter became negative and it chewed up a chunk of the file system.
 
o_O really?
 
@SIGSEGV Yup. At 3am I woke up, so turned on the television to have a look. I quickly aborted it and shut down the pi. It didn't turn back on properly.
It turned on, but... -.(o.o).-
fsck got cross and seemingly hung.
 
o_O The size was over 2^32-1 bytes/kilobytes/something?
 
:36486544 I think so.
 
Oh dammit android again
 
2:03 PM
I don't know why that double-posted.
 
@wizzwizz4 mobile chat bugs
 
@SIGSEGV Mobile is stable most of the time, but sometimes it's not.
It's no good for moderation.
I think that's for security; if somebody steals your phone you don't want them deleting the site.
 
For that reason I don't take my phone outside at all :P
and I'm chatting now with my tablet
 
pxls.space is down for you guys too, right?
 
@SIGSEGV You can enable desktop mode if you want.
 
2:08 PM
nvmd
 
@ETHproductions Just.
It's improved; now it automatically 502s instead of requiring a refresh! :-p
 
Why does it always come back on right when I ask >.<
 
Oh no the canvas is somehow becoming NSFW
well actually when you let everyone paint on something, at least one guy paints it nsfw
 
did you not see what the r/place canvas initially looked like? :P
 
At least it was better than the text The MIGHTY Cocks with a literally colossal C
 
2:15 PM
Also, why does the timer not update when the tab isn't focused?
It did before IIRC
 
2:45 PM
I think I'm the only one still working on our logo
 
2:56 PM
I'll join you if I can find it...
@ETHproductions: ^
 
I figured I'd try doing a little hexagonal lattice and see how far it can get before I run out of space and patience. I just finished the first hexagon a little south-west of the PPCG logo (near 640, 240). feel free to help if anyone's bored.
(I'll probably start the next one going southwest or southeast, so that I don't collide that big ball that is being built there, whatever it is)
 
Found the logo
For future reference: the top-left is at (665, 148)
 
Yeah, I just placed a pixel at the top
 
I'm so glad they fixed the hourly resets
 
3:06 PM
what do you mean?
 
Yesterday the canvas would completely reset itself every hour or so. The devs had no clue why at first
Last night I was working on the Boba Fett helmet when it reset again, but a couple minutes later it was back, and it's been there ever since
 
3:52 PM
My friend told me that the word to the left of the PPCG logo is a bad word, so I'm going to remove it
 
Oh, sorry
But mine has more stars ;P
 
@KritixiLithos I've been working on that.
But the QR-code maker has obliterated most of it.
Server going down in a few minutes to switch to a new server
 
more like a few seconds ;)
 
The word is no longer recognisable
 
Yay! :-)
I turned one of the ms into two eyes looking towards the PPCG logo.
Now the Y is becoming a chess board.
 
4:06 PM
It's giving me a 502

Server going down in a few minutes to switch to a new server
 
Oh, I thought you were describing it live
 
@ETHproductions I am... >:-s
/_\
 
But... it was giving me a 502 several minutes before you posted :P
Now it's back though
 
Same happened to me
only 5 more pixels and we're done with the edges :-)
 
4:16 PM
I'm working on the C atm. It's weird though, because you can't directly fill in the letters, you have to outline them
 
Once we finish the logo, we should have a url nearby
 
r/ppcg might suffice
 
we have a reddit page?
 
As of 90 minutes ago, yes
 
There, the edges have been connected
 
4:27 PM
Nice work!
 
I guess I'll fill it in, starting from the left
 
It's cleared?! NOOOOOOOO!
Oh, wait... nvr mind.
 
Is the timer supposed to freeze when the tab is inactive?
 
idk, it didn't originally
It resets if you refresh though
 
For Chrome: You can trick it by keeping it as an active tab, and then use other programs. Make sure you don't maximise those programs though, since that will also freeze the timer.
 
4:42 PM
I just refresh whenever I go back to the tab :P
 
Refreshing doesn't work for me...
 
Thanks, refreshing does work for me.
It doesn't automatically reset the timer but if the timer should be up it seems to work.
 
I'm back! Glad to see y'all were working on it while I was asleep
It looks good!
 
5:00 PM
:-)
 
There's some really cool stuff on there
 
I'm starting with outlining the P
 
I'll keep going on the C
 
I'm just filling "random" pixels at the top
 
It'd be interesting if whenever an outline was created from one single color, the outline got filled in with that color
 
5:05 PM
I'm just starting on the P
 
@ETHproductions it seems like some goup would agressively get the boarder
 
That would certainly speed things up
 
@MistahFiggins That would be way too easy to sabotage
 
It'd be like splix.io, but without the prospect of killing each other
 
@DJMcMayhem but the consequences...
 
5:06 PM
Would be glorious!
 
@ETHproductions I was just thinking about splix.io :P
 
and what about colors in colors? what If you have our boarder, and someone sabotages it
 
border
 
then when we fill it back in, it turns everything inside into a space
 
board-er
 
5:07 PM
Alrightio, I prolly gtg
 
Bye
 
Come back soon!
 
Probably not. Real life tends to get in the way of internet time
in The Nineteenth Byte, Jul 8 '16 at 21:18, by Dr Green Eggs and Iron Man
I tried going outside once. The graphics were incredible, but the story line was horrendous.
 
after creating and golfing a >700 byte sed program, my ability to comprehend human speech just dropped
 
Hehe
 
5:12 PM
After using Jelly, y'l nvr typ th sm agn
 
learning and using Dyalog APL hasn't done anything like that to me
 
Learning Assembly will also be a confusing experience
At least, it was to me
 
Oh wait, that's Japt. Jelly will force you to type in nearly all Unicode chars
 
      I l i
      k e t
      o t h
i n k C u b i x h a s n
' t d o n e m u c h t o
m y w r i t i n g . . .
      . . .
      . . .
      . . .
On a side note, that is a valid cubix program that prints the input, and then ends up in an infinite loop
 
Huh, you're right
I think i, u, o, 'o, u, i are the only things that really get executed, right?
 
5:26 PM
Three n's and a and c
 
Oh, haha, the two ns cancel each other out. I got worried there for a sec
 
inunot'otcuasn are the commands
The stack gets polluted with a lot of zeroes, but it works
 
That'd be an interesting submission to a cat pop-con
 
It would indeed. Sadly, recent pop-cons have all(?) been closed
 
Who's alienpirate? (on reddit)
 
5:29 PM
I haven't the slightest, ask in TNB
 
I just noticed that there's one undefined value in the stack that loops around the stack. It's quite funny to watch
 
?
the heck does undefined get on the stack?
 
The C's getting close to done :D
 
The c function
Oh noes
I just realised I made a mistake on the P
Or did I... no I didn't.
nvm
 
zoomed out, the ppcg logo looks like a smiley face
 
5:33 PM
 
Oh no, it's the t
What is the t even supposed to do?! WHY DON'T I UNDERSTAND MY OWN LANGUAGE?!?
 
t brings the nth element to the top
 
Oh.... that explains it
 
Yep
 
I'll fix that ASAP
 
5:35 PM
I still have a partially finished interpreter on my hard drive. I should finish that some time.
 
@ETHproductions haha
 
Alright, should be fixed whenever gh-pages feels like reloading
 
@ETHproductions Apparently, there is no cat pop-con challenge. I'll post one in the sandbox.
 
I'm concerned by the people trying to write out the Darth Plagueis thing right above us
 
They haven't made too much progress though
 
5:45 PM
@BasicSunset I did not see that coming
 
It's going about as fast as ours
 
they would evertually run into pepe, and they can't have that
 
Oh shoot, what have I done with those two pixels in the G
Please turn them back to white :P
 
What two pixels?
 
The umbreon way over on the left side looks really awesome
 
5:49 PM
wow, that's cool
 
(690, 160)?
 
@Luke 689,158 and 689,164
They should be at 690,158 and 690,164
 
I see the problem, I'll fix one
 
Fixed the other one
 
Let's try that again
 
5:51 PM
Meanwhile, I'll write up a pop-con proposal
:-( the site's down
 
What's the adverb of popularity?
 
"popularly" is a start, I don't think that's correct though
Never mind, I think that's exactly right
 
It sounds weird
 
5:55 PM
What's the sentence?
@KritixiLithos I don't understand your "who am I" comment
(specifically "and gUl on ^.")
 
I'm trying to come up with a title for the cat pop-con
Popularly print input is kinda nice, because of alliteration
 
I feel like there's a pun waiting to be made of some cat meme
 
@ETHproductions In vim, gUl capitalises the character under the cursor
 
3 more pixels to finish the C
 
@KritixiLithos ah, got it
 
6:05 PM
8 pixels to finish the P
 
to introduce a code-golfing element, I changed the capitalisation to a vim "submission"
 
49 pixels to finish the G :P
I use :P too much :P
 
Maybe a bit :P
 
we can change to logo to read ":PCG" instead :P
I make bad puns
 
That'd only need 4 pixels extra...
Hey, a grid has been added. That's nice.
@ETHproductions: mind giving some suggestions on how to improve this question: codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/11991/63774?
 
6:22 PM
@Luke It's not very specific (that's why many popcons get closed quickly). What should upvoters look for in an answer?
 
I don't know what the critics look for in a pop-con, so I'm not sure what would make it better
Oh hey, they got the timer pause bug fixed
 
Nice, just the G left. And the background
 
6:42 PM
pxls.space is improving by the hour
The software itself, not just the art
 
How so?
 
The H and G commands
 
Those have been there for nearly half an hour...
 
And that little popup in the top-right is nice, I wouldn't have known about those commands otherwise
And they fixed the timer-pause bug sometime in the last hour or so
I've been busy so I don't know when this stuff was added
 
Understandable
I should have been busy, so I know when this stuff was added
 
6:45 PM
haha, I can relate
 
6:56 PM
I remember I had to do three things. I did one of them, but I forgot what the other two are...
 
Was one of them "wish Mom a happy birthday"?
 
Nope
That is in 5 months
It was something I had to do for school
I should really write things down...
 
Now just 20 pixels to go on the G!
 
you should totally make use of the increased resolution and round off corners and diagonals a bit
 
7:12 PM
and use the light blue to do a bit of aliasing
 
overachiever
 
;-)
For some reason I just want to perfectly recreate the logo at 2x scale first, then maybe do some adjustments
 
agreed
9 more minutes until I finish the second hexagon...
 
Is the "selected tile" marker off to the left for anyone else?
 
can't test right now
 
7:16 PM
I had that bug, refreshing a few times fixed it
 
I swear I noticed some hexagons somewhere a while ago, where are you building?
Oh, found it
 
not too far away ;)
 
That Seahawks helmet not too far to your right is very good for such a small size
 
yay 2 hexagons done. probably gonna go towards the helmet next then
 
7:23 PM
Did someone help you there? That was a little fast
 
I added 1 pixel
 
ah, thanks
I noticed someone did
 
The amount of lone pixels is astonishing
6 pixels to go on the G!
 
5
 
The amount of male reproductive organs on pxls is astonishing ._.
 
7:33 PM
Welcome to the Internet.
 
4
3
 
O.o I just noticed the top right corner being dedicated to Mario
 
letters!
 
2
 
7:35 PM
Oh there's already 12 subs on the ppcg subreddit
 
1
0
 
Done
 
@TuxCopter and it's all top quality
 
Now the background ;_;
 
Now the real work starts...
 
7:37 PM
We're going to need manpower
A lot of
 
Only the top (above the letters) is going to take 140*3 minutes
 
How many of us are working on the logo?
 
I am
 
I think we are 5
 
7:39 PM
Me too
 
If we all instantly place a pixel as soon as we can, the top half will take only 84 more minutes...
 
me
@Luke geez
 
I'll be gone in like 50 minutes
 
Which is 1h24m
For the top half
Let's just hope random strangers will help doing the logo like on r/place
 
And hope we don't get too many vandals
 
7:43 PM
Oh look the void got took over by a green blob
 
I have no idea what that's supposed to be
It reminds me of a neuron though
 
It's just the void (or in this case the green) being the void
Branching everywhere like a growing cancer
Woah France is invading the left side of the canvas
 
oha, a red pixel next to my hexagons
 
osu! is back... :/
 
Still better than the void
 
7:49 PM
are there pog people?
I would do those last
That way, if there are valdals, they go somewhere else (not our logo
 
And osu! don't take as much space as the sweden-denmark alliance of the old r/place
 
I gtg, cya later
 
Oh nice. If I use my phone too I can draw twice as much
 
.o/
 
I'll lend my pixels when I can
 
7:51 PM
@BasicSunset ?
 
You can do that?
 
I have it open on phone and computer
 
I can't really scroll up
 
Oh you're using your mobile data
 
I'm at work and I think the wifi and ethernet are different networks
I guess
It works, not gonna question it
