Hexagon pixels. (Or weirdly shaped areas to be filled). It would force more creativity and get rid of all designs from previous rounds.
Weirdly shaped canvas yes, weirdly shaped pixels no, in my opinion. Not until I have a computer with hexagon pixels.
Doing a theme each year with an appropriately shaped canvas would make each year feel distinct
Maybe all of Lemmy could play a game like chess, pokemon, etc. Like twitch plays videos.
Offical user stats after it is done. Maybe a map to see all your placed pixels? Something like that.
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
Maybe some other game at a different time of year. Perhaps some arcade games or something.
Then again, this thread is old
i should probably create a new thread, but i was thinking about doing that (the other games idea)
if you have ideas for any you can dm them to me via matrix or discord (

I’d like the option to place white pixels on virgin white pixels as a form of grief protection.
Better mobile support for templates, like buttons to toggle visibility
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.
Don’t end till there are no more virgin pixels.
Smaller canvas, to make it feel less empty and encourage more communication across communities (or competition! >:] )

To some extent, some people also painted more when they saw there was more space. I know I did. If the Canvas had filled up, I’d either have stopped or gotten involved in turf battles if they came up.
Run an extra day or two, so everyone gets some weekend and week day? Between shift workers and countries with different weekends, Sat/Sun is still a workday for many.
Thursday-Monday feels good, perhaps with one of the modifications discussed here halfway through.
I think one issue is that it’s no fun to defend your patch for too long. Any future even is likely to have twice as many participants, and anything drawn on the Thursday is likely gone by the Monday without a team to defend it.
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.
