I wonder if making the colours partially transparent could work as an interesting / fun twist?

That's what I was expecting when I read that you could "stack 6 pixels", before seeing the User Interface. Thought we were going to have a really awesome way to make gradients between shades.
Easier login functionality. I never got in for some reason, after inputting the code I received to get in. Tried multiple browsers including firefox and chrome
Don’t end till there are no more virgin pixels.
What about designs that contain white?
You paint them white properly so they no longer show up as as virgin pixels.
I don't think this was possible this time, but someone suggested this possibility upthread.
Maybe all of Lemmy could play a game like chess, pokemon, etc. Like twitch plays videos.
Smaller canvas, to make it feel less empty and encourage more communication across communities (or competition! >:] )
I thought it was too big at first, but it meant everyone had a lot of space so turned out about right I think
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.
Canvas size, active participants, and total running time are all factors.
I liked the fact that there was enough room for everyone to get their initial designs down—once that’s out of their systems they can look around and have more spontaneous interaction. Maybe a bit more time would have allowed for more of that.

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.
