Ever-expanding animation of the life of the 796th floor of a space station
- quitit 4y agoPutting Waldo in there was a nice touch.

- iLoveOncall 4y agoThis "ever expanding" was misleading the first time it got posted and it still is today. Manually adding a tile once in a while doesn't make it ever expanding, or otherwise literally every website could be qualified of "ever expanding".
- spirit557 4y agoWhy do you read it so literally? It's the artist expressing their intention that the work is unfinished and being added to by others than the original artist themself "0x00 says, that it took 3 years to make the project look like it looks now. 1 year was spent on development and 2 years to create the first 8 bays. Now though, that everyone can add any bay and doesn't have to deal with programming, the author hopes that the project will continue growing exponentially."
- iLoveOncall 4y agoBecause I, and probably most, believe from the title that you can pan infinitely in any direction, but it's not the case at all. Remove "ever expanding" and it looks a lot of its appeal. I wouldn't click without it. It's clickbait.
- sevg 4y agoYou're getting downvoted because it seems "probably most" don't agree with you :-) Ever-expanding does not mean infinitely scrolling. This is a work of art. Most works of art tend to be published in a "finished" state, where it will no longer be edited or expanded. The creator has appropriately signified that its current state is not its final state, and it will continue to expand. Thus, it is a work of art that is "ever-expanding" :-)
- DonHopkins 4y agoYou should look up in the dictionary and wikipedia what the word "infinitely" means, and learn about math. It's a fascinating field of study. And stop making assumptions that most people are as mathematically illiterate and prone to throwing temper tantrums when your unrealistic expectations are not met as you are.
- yuvalkarmi 4y agoNow someone go do this with AI, and make it actually ever expanding
- a1371 4y agoI didn't at first figure out that clicking on each character shows the reference. It feels like exploring someone else's daydreams. Bravo
- rburkej 4y agoI happened to be browsing this morning, early with everyone asleep when I clicked on the duke nukem kill me girl. Scared the *&^# out of me when. My volume was way to loud...
- dark-star 4y agojust don't click on Chuck Norris ;-)
- withinboredom 4y agoOne does not click on Chuck Norris, Chuck Norris clicks on you. With his boot.
- geocar 4y agoOne of the arcade games is playable...
- zamadatix 4y agoThings I've found clicking so far: - Clicking the HEV charger near the start of the food conveyor belt (far left) plays the sounds from Half Life - Clicking the middle arcade machine to the north of the HEV charger lets you play that game - Further north in the shower area there is a camera in the shower gag if you click on the shower area - Slightly to the east just past the gym sign there is a bunny girl sign which plays a song when clicked - To the east past the avatar tree Chuck Norris has a click effect. - To the far east of the map there is a guy between Jabba and Kenny with a synthesizer who will play one of many tunes when you click That's all I found!
- Nition 4y agoReally cool. Reminds me of Goon Tower from many years ago, where the levels were made by various different members of the SomethingAwful forums: http://web.archive.org/web/20130416221448/http://www.goontower.com/ http://web.archive.org/web/20130416221448/http://www.goontow...
- 20after4 4y agoWe did a version of this in the deviantArt forums except it was longcat instead of a tower. Somewhere I have the composite image which was a LOT of pixels tall by about 128 pixels wide.

- MisterBastahrd 4y agoFirst thing I saw was Superman beating up Homelander and the rest of The Boys villains while Saitama and Mob Psycho look on and Indian Superman dances in an ad in the background. This just reminds me of how much of my mental real estate is used up on pop culture, really.
- rcoveson 4y agoI took a biology class that involved going over the organelles of the cell in 5th, 8th, and 12th grades as well as online for university (it seems to be treated like the most critical category of knowledge in all of biology). I think I still remember half of those dozen or so. But give me a notepad and an hour and I can still list all 151 original pokemon. There's a post on the front page right now (as there often is) about spaced repitition to improve memory. It's funny how hard we have to try to hold on to things when we're so well equipped for it naturally. The problem is we struggle to change which things are truly important to us, and it's how much we care about something that decides how long we'll hold onto it.
- Aromasin 4y agoReminds me of a game I used to play called Space Station 13. It's a completely unique game. Imagine a giant game of Among Us, but with the engine complexity of Dwarf Fortress. Most servers are high level roleplay, where each player has a role (doctor, janitor, captain, clown, etcetera) and the rounds play out until chaos ensues (theme changes each round, but it could anything from station terrorists to a wizard causing bedlam). This YouTuber really expresses it better than I ever could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJ_qSXruW0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJ_qSXruW0 Everyone has their goals to achieve each round, but it's general havoc. The OP animation really channels the feeling of playing the game.

- metadat 4y agoBoth videos are good in different ways, though your link is just a tad clearer ;) for a SS13 noob like me. Thank you!
- AaronM 4y agoSS13 has been remade, SS14 https://spacestation14.io/ https://spacestation14.io/ Its very playable today, and has a bunch of improvements to the original. Its also open source under an MIT License.
- tehbeard 4y agoSS13 remakes are like "nuclear fusion" and "year of the Linux desktop"... always announced, never delivered. Does this one actually have traction?

- illiarian 4y agoClick "about" :) It is by a Russian guy with a link to how he makes it, in Russian
- bulbosaur123 4y agoNice, my intuition was correct :)
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- madaxe_again 4y agoI mean, in this case, yes, but I am neither Russian nor a child of the USSR, and I know both Kvass and Kin-dza-dza (which I introduced to my wife, who was born in a post-soviet state). Not all that obscure!
- bulbosaur123 4y agoInteresting. You must be from a CIS (ex-USSR) country then.
- tomjakubowski 4y agoAnywhere there are immigrants from Eastern Europe in the US, you can find Kvass. It's everywhere! GP commenter may have had a friend from Belarus, or seen it on a store shelf and been curious
- madaxe_again 4y ago
- einpoklum 4y agoI liked the Fruit Jedi. More fun to watch than... at least 3 out of the 9 main Star Wars films if you ask me.
- MontyCarloHall 4y agoThis is beautiful, and a good example of art that generative AI will never be able to replicate.
- theelous3 4y agoah famous last words, in the flesh
- mikepurvis 4y agoWhat makes you say this? Even if not in totality, I could well imagine that an AI painter might be very well suited to being a copilot for this type of project. Think dall-e image extender + style transfer + pop culture knowledge of these characters + some human seeded descriptions of the scenes.

- starjs 4y agohttps://habr.com/ru/companies/floor796/articles/673318/ https://habr.com/ru/companies/floor796/articles/673318/ - The process of creating a project is described here. The material is called Rendering a large animation in the browser or how I left mp4 to my own video format
- efreak 4y agoEnglish link: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en&u=https://habr.com/ru/companies/floor796/articles/673318/&client=webapp https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en&u... Unfortunately, while this is very interesting, it's not how the site appears in my mobile browser. I'm seeing a series of standard MP4 files (the loading animation is also different, showing a series of vertical bars instead of a percentage), and while I have no problems with playback speed (everything seems properly timed), the videos themselves are positioned incorrectly--there's a line every 3rd or 4th video file where it slightly overlaps[0] This might be due to my choice of browser/settings (Mull), however, as it's probably preventing use of the canvas without input...

- prakhar897 4y agoThis is insane. What techniques are you using to animate it? A lot of people will pay for an AI which animates still 8-bit MJ generated pics.
- jprete 4y agoThis is years old. It’s definitely not being animated by AI.
- irrational 4y agoIs it years old? One place has a bunch of drawers and the drawers are labelled Dall-e, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion. That seems pretty recent to me.
- TheRealPomax 4y agoThat's what the "ever expanding" part refers to. It's an old project that's periodically being updated.
- ta1243 4y agoAt least 2 years old -- there's a Changes dropdown, with the oldest entry being a Half Life 1 tentacle form March 2021 (that changes menu doesn't show everything either)
- gabereiser 4y agoIt's all hand animated by a guy using the online editor of tiles. It's rather impressive as a hobby project.

- irrational 4y agoTIL that I'm way out of the loop on a lot of pop culture. I maybe understood 1 reference in 20. Turns out that I'm most familiar with 1980s pop culture (that of my teenage years).
- mock-possum 4y agoI’m kinda having the opposite experience - I don’t think of myself as someone who’s particularly well read on pop culture, but I’m actually recognizing most of this, even some real weird ones.
- rodolphoarruda 4y agoAn incredible use of one's free time.
- dwild 4y agoThey also build their own editor [1] and it's quite good. I'm quite jealous of theses talents. [1] https://floor796.com/editor/l0 https://floor796.com/editor/l0
- breck 4y agoI highly recommend playing with his editor (https://floor796.com/editor/l0 https://floor796.com/editor/l0). It's very intuitive and I was able to make my own little animation quite fast, even though I had never used any animation tools before. His write up of making it run on the web is also a good read: https://habr.com/ru/companies/floor796/articles/673318/ https://habr.com/ru/companies/floor796/articles/673318/

- standardUser 4y agoI just happened to check in on it today! Updates seem very frequent so I usually take a look every few weeks. As another comment mentions, this is the project of one Russian guy. Which is interesting because despite our presumably very different cultural upbringings, I feel like I "get" nearly all of his references. I wonder how common it is for Russians to have exposure to so much US/Western/Japanese media. Also - you can click on "Changes" in the top bar and there is a searchable list of every update.
- brucethemoose2 4y ago> I wonder how common it is for Russians to have exposure to so much US/Western/Japanese media. I feel like internet-savvy Russians have lots of exposure.
- hinkley 4y agoI think this was posted about three months ago. The number of rooms has increased by a third in that time? It's cool but it's not what I was expecting for ever-expanding. Like a lot of people, I didn't know about clicking, so at first I thought it was just a generative system and was expecting it to get bigger. Only around the time I started trying to figure out what the big deal was did I begin to focus on what the characters were doing and noticing the pop culture references.
- frankfrankfrank 4y agoInfection by American pop culture is a global scourge. I don’t even necessarily only say that because of the corrosive and low quality nature of Americas pop culture that is like a drug that feels really good at first, but causes damage over time (see false beliefs about reality people hold solely due to TV/movies). What is even more pernicious and pervasive is that Americas pop culture is like a cultural virus that is eradicating diversity of culture just like immigration and this fake general “diversity” is actually eradicating the thing it claims to itself be. Everyone, everywhere, at all times all consuming the same things and muddled into an indistinguishable mass is quite literally the opposite of diversity. American pop culture is really the nexus of that process, the killing, destruction, and eradication of local and native cultures. In many ways we don’t even have the language for what is happening, and considering the ongoing stupefaction of society, I suspect it will never be developed. It is a kind of mass extinction event of human culture and diversity, going on right now, under the fraudulent and false guise of “diversity”.

- claytongulick 4y agoI appreciate the author including a high quality source map. Looking through the source of this is really interesting. Very well written, looks like vanilla js, with less for css. The components are very easy to reason about and all just do direct DOM manipulation, I like it a lot. The only thing I might have done differently is that I think it would have simplified the code base a little to use Web Components custom elements (not shadow dom) as the unit of component encapsulation, but this is a nit - the author makes effective use of templates for instantiation of dom elements, so that could have been a bit more complex with WCs, as you'd have to wire it into the connectedCallback lifecycle event. I love everything else about this code base, the use of jsdoc for types instead of typescript, the organization. It's really a breath of fresh air - so refreshing to see an example of a quality code base that avoids frameworks, and almost any dependency. The only js dependency I see is on handlebars.
- ThorsBane 4y agoAmazing work.
- jawerty 4y agoSaw that this had 796 points and had a mini freak out
- mortenjorck 4y agoI don't know how long the author has had this project going, but part of the fun of exploring is how the pop-culture references give a clue as to the maximum age of any particular section. E.g., the shower stalls with the Squid Game characters can't be older than late 2021, while the "Stable Diffusion-powered" surgery robot that's giving the patient ten fingers on a hand must be from the past 6-9 months.
- czbond 4y agoWhat is the goal of this, do you think? Is it to begin selling rooms a la Million dollar homepage of the ... 1990's? http://milliondollarhomepage.com/ http://milliondollarhomepage.com/
- nyx 4y agoI don't know and don't want to speculate, but I do hope it's just a fun indie project with the goal of artistic expression, and that there's no parasitic "how-can-we-monetize-this" ulterior motive.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoProbably just to make something awesome.
- yummypaint 4y agoA word of caution: I opened this on my phone (firefox on android) and it caused it to immediately grind to a halt to the extent that it had to be force restarted.
