Made a collaborative, persistent state Mondrian-style painting editor. Feedback welcome!
- remram 1y agoRemoving lines doesn't seem to work, it flashes out but then stays in.
- ponsfrilus 1y agoHave to click on black lines. They can be moved too.
- remram 1y agoI did, it flashes out, then it comes back in.
- pimlottc 1y agoMisread this as MMOndain [0] and thought it was going to have to do with the Ultima games 0: https://wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/Mondain https://wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/Mondain
- parpfish 1y agoI thought I was going to learn about the category of endofunctors
- brulard 1y agoMy edits disappear either right away, or I can recolor for 20 seconds and then it gets reloaded with the previous colors.
- neural_thing 1y agoI think I'm having stability issues with lots of users, will try to figure it out, sorry
- mmazing 1y agoIt looks like you need to batch your updates and not tie them directly to UI actions, imo! Cool project!
- ASalazarMX 1y agoOMG I thought I was fighting with someone really fast.
- riidom 1y agoI thought so too! Maybe it was true
- brulard 1y agoNo need to apologize, just wanted to let you know there is an issue.
- dunham 1y agoI can't seem to pan, it would be nice if the zooming would zoom in to the mouse location. (I did manage to write HI near the left edge though.)
- manbitesdog 1y agoLove the idea, silly as it is! What came before, the app idea or the pun?
- neural_thing 1y agoPun
- detourdog 1y agoDoes this use the DeStijl manifesto. There were actual rules about how to use color and lines.
- thunkingdeep 1y agoDoesn’t seem to work, just unclicks whatever I click.
- brookst 1y agoSame. I thought I was in a battle of wills, and I guess I was, just not the way I thought.
- Heliodex 1y agoAwesome! I haven't had this much fun since r/Place. The ultimate territorial acquisition strategy seems to be as follows: - Pick a desired colour - Choose a place to found your empire, ideally somewhere with a lot of large rectangles and a colour that takes few clicks to turn to yours - Left click tiles to capture them for your colour - Right click those same tiles many times to subdivide them into areas much smaller. What took you 1 click to capture will now take anyone else hundreds!
- dmwood 1y agoI like this very much. BUT: What I cannot save I do not remember (quoth the Old Guy). Any way to save these images as SVG. (Screen grabs are less satisfactory.)
- neural_thing 1y agoI have a script that generates images every hour, will adapt it to let people save states!
- graypegg 1y ago{"message":"Too many connections. Please try again later."} coming from the socket.io websocket. Good luck with the hug of death, and sorry for my spam clicking!
- neural_thing 1y agopeople wrote scripts to color everything one color, had to implement some limits, but I think should be good now
- graypegg 1y agoSadly that is unequivocally a very fun thing to do, and honestly I was considering trying it before I came and checked the HN thread haha
- leoff 1y agosorry about that and the merges! I'm stopping now :) that was a fun way to spend the past hours
- neural_thing 1y agoNo worries lol. Learning experience for me :)
- graypegg 1y agoWas it you that was trying to get the German flag on there? If so, wow great job! Got a few screenshots! https://f.toi.sh/21juin-mmondrian.png https://f.toi.sh/21juin-mmondrian.png
- leoff 1y agomerging squares was the most satisfying part for me, but there is a bug sometimes when merging, the server refuses to do it even though it's valid
- neural_thing 1y agoyeah - merging has been tricky to nail down, definitely the thing that's gone through the most iterations so far
- leoff 1y agoI would love to know more about it! you should make a blog post
- neural_thing 1y agoit's been a learning experience for sure, but my blog is really not a good place for a technical story like this. i'll think about where i might be able to post it
- sublinear 1y agoBy the time I arrived to this it was so subdivided it no longer looked like a Mondrian and someone had managed to write "ASS" in the lower left corner by changing the colors of adjacent rectangles.
- neural_thing 1y agooh it's gone through a lot of iterations - I have seen Among Us characters, people clearing out the canvas down to 8 rectangles, entire thing going one color, had to delete a few obscenities, etc
- ggrelet 1y agoIs the website dead?
- neural_thing 1y agoFixed now
- gschizas 1y agoThis doesn't seem to work at all for me, but I don't see any error messages in the console or anything... I just see a dark gray screen with an (i) on the top left (with the instructions), but nothing seems to have any effect (left or right clicking, using the scroll wheel or dragging the mouse with left or right click) don't seem to have any effect. The only effect I'm seeing is right clicking on the page shows a "[CLIENT TRIGGER] Right-click at (123.456, 789.012)" message in the console log. I can see that there's some traffic (for example, I see some WSS on socket.io, and some XHR for /state, /clients, /checksum) but it doesn't seem to change anything on the screen.
- neural_thing 1y agolooks like people somehow deleted everything, reset it to starting position
