Did the server go down ?
I'm still confused if I should wait to have 6 mixels and place them in batches, or place whenever a new pixel is available, my gut feeling tells me one every 30 seconds is more efficient?
It doesn't matter whether you place 1 pixel every 30 seconds or 6 every 3 minutes. One thing to keep in mind tho is that the 30 second timer seems to reset every time you place a pixel. For example, if you're at 0 pixels, gain 1, wait 15 seconds, and then place it, you'll still have to wait another 30 seconds for the next pixel. Meaning you basically lost 15 seconds. So I think the most efficient strategy is to place all 6 pixels as soon as you gain the 6th one.
Oh okay makes sense, thank you!
It is either do the canvas or sit on the beach, winter camping with the kids, eating fresh mussels in butter and garlic
Sorry @grant@toast.ooo
Edit: sunset. Yes that is an active volcano in the middle
Honestly that looks great 🏝️
Enjoy your vacation!
Attention everyone, make sure to set the coordinates of the template image to 0,0 when using Cotemplate. Multiple people already started drawing with offset because of this.
Everyone is welcome in the Synthwave X Chiptune team to collaborate on the LukHash Home Arcade template !

Seeing cursors is instantly gross. Is mine transmitted by default? Is there an option to not do that? Is it distinct from seeing other people's?
you can turn off the cursors in the settings panel
plus when you turn off the cursors, it'll stop sharing yours ✨
In addition to what grant said. Cursors dont show and arent sent when logged out or when on mobile and are anonymous so people can't tell whos cursor is who. Just a fun thing to add some activity to the canvas and make it feel more like a community instead of you placing pixels into a void
Cursors dont show and arent sent when logged out
Er, on that note, where is the logout option?
Woo!
