PixelPals – Collaborative pixel art canvas

Ok that was fun.

   var socket = new Firebase("https://pixelpals-server.firebaseio.com/public");
   var w = 150;
   var h = 120;
   var randColor = function(){
   	return '#'+Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16);
   };
   for(var i = 0 ; i < h; i++){
   	for(var j = 0 ; j < w ; j++){
   		socket.child(i*w + j).set(i%2 ? randColor() : '#000');		
   	}
   }

.. sorry

The demo page is quite anarchic but it's a fun concept. Given a goal there would probably be more incentive for random users to work together on something.

A metaphor of the tragedy of the commons. Try to draw something and it's quite quickly overwritten by some wild person just spinning the cursor.

Awesome! I already have a couple of ideas on how to use this as a teambuilding tool. Thanks for open-sourcing it!

Right now it says "Penis Bro," "Shitcock," and also has a picture of a penis.

I'm shocked!

Interesting, Chromium's network inspector does not show me how this transmits.
