Love the idea. I wonder how long before someone games the system.
Ecco
Not long.

I guess I should stop it from working, but it creates a nice pattern when multiple people do this.

Got an error:

Same here. But the history still says I added a point.

I was stupid enough not to check if the colors were actual colors before generating the image. Fixed now :)

Do you try to test something with this?
aeliassen
I'm just really curious about how it'll turn out.

Someone's trying to draw a picture, but they're not accounting for other people inserting pixels, so it's ending up shifted.

I'm a bit of a pixel bender, so chucking a Johnny Cash up there knowing others will skew it :-)

tiles.ice.org was good, now they have a new site, but it's not quite there yet, the forums are filled with spam. It was a collaborative art project, where either you were given a tile to draw of a larger piece. Either you were shown only the edges of the adjacent tiles, or you were only shown the adjacent tiles, but you had to fill in the blanks. It was fun to participate.

When I went there, a number of the "latest" pixels were attempted SQL injections. I'm not sure what table they were expecting to drop, but I found it highly amusing.
