Making a Canadian Flag on Lemmy's r/Place

https://canvas.toast.ooo/#x=119&y=700&scale=18.21&template=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fd%2Fd9%2FFlag_of_Canada_(Pantone).svg%2F1920px-Flag_of_Canada_(Pantone).svg.png&ox=69&oy=670&tw=100&title=&convert=nearestCustom

Maybe here we can draw the leaf without corrupting it. For reference I scaled the wikipedia picture to 100 pixels wide and anchored the 8 corners of the side borders. Hopefully we can make it look good!

Alrighty, the leaf is looking good, now nobody freaking touch it.

Would it be possible for a mod to make this a featured post for the duration of the event? @otter@lemmy.ca @Kokomheart@lemmy.ca

Sure yes :)

Looks like I don't get notifications for tags on my mobile app, didn't see it till now

grte@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y

I suspect it's because I edited in the tags after the comment had already been made.

Dope

FYI: I'm starting with the outline of the left half of the leaf. I have to go to work soon, but hopefully there'll be enough outline for the rest to be filled in (just mirror it one pixel over).

Is there a "faction" created yet

dom@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I created one. Search for /c/Canada and you'll find it

lambdabeta@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

What are factions, and where do you search them? I don't see anything in the UI?

EDIT: found them under a link under info. Thanks for setting the faction up!

dom@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y

I dont know what they do outside of identify you as being in one when people look at your pixels

Pxtl@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 3y (4 replies)

It took me way too long to figure out how to reduce the opacity of the template so I could start. Then I found out I only had 2 pixels?

grte@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 3y (3 replies)

The V key will toggle the overlay completely. Each person gets to place 1 pixel per minute.

Pxtl@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

The opacity slider seems more useful since you can see the leaf.

Pxtl@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Also, 1 pixel per minute, max 6 inventory seems cruel. I mean, I get the low pixels per minute, but it means drawing every 5 minutes for optimal output.

dom@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 3y

It isn't linear. It takes 40 minutes uses to get all 6 pixels.

It's better to place one every minute while you can and then you'll have a nice supply when you come back from a break

First time participating in this. Seems interesting, let's get this flag done!

grte@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

The leaf outline is finished. It's really starting to come together.

Finished off the stem :)

So should we use the pink to anti-alias sub-half-pixels at all or no?

dom@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Once the leaf is more painted, give it a try and zoom out.

I dont think it'll look like AA as much as a pink outline

lambdabeta@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Yeah, when I was picking a scale I intentionally looked for one with minimal AA cause I was worried about that. The 180-wide version was full of it, as was the 99.

dom@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

You picked a good scale imo

lambdabeta@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Except for one issue: it's an even width, so now we have the inevitable attempt to make it off-centered but pointy leading to a leafageddon. Oh well, can't have everything.

I'm not convinced that the one dude isn't just a troll
