Depending on whats possible, we could do something similar to R/place and every so often expand the canvas start off with something small eg.512x512 and add another 512 px. along side

If I remember right, r/place “scaled up” by adding more blank canvas. But it might be more interesting to actually scale up the previous pixels as well, so each iteration is overlaying the previous one with higher detail.

The end result wouldn’t look as empty, because it would be easier to fill large areas early on.

Interesting idea. That would perhaps wreck a lot of pixel art, but I guess it'd be fine scaled up to 2x2 pixels as you often see it like that anyway.

If that happens, it should be a surprise - would really throw a spanner in the works and make it a unique event. The more I think about this idea, the more I like it!

Or to make it more realistic, let it expand like the universe. I.e. add extra space between each two pixels:

example

w=blank/white, b=non-blank
wwwww
wbbbw
wbbww
wwwww
->
wwwwwwwwww
wwwwwwwwww
wwbwbwbwww
wwwwwwwwww
wwbwbwwwww
wwwwwwwwww
wwwwwwwwww
wwwwwwwwww

Or keep non-blank pixels together, because of pixel bounds.

i like this alot would be really interesting to see.

I like this idea. It also allows filling the previous larger art with more detail. Maybe once 50% of the Virgin pixels are used, it scales up.

Bad idea , this will result in most active faction taking over space with every expansion

[–] ArieTheFloof@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

could decrease the amount of time between expansions?

Not sure that will help, maybe based on time zones (Do it when the Germans are asleep ) 🤫
