Im going to be trying to set up a tech corner similar to what Programming.Dev did last year with the dark theme zone. Any groups who want to join on around the area feel free to reach out and we can do stuff like merge templates

One to one: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=378&y=423&zoom=27&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F1b2ba85c-98c7-4f5c-bb5e-47840aa24f1f&tw=66&tx=320&ty=420&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

Cant fit all the communities so did mostly did ones I can make smaller. If theres more strength in terms of pixel placing that I know can contribute the area can be expanded but dont want to plan out more space than we can hold

Word on the street is no alts allowed this time. Last time we finished up our NZ stuff and tried to help you guys out, but without alts progress will be a lot slower!

Yep, no alts are allowed this year. Also, the Aussie flag is β…” the width of last time, so it should be a bit faster.

A lot less space and potentially a lot more participants! Will be interesting to see if you need to defend it! The brits might come in and steal it for themselves πŸ˜†

The Brits will definitly finish the union Jack for us :) . Hopefully they help with the rest of the flag. I doubt we will have to defend much, and I'm fine with small stuff on the flag like the fuck sped last year, as long as they aren't over the stars and are decently small.

It will be interesting to see what the participation level is like. There are a lot less people on Lemmy than last year, but with the whole Fediverse able to participate this year we might get a lot of people joining. With the smaller canvas, I hope we don't have to defend as it makes it less fun, but time will tell.

You'll want to make the background transparent for any pixels you don't actually want to make sure are white.

How does one create a shareable template? Do we upload a picture somewhere on the site? What format is required?

On the website click on Settings then put an image URL in the field (png preferably as it has transparency, but jpeg does work), then copy the URL of the website

it should add it to the end of the url

Thanks! Seems pretty nifty. Cool how any embeddable image can be overlaid at an arbitrary location on the canvas, rescaled to any size, and shared with a link. Well done!

Is there any way to load multiple templates at once to see if/how they overlap?

there is not unfortunately, only one template can be loaded at once

That's very honorable pursuit. I'm myself stuck defending our flag, but I wish you best of luck!

Edit: We now have a proper template here

Here is the template on the canvas.

Thanks! Looks like a good start! I notice that there are some dark red pixels at the edges of some regions. I suspect this is because the original source image has black gridlines overlaid. Also, some of the colours don't match the available colour palette exactly. Would you consider tweaking the template?

[email protected] hey man, could you please move your art a bit ? You are currently drawing inside of the logo:/

E: never mind, I didn't notice you were already drawing something on top of the mastodon logo, sorry about that!

I'm trying to paint the TF2 logo: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=-50&y=-203&zoom=9&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F4%2F48%2FTeam_Fortress_2_style_logo.svg%2F1024px-Team_Fortress_2_style_logo.svg.png&tw=25&tx=151&ty=43&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

Maybe someone else would like to help with that. I'm kinda struggling with picking the right colors, shouldn't there be a way to automatically pick the right color for the template?

Edit: It's done, now it only needs to be defended in case of vandalism :)

TF2 currently under attack by the aussies. I'm going to bed right now, so I can't defend it.
