@eieio@mastodon.gamedev.place what do the colored checkboxes do? @eieio@mastodon.gamedev.place The fact that this site works perfectly with CSS disabled is really really appreciated! @eieio I was writing a script to check them all, reloaded to make sure I had up to date state, and now I get socket errors. Presumably you have lots of connections...or a very sophisticated anti-cheating filter. :) @melontini @eieio Awesome! (but script kiddo could replace the callback of setTimeout with an arrow function and even remove the curly braces) @Andres4NY @Sobex @eieio it's fun to take things that are accidentally almost words and make the into words @Andres4NY @Sobex @eieio this one was like... not this and I don't think anyone was trying for this but it was so close I could get it built before people broke it @claushoumann , sometime in some places the work in infosec is like… 👆🙂😀😐😕🙁😞 # a threat_box vector checkers @benjamin_segfaulted_again @rochelle Hi, sorry to be late to this, this....blew up more than i expected. I colored some boxes randomly because I thought it'd be interesting to see whether people checked them more. It's totally arbitrary. People do seem to check them more. So Benjamin is right :) @parsingphase @eieio @b0rk for Ubuntu Touch we have even a Game for that ;) https://open-store.io/app/pop-that-wrap.mivoligo @eieio is the status of checkboxes persisted on the blockchain? That would be a great use of the technology! @Hunterrules0_o *sigh* yes, FCKing NZS is a process, not a state. On the plus side, it seems to be some script that is checking boxes – not a person actively vandalizing it. @eieio the first section of checkboxes that fits in a phone screen is the most active, the frontlines one would say Alas! People have hours-ago discovered that one can put 420420 and 696969 into the jump box. (-: I went to 600000, as Veritasium has taught us that that is the sort of pick-a-number choice that few others will make. @eieio This is so wonderful and I now need to delete it from my memory so I don't waste any further time. @eieio I made a half-assed TARDIS but it's fun because someone else was hitting the boxes too so every now and then boxes would check and uncheck in bulk. @eieio interesting design choice to let people recheck existing cleared boxes, I look forward to seeing what happens to this.... @eieio@mastodon.gamedev.place HELP IM ADDICTED IVE ALREADY CHECKED ALMOST 2000 BOXES @eieio That didn't take long :blobfoxlaughsweat: For the record, I added the LOL and arrow Love it, thanks for sharing. For curious minds, some related prior art, and the cultural elements that appeared, collaborated, and battled: @eieio niiiice. Kinda reminds me of @aral 's draw together thingy @eieio @IAmDannyBoling Interesting game. I created the word HELLO. Twice someone tried to remove it but at the moment it is still there. I wrote "Danny was here" but before I could even finish, people were undoing my work lol. But it was still fun knowing that others could see what I was doing in realtime. @eieio Doesn't seem to work on Firefox for Android. It says 0 boxes are checked, and they are all, indeed, unchecked. @eieio@mastodon.gamedev.place can this be used to tunnel arbitrary data between two internet-connected computers? sounds like it'd be a fun challenge to be able to multiplex this in any way at all, as well as being able to handle data redundancy since anyone can toggle the checkboxes during transmission @eieio How quickly does our activity sync with the server? I notice that when I check an empty box it is often instantly cleared. Unchecking a box, or undoing the efforts of another is a different thought process from checking a box that was empty. So in this case, I am wondering if the person who cleared my checkbox meant to undo my work or if they were themselves attempting to fill an empty box and the timing between us caused them to clear "my" check instead. And vice versa. @eieio Reminds me of the "One million pixels" website from a while ago. Each pixel was sold for one dollar. :) @eieio I have discovered the secret of the colour boxes and I am ready to pounce *maniacal cackle* This is very whimsical. I love it. @eieio its cute!!!!! unfortunately, i give it 1 week before its swamped with swastikas :/ @Zotmeister @eieio lord. This is why humans can't have nice things. Thank you for your actions 😊 @eieio Also, found someone started a Sierpiński gasket - about two-thirds done - and I finished the job. It even held long enough to screencap it: @eieio@mastodon.gamedev.place it would be more fun without the spam protection, i want to play bad apple on this.
@eieio I could only do this when it wasn't loading properly on my iPad, Fun! 🤣🤣🤣 @eieio HMMMMM, and what is the function of the colored checkboxes? Not everyone has the same WWW browser window width. Which adds extra work for the hide/find naughty messages/images crowds, of course. @eieio Digital bubblewrap, what a devious trap for my attention span. |
@eieio this has hdd defrag vibes
