Reddit has decided to run another edition of r/place in mid July for some unimaginable reason.

It seems to me that it would be stupid to not at least attempt to advertise for Lemmy given the perfect opportunity. Many have expressed concerns about giving reddit more traffic, but a few thousand users is less than a rounding error to reddit. However, getting a few thousand more redditors to move to Lemmy would be great for us.
Hopefully I can get a few sh.itheads to help in this noble endeavor. If not, at least I tried.
Thanks for uploading this, it's really cool
If I had more time, it could have been even cooler. I would write all the sonification code in Python, which would allow assigning pitches to individual colors. That way, each flag would have its own (likely dissonant) chord, and battles would have an obvious way to tell who is winning, with the void having a low-pitched hum and the whiteout emitting a high-pitched "eek". However, I did not have nearly enough time for this little project so I just used amplitude modulation of white noise and did not encode any information in the frequency domain. At least the stereo channels have an intuitive mapping to the X-coordinate where changes are happening.
