Going to start doing some daily Godot tips, both to force me to look for cool things the editor does so I can use it myself and to help out anyone else

Also posting these on my account on https://bytes.programming.dev

If youve got any tips I can put for a future day feel free to give me it and I can queue it up if I havent already

You can see the final canvas here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/

We managed to finish our design pretty quickly and there was also the godot logo, the lattice pattern to the right, the cable leading from the monitor to the outlet up near one of the other designs, and everything else people helped with!

Ill be prepping for the next canvas close to when that happens (next year) and if anyone else wants to help out with the design you can help plan it out in the event channel on the discord/matrix

If anyone wants to help out with developing new features for the next time canvas occurs the projects open source. https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase

Hey everyone! Thanks for participating in Canvas. I wanted to make a thread to collect together suggestions people have that can be worked on before the next Canvas.

Feel free to also throw in suggestions for future Events we can build and run for the fediverse.

Ill be collecting suggestions together and making issues for them in the repository for myself or some other contributors to work on (the projects open source so anyones free to contribute! https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase)

As part of an update that was just pushed you can now enable "New Pixel Pulses" which will make a little circle for a bit surrounding any new pixels that get placed onto the canvas

You can use this to see where activity is happening on the canvas

This was originally made as a userscript by soda_cans and was adapted by me into the actual codebase

Enjoy :)

Currently on the canvas theres a bunch of blank space remaining. This is both due to people using the blank space as part of their design and due to some areas not having backgrounds yet!

(The green shade in the attached image is the blank canvas filter, you can find it in settings to see whats blank space and whats white)

As we head into the last part of canvas if you have any spare pixels you dont know what to do with you can drop some to help out some of the backgrounds

Some example locations:

Bi flag (around y=437)

Gray lattice (around 472, 461)

Whitespace in OSU (around 313, 265)

Void (around 709, 218)

Foliage (around 581, 493)

Yellow (around 74, 469)

Blue and Teal (around 271, 201)

White stripes in the upper flags (around 350, 46)

If you have any others post them in a comment

Image linked has a red line for where the cables currently planned to go. Any help is appreciated to give our monitor some power!

I started the cable from the outlet and its currently the gray color (third from the left) and will have some parts that need to be shadowed shadowed with the fourth color from the left in the palette

After 15 hours of canvas being active we have finished the design for the instance (and c/godot is also complete over there as well)!

Theres one faction that is going around attacking things sometimes so we still need to defend the design but feel free to go out and help our neighbors! You can find some of the designs over in the group finder thread https://programming.dev/post/16546238

One of our neighbors who needs some help is lemmy.zip. You can find their template here if you want to help build up their logo https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=291&y=417&zoom=4&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FhuITY4p.png&tw=71&tx=255&ty=375&ts=NUMBERS

The canvas event has just started and will be active for 3 days. You can find the programming.dev templates here:

one to one template for an instance design: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=402&y=382&zoom=2&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F9a57789d-d7d9-4646-b7f1-3e00bb6d02c9&tw=500&tx=0&ty=0&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

And then a dotted template here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=403&y=382&zoom=2&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fbytes.programming.dev%2Ffiles%2F9a57789d-d7d9-4646-b7f1-3e00bb6d02c9&tw=500&tx=0&ty=0&ts=DOTTED_BIG

(includes the programming.dev area, toast.ooo, and c/godot currently)

And then an image of the design

The fediverse canvas event is starting in a couple hours (event similar to r/place) and similar to last year I figured we can place the godot logo on it!

Canvas is an event where everyone can place a pixel every so often on a shared canvas. This can overwrite previously placed pixels which can lead to communities fighting for space on the canvas

You can find the link to it here: https://canvas.fediverse.events

I set up a template beside the main programming.dev area that you can find from the below links. This can be edited if theres another godot design people like more but figured it was a good start. For real time chatting im active on the programming.dev discord and matrix

Ive updated the canvas template a bit to include more communities below the main logo. Tried to include as many things as I could although a bunch are still missing

Might do another update to add on even more if I get time to do so

I collected together all of the templates I could find for different groups (originally did this to see where I can expand the programming.dev template out to but figured other people might be interested so they can see where there wont be as much conflict for space

Most of these are from the group finder thread. Some may be a pixel off but I tried to get things as close as possible (some of these are recreated since I couldnt get the source image from imgur or the source image is larger and was shrunk for the canvas with me not being able to replicate the shrink behaviour)

The factions included in here are:

• Australia
• Bronies
• Osu
• New Zealand
• Blahaj.Zone
• Programming.Dev
• Toast.ooo
• SquaredCircle
• Arecibo message
• Touhou
• SCP
• jlai.lu
• Anarchy chess
• Perchance
• Feddit.org

Ill try to do an updated post if needed with additional factions that post their templates close to when the event starts

And if theres anyone who wants to join up with the programming.dev template if youre tech related or if you want to ally feel free to reach out (you can find our groups in the group finder thread)

edit: moved SquaredCircle since they moved to not overlap with Osu

edit 2: added Lilou41's template

edit 3: updated osu and bronies to be more recent art

edit 4: added Lvxferre's template

edit 5: added touhou hijack

edit 6: added jlai lu

edit 7: added scp
