This is interesting...

My mate Philipp Lenssen came up with this interesting experiment which he called "Ajax Pixel Group"

Basically you click on a pixel to revert it's colour so you can make some interesting images.

Why is this such a big thing?
Well, it's because it's all done in real-time, you'll see the page change before your eyes while you're making your picture.

In fact, he's even made a video of it:

(My claim to fame is making the smiley face and Google logo at 14:45 in the video

)

Obviously wasn't that interesting

I looked at it and couldn't work out what it was I was looking at - maybe I missed the point

the video link didn't work, for me, but the 'live' page was ok - who is going to be the first to write a 'naughty' word, then ?

the interactivity is an interesting concept, not much fun as a spectator sport, though

Ok, just had a look at the live page.

I would say more frustrating than it is interesting..... I was trying to write "pooh" but someone kept changing my squares

- suppose you could wait till it was the middle of the night & sneak in quick, while everyone is in bed

- draw a quick Mona Lisa & skedaddle before anyone notices

True, it got screwdriver ok, but not banana or digital camera, I like the way it's user updated though.

What a cop out....

It asked me if it was human, I said yes, that was it game over - Vader claimed he had won!! Didn't guess the right human

The fat bloke in the crown needs to be introduced to the force though

Chimaera · 21-05-2005, 18:11

(Well I was trying to think of something it wouldn't possibly guess)

How long must that have taken to program?
