Attempt at something cool. Bonus points if you actually understand what it is.

Comments: Would be good if you could somehow define your own color pallette. Obviously you are limited in how much data you can encode in with your available Tweet length... so not sure how plausible that would be. Still kinda fun, just hard to make anything decent out of the available canvas size.

All urls on Twitter are shortened with t.co to 22/23 characters (depending on https) so the url is not a limit.

Storing everything in the URL is a feature I just rolled out today. The HN submission is in honour of that. You can of course post it without the http://pix.pe/? to twitter, paste that chunk of letters back in, and it will work. Here is an example of how that looked:

https://twitter.com/ZenSaiyuki/status/373400181338693632

Which is neat, and purist and all, but people didn't know what the "gibberish" was, so making it a link is a compelling improvement, it would seem :)

I was really inspired by the twitter image compression challenge http://stackoverflow.com/questions/891643/twitter-image-enco...

The last one looks like a hummingbird, or perhaps some form of alien from a game.

In any other context this would probably be silly, but given the limitations... Beautifully done.

This is how sports work!

Dunno, some life-form out of the Game of Life?

I suspect it's a glider generator?

Love it, I just redrew it into this: http://www.julianpulgarin.com/canvaslife/

And it is a glider, effortlessly walking across my digital screen.

For the last one, I see a velociraptor :)

It looks like a Rorschach test. I guess thats not an answer you're allowed to give on rorschach tests.
