I have always liked the yearly r/place shenanigans and I wanted to learn more about websockets. This is the result. The code is a mess but feel free to read it here: https://github.com/jstjnsn/pxlz
The wood looks amazing, keep it up!

Good point, I’ll think of adding that, thanks for the idea!

Amazing! Thank you for taking the time to make this :)

If you mean from a drawing of lines in the exact same style to the original text prompt, i dont think so. Unless you make some program that can be given the start and endpoint of the drawing, then it could decode the length and angle of all lines from end to start. This would not allow for overlapping lines though, since multiple lines could be overlapping, but maybe that actually doesnt matter. Could be a fun experiment :)

Here is something I never would have thought to be done with my funky lines generator :’)

Yeah, some people in the comments got really creative but it would definitely be nice if sharing it would be easier. I might also add a download as png button at the bottom of the canvas. (Can already be done by right clicking but thats not very user friendly)

For every letter typed a line is drawn. The length of the letter is determined by its position in the alphabet. The next line will be drawn with a rotation depending if its in the first or the second half of the alphabet. So it goes to the left is its between a and m and to the right if its between n and z. Hope that clears it up for you!

Update: wow I did not expect this response, I am so happy that people are enjoying Names! I have gathered some ideas for new features and improvements from the comments, I will see if I can implement them.

Thank you! It was made with the generator :)

"Names" is a programmatic visualisation of letters in a word, based on their position in the alphabet. Try typing a word yourself in the box below!
