At the height of One Million Checkboxes's popularity I thought I'd been hacked. A few hours later I was tearing up, extraordinarily proud of some brilliant teens.

Here's my favorite story from running OMCB :)

@eieio@mastodon.gamedev.place I... love how this is supposedly a group of weird gay young adults who incidentally also play NOITA (of course they do)

I can see them change the world

Człowiek robi program i wrzuca go do netu. Rzucają się na to dzieciaki i programują coś odlotowego.

Co robi autor oryginału?

a) cieszy się

b) straszy je pozwem

Twórca #OMCB cieszy się tak bardzo, że aż przechodzą ciarki (sami przeczytajcie: https://eieio.games/essays/the-secret-in-one-million-checkboxes/).

Co robi różnicę? Indywidualny temperament? Jak nie wiadomo, o co chodzi, to pewnie chodzi o pieniądze...

@andre @eieio I don’t know… was I inspired in March 2024 by a project that launched in June 2024? Maybe, who knows… 🤔

(Although, knowing me, I probably would have mentioned it had I been.)

@eieio I remember tinkering about with that for a little bit, reminded me of an old MIT student project from the early 00s where people could draw little 8x8 1bit graphics with what was basically checkboxes.

This was a lovely write up to read!

@eieio That reminds me of Pixelflut, which you can often find at (German? European?) chaos/hacker scene events!

Basically the same thing except with colored pixels, only bots and very fast. I don't know what typical bandwidths are, but here's a picture of the canvas at #GPN22 that shows 130GBit/s incoming on the server.

See https://entropia.de/GPN22:Pixelflut for info about the network they had at the event!
