real time action drawing, indeed

This is what happens when you post a collaborative drawing app to a twitter account that has 1500 active followers.

Time from posting to first drawing was about 6 seconds. I wish I had caught it from the beginning.

    ps. the trick is firebug and firecookie ;), and then set linecolor and linewidth, refresh

    Or just directly call colorillo.lineWidth(integer) and colorillo.lineColor(‘color’).

    Bonus if you do so from a JavaScript setTimeout: gradients!

    At one point, this evolved through spontaneous cooperation between several people: http://i35.tinypic.com/11uj241.png

    I drew the “Wiki-art” heading, someone else immediately did the horizontal rule and bullet points, and it went from there. It evolved a bit more after my screenshot, too. Naturally, someone drew a “no” in front of both bullets. :)

    And ever so often, one of us writes on the canvas the javascript URI to increase the line width, and everything goes insane for a bit.

    This rocks. :)

    Pattern I’ve seen more than once now: someone writes ∫x dx = ?, someone else writes x^2/2, and a third person adds + C.

    I love the internet sometimes. :)
