This is amazing - thank you!

You mean Ø? I accidentally inverted it, but it should be easy for people to flip it. Here’s a full list of what I’ve tried to represent:

ABCDEFGHIJ
LMNOPQRST
UVXYZ!?.,"«»
ØİKWYÐÞŁ
БГДЖЗИЛПЦ
ШЩЬЮЯФ

I didn’t include Ч because it’s easy to sub it with 4, Volapuk style.

Do you have some good examples of that? The more, the merrier - it might help people to get ideas.

Ah, that’s OK.

As I mentioned in another comment, I’m aware this is not the “only” way to do things. It’s more like a starting point - 5x3 letters look decent enough, they’re easy to distinguish, and even for the same size you can twist things up a bit (like adding a few pixels to ⟨A⟩, or making the ⟨8⟩ only seven pixels in total).

For example if you have less space you could make most letters 2x3 or 3x2, but it’ll look messy.

If you don’t mind having a few six pixels tall letters:

Ш (for reference), Щ, Ц (same problem as Щ), and У (it’s weird to use Y in its place, but I kind of forgot to add it).

Of course, this will depend on space, plus personal style. I’m not claiming this is the only way to do things, it’s just a viable “font” for people struggling with text in the canvas to use as starting point.

(I actually use a similar strategy with diacritics in the Latin alphabet. Specially ⟨Ç⟩.)

Counter argument

What argument are you exactly trying to “counter”?

A blåhajar?

For a lot of the game, I was shaving the German flag’s sides, top and bottom. My goal was to leave the text alone (it’s cool), but with the LGBTQ+ flag as a background. After all, once the Australian flag went MIA, the largest country flag in the canvas was the German one.

However, since I was doing it by myself and plenty users were reverting my “creative deflation” of the German flag, we quickly reached a standstill.

So I thought on the best way to make at least some vandalism last forever, for a final act of defiance against my Schweinekatze Siegfrieda waking me up 3AM out of nowhere country flags. The solution was to place them in the last seconds of the canvas, somewhere it would be easy for me to plop them all together, but you had to change colours to undo it. Somewhere close to each other for visibility. The net result was a wiggling line between the red and yellow.

…I RANKED 10TH? Holy fuck I really needed to touch some grass!

And damn, those pixel maps are great.

Good ol’ Revkas. No, wait, PEBKAC.

I’m glad I managed to do some change! …beyond, you know, pissing feddit.org off with my wiggly green line 🤣

(It’ll haunt their dreams until Canvas 2026.)

Ah :-/ I wish I saw it, just for the laughs!

If I didn’t suck so bad at recruiting people for my anti-flags faction, perhaps we would see less of them.

Fanfic = fiction written by fans of a certain work (series, book, etc.) Sometimes deviating from the original story, sometimes adding stuff or fixing plot holes, sometimes pairing characters into a romantic relationship…

Lemon = smut, sexually explicit fanfic.

In this case it’s being called “fanfic” metaphorically, as if both people in the chat were characters of some work.

I remember them mentioning some technical problem, right at the start. I kind of used the opportunity to write the “fuck flags // fuck nations // we’re in a single Earth” text, right where they’d make the union jack. Then I saw people actually making a background for it and thought “yeah, no huge Australian flag this time”.

I’d like to thank you for hosting the event, plus everyone who helped me out with a few pieces of art! Also, the furries for being great neighbours! And the Enterprise folks, for letting me build booze on their starship!

Mwahahahahaha! Bring it on!

(It wasn’t just the green wiggle - I actually managed to shave two lines off the flag, top and bottom. Plus some pixels from the sides, but those got undone really fast by Hörnchen and Comput3. My goal was to leave only the text with some border.)

You should’ve seen the chat. Hestia was almost writing a lemon fanfic about other two users, it was hilarious.

Ategon showed interest in the chat on making the notification chime configurable. So you could for example have it chiming when it’s full, or for any number of pixels.
