Link Mauve, idea for next year congress: XMPPPixelflut, where you stend one stanza at a time to flip a pixel on the display (server software should preferably be not in python)

> Link Mauve, idea for next year congress: XMPPPixelflut, where you stend one stanza at a time to flip a pixel on the display (server software should preferably be not in python) mathieui: how big is the canvas ? Are there open source frontends for this kind of thing already? The backend part seems easy and fun to build ↺

moparisthebest: canvas is as big as you want it, usually it is projector-resolution sized so you can show it to everyone

And there are plenty of pixelflut projects on github I guess

(N.B.: if people play seriously, it can seriously impact the relevant server :p)

Obviously server will be Rust :)

mathieui
moparisthebest, I mean, the servers people will go through to send the stanzas will also be impacted

Shouldn't be at all, we are talking human initiated traffic
-
mathieui
moparisthebest, usually pixelfluts are very much not human-driven, but something people push gigabytes of traffic through constaintly in an attempt to push their image (and keep it) on the display
-
moparisthebest
eh, still very small traffic that shouldn't be a problem at all

So each message is a color and coordinates for 1 pixel ?

Yup
