Ryugotchi Scene Creation Contest

[Stardust]

Now that I have time, I wanna go through and talk about each of you guys' entries so far!! Because you all are seriously so talented! I really love all of your bgs and want them all ;v; And I'm super excited to see what else gets submitted
@(you need an account to see links) I really love the color theme of the light pink + dark blue! The little desert stars are so cute, and you did a great job on the shading of the sand! I'm not familiar with that anime or scene, but I love yours regardless!!

@(you need an account to see links) I laughed so much at your entry, because honestly it's such a mood XD But I love how you stylized the fire, and that little mug on the table is perfect!

@(you need an account to see links) Ohh such a pretty forest! There's a bunch of hiking trails near where I live, but one in particular I love because it just feels so magical- there's so much moss and mushrooms, and always seems to be green even in winter months. And I get the same vibes from your entry as I do when I go hiking on that trail, so you def portrayed that mystical feeling well! And i love all the soft colors and greens!

@(you need an account to see links) Ahh such a gorgeous rainbow!! Simple but very pretty, and that makes for a good ryu bg!

@(you need an account to see links) This is amazing!! So detailed, those waves look great! And I love how it matches @(you need an account to see links) entry, like yours is the waves and zapd0s's is underneath those waves

@(you need an account to see links) Yaas let's make all the bee puns! XD I love this, it's so cute and I absolutely love the honeycomb pattern. (I also love bees, but I get that others might not so probably better to leave them out)

@(you need an account to see links) Ooh another famous painting! And one of my favorites too. Your entry so beautiful!! Looks just like the painting! And your blossom and cloud bgs are super pretty, I just love the colors in them!!


And also @(you need an account to see links) you are amazing for animating all these wonderful scenes!! It's so cool to see them all in action!

This isn't a real submission because it is very much not in the spirit of the rules, even if not expressly forbidden, just figured it would be a fun thing for us. Plus I have no idea how it would integrate to the actual Ryu ecosystem.

so what's so cool about that?

known bugs:

• that image and the one below will not actually update live (or even particularly regularly) until I fix some things because currently i have to do it manually by downloading and reuploading from glitch
• with that sometimes the static url doesn't work the way i want it to (so please check out the site!)
• the 256-color palette limit currently only works on a by-user basis, not globally
• but i realized with testing that with no eye drop tool, limiting is tedious and this will at the very least reduce frustration

I want to figure out how to automate saving the canvas locally and re-uploading it to the static URL or more ideally find a way to save there directly instead of to a temporary file directly in glitch, but I gotta read through some support threads more.

I want to add an eyedropper tool sooner than later.

I have no idea how this is going to handle more than two concurrent users because so far I have not had more than two concurrent users.

Please feel free to go buckwild, right now there's sort of an established color theme, but do what you want, i welcome chaos if that's the direction this goes in, but also feel free to stick with the theme because it is pretty.

credit where credit is due

• I made this originally from an example project for p5js + Glitch, but I changed a lot and I now can't find the original for the life of me.
• I heavily followed The Coding Train tutorial/lesson on node and websockets. ((you need an account to see links))
• I referenced a couple of projects that did similar shared-canvas/pixel art tutorials to help fill in some blanks and makes things run better, especially this project, (you need an account to see links).
• I owe an extra thanks to somebody who went in and fixed a bunch of my dependencies and some best-practice stuff after I ran into an error I couldn't figure out for the life of me early on with getting sockets.io to work.
• Thank you @(you need an account to see links) for hosting which was the spark and letting me bounce thoughts off you and then being the first tester and super @(you need an account to see links) for finding a workaround for the static URL issue.

okay this is entirely too much text for something that was gonna be "hahaha, this won't work with the rules but what if..."

[edit] still seem to have some cache issues with the image, but i'm trying to learn even though I should be working heh

Oh, no @(you need an account to see links) I'm not sure what could be wrong, could you DM some info about your browser/device? I had to start some stuff for work, but I should be able to look more closely into it later tonight. Sorry you're having trouble!
