By the time I arrived to this it was so subdivided it no longer looked like a Mondrian and someone had managed to write "ASS" in the lower left corner by changing the colors of adjacent rectangles.
oh it's gone through a lot of iterations - I have seen Among Us characters, people clearing out the canvas down to 8 rectangles, entire thing going one color, had to delete a few obscenities, etc
Awesome! I haven't had this much fun since r/Place.
The ultimate territorial acquisition strategy seems to be as follows:
- Pick a desired colour
- Choose a place to found your empire, ideally somewhere with a lot of large rectangles and a colour that takes few clicks to turn to yours
- Left click tiles to capture them for your colour
- Right click those same tiles many times to subdivide them into areas much smaller. What took you 1 click to capture will now take anyone else hundreds!

I like this very much. BUT: What I cannot save I do not remember (quoth the Old Guy). Any way to save these images as SVG. (Screen grabs are less satisfactory.)
Misread this as MMOndain [0] and thought it was going to have to do with the Ultima games

I thought I was going to learn about the category of endofunctors
Love the idea, silly as it is! What came before, the app idea or the pun?
Pun
Does this use the DeStijl manifesto. There were actual rules about how to use color and lines.

people wrote scripts to color everything one color, had to implement some limits, but I think should be good now
Sadly that is unequivocally a very fun thing to do, and honestly I was considering trying it before I came and checked the HN thread haha
Maybe Anubis-style proof of work?
oooh good idea thanks
implemented, thanks for the idea, love it
sorry about that and the merges! I'm stopping now :)
that was a fun way to spend the past hours
Was it you that was trying to get the German flag on there? If so, wow great job! Got a few screenshots!

yes hahah did it twice, I think OP nuked it once
it was a simple rule, if y < 1/3, black, if y < 2/3, ...
No worries lol. Learning experience for me :)
My edits disappear either right away, or I can recolor for 20 seconds and then it gets reloaded with the previous colors.
I think I'm having stability issues with lots of users, will try to figure it out, sorry
OMG I thought I was fighting with someone really fast.
I thought so too! Maybe it was true
No need to apologize, just wanted to let you know there is an issue.
It looks like you need to batch your updates and not tie them directly to UI actions, imo!
Cool project!

I have a script that generates images every hour, will adapt it to let people save states!
I can't seem to pan, it would be nice if the zooming would zoom in to the mouse location. (I did manage to write HI near the left edge though.)
merging squares was the most satisfying part for me, but there is a bug sometimes when merging, the server refuses to do it even though it's valid
yeah - merging has been tricky to nail down, definitely the thing that's gone through the most iterations so far
Doesn’t seem to work, just unclicks whatever I click.
Same. I thought I was in a battle of wills, and I guess I was, just not the way I thought.
Removing lines doesn't seem to work, it flashes out but then stays in.
Have to click on black lines. They can be moved too.
I did, it flashes out, then it comes back in.
