I'm using your same browser on my phone. I touch a spot and something appears at random. I touch the same spot again and it's replaced by something random. I don't think there is a way to chose what to place in a given spot or to empty it so I don't see the purpose of the game (is it a game?) Anyway it's OK as first prototype. Just add a menu to choose plants from and it's done.

On PC the natural emojis are added on hover. When you hover again a different emoji is put in its place.

I gave it a try on desktop. I don't know if it's much better or much worse. Probably it's just an art installation, we take what it is. BTW there was no sound on mobile.

Took me a while to fill it all. Nothing exciting happens. If ideas for developing it further are welcome: Make them bees fly to flowers, spiders web their nets, rabbits hunt down carrots etc, sun flowers turning and pointing towards the sun... Shaders to make flowers sway in the wind and why not randomly turn the mouse pointer into a water can? An "ouch" sound effect when you hit a cactus.

hold mouse button to erase would be welcome

If you don’t get any sound, try clicking anywhere on the page. On Safari on macOS I can hover to reveal, but no sound plays until there is a click.

Well, this is delightful. Something interesting I've observed here... for most people this is very claming (like me). However for a small percentage of people it seems to induce anxiety because they can't understand why it exists or what it is for.

The latter is a weird reaction. Do such people look at a beautiful park and say "How awful! It isn't USEFUL! AHHHHH!!!" Burn all the landscape paintings, why don't you. And why stop there. Burn all the landscapes! What an bizarre and narrow mindset. Maybe the purpose is beauty? Pleasure? Contemplation? Maybe a little fun? It's like this person has some specific end in mind that they happen to care about, and anything…

The sound made my mind bounce off this. I don't know why but I found the audio caused an anxiety response.

(For me, much better on mute)

Not useless, but pointless. Gives vibes of adult coloring (books). Thank you.

You liar ;)

Maybe it's what you feel inside, not on the screen! ;-)

It feels good, right?

This is so awesome! I noticed the favicon too changes to the current emoji (nice little detail)

That’s what I do on my site! It is (AFAIK) the only way to get platform-specific, dynamic emojis as the favicon.

It's technically a video game. Why do any of them exist?

Aaah, Ludology! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_studies

Interesting, I almost never have sound on so didn't know there was audio.

I'm just learning JS and P5.play - possibly a daft question why is using SVG useful over say just an emoji/text?

It's interesting (to me) in this specific example because it generates a favicon using SVG + emoji. I wasn't aware that could be done. Favicons can't be simple enoji/text, they have to be an image.

big thanks for the reply

the grid is made up of

fields, I thought you just could replace the sqiggly line (background) with an emoji/text using the right font etc instead of svg/emoji
