#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
I disabled backspace because I wasn't sure whether it should delete the char before the cursor (better for typing) or under the cursor (more natural if you click on something to delete it). Guess I'll just pick one... or have it delete under only if you clicked there?
Definitely the character before. Delete key should delete the character under the cursor.
It works now btw. You probably have to refresh.

works OK in Opera 9 and 10
If it works in Opera, then it is too CPU-heavy on this older machine. I don't understand what it is, and can't interact with it.

You could probably convince people to buy letters close to the "origin".

Confirmed, works in Opera 10b2.

#47This site proves the old "normal person + anonymity == total retard" maxim. Trending topics seem to be "gay", "penis", and "Django sucks" - lol.
Me and about 5 other people were talking about slashes, for like an hour. Made up a good joke out of it:
--Two slashes walk into a bar, one says to the other, "you got to make sure you help me 'escape' from here"
Totally had a blast \\\\\

I assume you only construct a tile if someone types in it; not if someone simply scrolls over it? How large are the tiles?
Correct, and 8x16.
Got it. I ask because the tile size will seem to directly impact the amount of data store contention (aka the number of db.TimeoutExceptions). It would be an interesting study to look at contention rates (percentage of failed datastore reads) vs. tile sizes when the app is under load.
(I also assume you make use of memcache, though I further presume that typing implies an immediate db put().)

#49So, it's chaos, and a lot of it is junk, but there's a good bit of good stuff in there too.
If the interface were better (navigation & editing commands) that would be sweet.
Privacy would be a matter of picking a distant enough location, if you could jump to it.
I also want zooming, but that would be a pretty major undertaking.

#50I love how everything's penis, or gay, or some variation thereof. Scrolling around to find the more erudite conversations was remarkably fun though. I kind of like it just as it is..
if you find the good conversations, try to make breadcrumbs to them, but nothing that attracts vandals
