Definitely did a double take when I saw the URL, I don’t see many .wtf urls let alone so close to my own.

Fun little game :)

I made this game; in case anyone's wondering how the scoring works: It draws your version over the original with 'difference' compositing, then downscales the result (using 'medium' quality to avoid most pixels getting skipped) and adds up the R, G & B values for every pixel in that small image. This total is then compared with the total difference for the initial state (which represents 0%).

Darker areas have the biggest initial difference, and the whole pic is darker than the initial canvas, so get a lot of paint down and pay most attention to the dark bits, you'll soon get over 70%. 85% is v good, and I think 90% is probably possible with enough skill and speed.

It's kind of fun, but pretty difficult and I would like to have an option for more time.

Also, I'm not so sure about the scoring.

I got over 80% just painting solid color rectangles filling the entire width stacked top to bottom.

That is better than I got when I actually tried drawing the picture as accurately as I could.

I did a full black painting and got 65%. Kinda showcases how humans and computers differ in how they "see" things.

This is really cool - the scoring is "easy" enough that it felt rewarding enough to spend the time on. Though it may need tweaking if as someone mentioned a solid color gets 80%. Maybe it just needs to have the mean subtracted first so a color doesn't automatically being you closer than 0,0,0? (I could be completely misunderstanding how it works).

A hosted leaderboard with pics that got the highest % would be cool
