Do the adjacent tiles affect the likelihood of getting certain creatures? First paint had no creatures, then I started getting ants, rats, doves, spiders, hedgehogs, and now my first bumblebee and rabbit.

A region of clovers seems to increase four-leaves clovers.

Edit - ok I guess not, after looking through the code. Still, getting the lion was pretty amazing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am part of the second group. Wouldn't even call it anxiety, but just some sort of "light disgust" feeling. Ok I guess it's cool, but you can't do anything useful with it. You can't even draw something meaningful with it like the domain says.

I totally understand the pseudo-autistic disgust/anger at inaccurate statements. I imagine a lot of us programmers are very sensitive to them in a discipline where small inaccuracies can have big consequences and I myself am easily irked by this type of thing. However, sometimes the inaccuracy stems from poor communication (or deliberate lying) on behalf of the communicator, but sometimes it comes from gaps in our ow…

Yep if you have a good therapist they’ll help you learn and recognize to try and ignore that feeling in certain contexts like this! Of course it’s super nuanced person to person.

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

Yes, and I've not seen this before, the HTML uses an SVG with an emoji in it as the favicon:

    
      
        :( HN has remove the emoji
      
    ">

Very neat. Might use that.

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 that isn't it must be pointless.

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.

Some do.

There is a saying . "a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing" Oscar Wilde i think.

No anxiety, just wondering if, since it is on HN and highly upvoted, I'm missing something. That's what you get if you go to the website first and only then read the comments :)

My upvote is simply because is something that I like. In HN I guess because it is programming.
