    Depending on whats possible, we could do something similar to R/place and every so often expand the canvas start off with something small eg.512x512 and add another 512 px. along side

      If I remember right, r/place “scaled up” by adding more blank canvas. But it might be more interesting to actually scale up the previous pixels as well, so each iteration is overlaying the previous one with higher detail.

      The end result wouldn’t look as empty, because it would be easier to fill large areas early on.

        Interesting idea. That would perhaps wreck a lot of pixel art, but I guess it’d be fine scaled up to 2x2 pixels as you often see it like that anyway.

        If that happens, it should be a surprise - would really throw a spanner in the works and make it a unique event. The more I think about this idea, the more I like it!

        Or to make it more realistic, let it expand like the universe. I.e. add extra space between each two pixels:

        example
        w=blank/white, b=non-blank
        wwwww
        wbbbw
        wbbww
        wwwww
        ->
        wwwwwwwwww
        wwwwwwwwww
        wwbwbwbwww
        wwwwwwwwww
        wwbwbwwwww
        wwwwwwwwww
        wwwwwwwwww
        wwwwwwwwww
        

        Or keep non-blank pixels together, because of pixel bounds.

        I like this idea. It also allows filling the previous larger art with more detail. Maybe once 50% of the Virgin pixels are used, it scales up.
