You can even draw the Mona Lisa on it : http://pastebin.com/TUsqeMWT
(You need to expose the pixelCanvas globally first using a break point or something)

The scripted experiments are fun indeed :]
Also the firebase server usage is shooting up like anything :D
I think some people may be checking wether your script works or not
The demo page is quite anarchic but it's a fun concept. Given a goal there would probably be more incentive for random users to work together on something.
A metaphor of the tragedy of the commons. Try to draw something and it's quite quickly overwritten by some wild person just spinning the cursor.
Awesome! I already have a couple of ideas on how to use this as a teambuilding tool. Thanks for open-sourcing it!
Interesting, Chromium's network inspector does not show me how this transmits.
Yes, it does.
From the network inspector, click the one that says "web sockets"
Then select the entry from the list, looks something like ".ws?v=5&ns=pixelpals-server"
Then select frames from the 3 options "Headers Frames Cookies"
Should see the json data

Thanks! Even that does not update live though, I have to switch between the tabs to see the latest messages.
Yep, it's Firebase!
Was a Node implementation originally, but Heroku's free tier for Node didn't offer much persistence.
It uses Firebase for networking.
.. sorry
