The /R/Place Atlas

On Apr 1st Reddit uploaded a 1,000 10 1,000 pixel canvass to the /r/place subreddit. The canvass was blank except for the message:

"There is an empty canvas. You may house a tile upon it, simply y'all must hold off to house another. Individually y'all tin exercise something. Together y'all tin exercise something more".

Reddit users could direct i pixel on the canvass as well as fill upwards it inwards amongst whatever color from a 16-bit palette. That user was therefore locked out of the canvass for v minutes. After v minutes the user could contribute unopen to other pixel to the canvas. The v infinitesimal lock-out for private users meant that dissimilar users manifestly had to endure together to exercise a recognizable pattern on the canvas.

The /r/Place Atlas is an interactive map of the consummate /r/Place canvass every bit it looked on the solar daytime contributions were stopped a few days afterwards Apr Fools Day. The map allows y'all to zoom inwards as well as out on the canvas. You tin besides hover over private designs on the map for an explanation as well as links to whatever relevant subreddits or websites most the design. The map besides contains a search facility to automatically detect whatever of 1207 dissimilar designs on the canvas,
