Does the Canvas api have support for webp?

Fair point, although I like the blur effect. But you can also fill in with a solid color or transparency.

Thanks It was fun to build.

Good idea. I've just changed it so now you can keep pushing the blur button and it will increase the blur by 1px for each push.

The single player mode is just for beginners, but I do think we have a pretty nice multiplayer feature, where you can easily challenge others and start a new game without creating an account (we don't have accounts).

The alternative to serverless isn't "single instance". With Elastic Beanstalk you can have multiple instances, autoscaling etc.

Yes, ALB would have been a much better fit for us. We used API Gateway because that's what the serverless framework sets up (at least by default) and I didn't know you could use ALB in front of Lambda.

Yeah, that would have been a much better fit. I just didn't know you could put ALB in front. (Also, a "load balancer" in front of serverless... , and yes I know load balancer do more than load balance.) I mainly went with API

There are definitely still things you need to think about with Lambda, like how much memory you want to allocate etc.

There are no user accounts on the site, and there is no tracking of any users. I simply saw the avatar image that he posted and targeted that, so probably a few random users got Darth Vader as well. Also, even if there were user accounts, t

I agree :) This was definitely luck, most people never get celebrities tweeting about their games. And I guess now I am getting some marketing value out of it, but honestly I just wanted to share this with an audience that I knew would appr

Well, given that he retweeted a tweet that had the explanation of how it worked, and he added the #BestFansInTheGalaxy hashtag I think he's OK. But really, I probably wouldn't have done anything like this for another celebrity, if

Yeah, this was not so much marketing as luck and wanting to make a cool easter egg.

Exactly. Each avatar is made up of 6 features, hair, hair color, skin color, eyes and mouth. No nose, because who needs them! So each part has a code, and I can store a face as a simple 6 character string. Then I just compared against the i

Probably. I'm using 10.0 (11602.1.50.0.10), which is what I got when I upgraded through the App Store this morning.

by einaregilsson 10y ago
No, it doesn't work on all builds of 10. I have Safari 11602.1.50.0.10, which is WebKit 602.1.50, it happens there at least.
