A path is something you obtain by somehow drawing from one point to another, e.g. a line, and then starting another drawing between two points from the end point.

Dotted path by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
A dotted line is a generalized line that cycles between a color pattern, e.g.:
r r g
would be a line:
r r g r r g r r g
An extra color "transparent" may also be added to not change for that pixel.
Box by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
A rectangular container.
The toplevel viewport is always implicitly understood as a special box.

Optimize by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
There is no unique solution, we just have to optimize something, often the least changed colors.

Object by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
An "object" is a set of points that is understood to be one singular entity.
Contiguity and having the same color are strong indicators that something should be understood as an object.
Background color by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
If a color is inferred to be a background color, it contains no information and should be ignored.
Most problems tend to use black as a background color, but not all of them.

Bitcoin 2011 vanity address pool by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
This section lists transactions from 2011 that appear to contain pools of vanity addresses. There were first discovered while researching Base58 messages, but since they just contain bulk commercial stuff with little artistic value we've decided to keep them here instead of in the museum:

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!

Intro to OurBigBook

We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    • to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
    • as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
