#fixatocodes — Public Fediverse posts

Updated my Mastodon (glitch-soc) tweaks user-script (which is currently just CSS tweaks) a bit to have a different fallback font as Verdana was causing issues with combining glyph composition. (See this thread for some debugging of that.)

Tweaks included:

• Increase the width of the first and last column so there's more space for the text and media of your home timeline, and the expanded posts
• Increase size of emoji / emotes when you hover over them, making it easier to see what they are supposed to represent
• Change the font to Optima Nova LT Pro, Atkinson Hyperlegible, Roboto, Arial, or a sans-serif font.
• Add a small purple bar above images that come without status content text, so you have some easy-to-click-on area to expand the post.

This evening I started #coding on my "Find it" or "Spot the differences" kind of game, after seeing #BeardGrabber get rather excited over playing a similar thing with me through a YouTube video we came across, and not being able to find decent free alternatives.

Several hours later I think I have something quite presentable already. So, here is my Secret of Mana-inspired find-the-differences game which runs in your browser.

No third party resources; just some javascript for detecting clicks and toggling visibility of markers indicating successful guesses and updating the counters, and an SVG that contains the two pictures and the difference markers.

Can you find all 12 differences?

(It definitely could still use some improvements, such as maybe have an option of putting the images below each other instead of side-by-side, and looking into accessibility improvements, and making it easier to add your own images, but this #toy will primarily be for me and kiddo to enjoy.)

#hashtags I regularly use:

• #FiXatoCreative a collection of all my creative outlets. I usually combine these with one of the following:
• #FiXatoPaints for my physical media paintings and #FiXatoPaintsDigitally for my digital ones.
• #FiXatoDraws drawings made with other materials than paint. Distinction is not always very clear cut, and I may use them interchangeably.
• #FiXatoWrites for my writing activities
• #FiXatoFoto as well as #photography and #dailyPhoto for photographs I've taken.

Then there's also these other topics that interest me:

• #FiXatoCodes and #coding (which is perhaps better used as a profile filter: FiXato's #coding posts)
• #FiXatoStreams for my posts about my #livestreaming activities.
• #FiXatoBlog for posts I would like to expand to full blog posts at a later point, or for posts about the development of said blog.
• #MSX and #MSX2 for posts about the MSX #homecomputer from the 80s.
• #FiXatoFood for food I eat and/or make
• #pun and #puns for the puns I make
