SketchCow: Hey! Glad you're still with us. :) I talked w/ @hitsthings about the PhantomJS problem. tl;dr: PhantomJS doesn't fully support Typed Arrays, which are super important to BrowserFS and Emscripten. You may want to consider using SlimerJS, which presents a PhantomJS-like API but uses an unmodified version of Firefox. Downside: You need to run it with xvfb to run it in headless mode. Upside: Any website that works in Firefox will work in SlimerJS, re |

Let me know if you want any assistance porting your existing script to SlimerJS. The changes should be fairly minor. https://docs.slimerjs.org/current/differences-with-phantomjs.html |

(I've personally used SlimerJS to capture data from a WebGL application, so I have some experience with it.) |

Honestly, I don't understand why PhantomJS has so much mindshare given the bugs. I was very shocked to find web workers in a broken state. I'm even more shocked that they don't claim to support typed arrays! |
|

jvilk |
I guess what they *do* support is good enough for the average web application. |

yeah I was pretty surprised to hear that too |

bai |
well...I'm on mobile so not sure if it's what the experience is made for....I saw the intro message, now I'm seeing what looks like a static image, basically the voyager plaque, but apart from decoding it by hand I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to be doing |

hmm. mobile wasn't in the design! |

mobile should emulate click events at least |

db48x |
precision is the other problem on mobile |

I'd probably have to go to a single-click model of interaction, where I automatically select the symbol you touch |
|
20:46
🔗
|
db48x |
but that kinda feels like cheating, since it builds into the page knowledge of what a symbol is |
|

is it supposed to do something after you designate a symbol |

yes |
|
23:17

|
db48x |
it gives you a place to type in what the symbol should be replaced with |

DFJustin |
I've got that, but then what |

type something in the text box? |
|
23:18
🔗
|
DFJustin |
yep |
|
23:19

|
db48x |
and it replaces the symbols it finds in the image with whatever you typed |
|

|
SketchCow |
So, just for the record: yes, slimer is one way to do it but it's barely above what I'm doing now |
|

|
DFJustin |
that's the part it doesn't do |

Other than (hopefully) the ability to grab the direct canvas |

db48x |
did you select a completely unique symbol? :D |

|

did it find any other matching symbols? |
