One canvas. Everyone. Live.
DrawTheBlock is a single, infinite-pixel canvas shared by everyone online, divided into 1024 x 1024-pixel blocks. Unlike pixel games where you place one pixel and wait, you get a real brush engine, and your strokes have no timer. Other artists' cursors and strokes appear live as they work, and everything saved becomes a permanent part of a world anyone can wander.
How it works
- Explore. Pan and zoom across the shared world. The edge sits about nine quadrillion pixels from the origin in every direction, so there is room.
- Draw. Brush, pencil, fill, and erase on any block that allows it. Your in-progress strokes stream to everyone watching the same area as a live preview.
- Publish. Edits stay local until you hit Save. Saving makes them permanent for everyone; undo instead, and they never happened.
- Create. Mint brand-new blocks on empty space with the Create Block tool. Creating is free, with a short cooldown.
- Own. Buy unowned blocks with credits. Owners decide who may draw on their block: everyone, owner only, or a whitelist of friends. That is how crews hold territory and finished pieces stay finished.
- Share. Every block and camera view has a deep link. Paste it into Discord or anywhere else and the preview shows the actual artwork at that spot.
