I built a pixel canvas where the biggest buyer sits in the center

I've always loved the story of the Million Dollar Homepage as the creator made the website to pay for his tuition fees so I got inspired from him and made this to pay for mine. Story: I finished my masters in CS with a first class degree but couldn’t graduate this July because I couldn’t pay the fees.

Anyways,

How it works: you buy a rectangle of pixels and fill it with pixel art, text, or an image. The twist is you don't pick where it goes. The highest paying tile sits at the dead center of the canvas, and everyone else spirals outward by how much they paid. So your position isn't permanent if someone outbids you, the whole canvas re-sorts and your tile physically slides outward. Amounts are hidden on the canvas itself, so you can only guess who paid what from where they sit. There's a top 10 leaderboard that does show the numbers.

Browsing is free, you can pan and zoom the whole thing without an account: thepixelorbit.com

Happy to answer anything about the packing algorithm or how it's built. Also genuinely want to hear what's confusing about it I've stared at this too long to see it clearly anymore.

Need money for shoes and clothes

Hi,

My name is Chris but I go by Tj I’m not usually a beggar so this is desperate. About a month ago my car got stolen all my basketball stuff and shirts were most likely dumped or sold (no evidence left behind). I don’t have any shoes for basketball and barely have any for school ( this is my first few months at this school and we are still moving stuff from the storage garage) I have a passion for basketball and I will do anything to achieve my dreams. Please find it in your heart to send money to my Cash App. I’m not asking for 1000 or even 100, if you donate anything it will be appreciated

Struggling senior.

Good day everyone, I (64f) really need financial help until my husbands (65m) Social security is granted. If only this community could assist me with a couple of dollars each, I'm sure I can catch up on my mortgage, utilities and medical bills. Here's my situation, my husband, who was the bread winner of our family had an major stroke that left him with brain damage. He lost the ability to talk, write and walk without help. We dig have life insurance and critical accident insurance but both claims are not paying because he did not pass away. His employer fired him while he was still on medical leave and they do not return our calls or texts. . We've applied for cash and food assistance but we were denied. We live on food boxes now. Our little extented family has helped but they too have responsibilities and can not continue to assist us financially. Myself, I'm on disability due to my kidney failing and chronic migraine disease. I'm, my husband full time caregiver. Most days, both of us are just laying in bed all day bc we both can't move due my chronic pain or his trouble with balance due to him being slightly paralyzed on his right side. We are living off my SSD now which is not enough to live on, yes, it's something and very grateful. I'm from an older generation who have trouble asking for help but I'm humbled. I need help and I'm asking if you could send me a few dollars so I can catch up with my responsibilities or soon, we'll also be homeless. I'll send you a Thank you note and prayers in return. Please help us struggling seniors.

Need a help with a dentist/ tooth infection

Hi everyone,

I’m usually the kind of person who handles everything on my own, but right now I’ve hit a wall and really need some help. 

I’m immigrant living on my own, working hard at 2 jobs to pay my bills, and trying my best. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and I even try to donate to charity when I have a little extra. (Also, sorry if my English isn't perfect!) 

Asking my family for financial help isn't an option for me. 

Right now, I only have 150e left in my bank account. My rent (700e) is due in 2 days, and to make things worse, I came down with a really painful tooth infection. I take good care of my teeth so I’m really upset this happened. 

The dentist quoted 800e for a root canal or 170e for an extraction, so I’m going with the extraction. 

The pain is unbearable right now, so I’m humbly asking if anyone could lend me 170e just to get this tooth taken care of. As for my rent, I’m going to talk to my landlord and try to arrange a payment plan. 

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read this!

If you contact me, I’m more than happy to hop on FaceTime with you so you can see I’m a real person who isn't lying and is truly in need.

need urgent help!! (serious)

i’m 20(f) and me and my ex bf(23m) broke up around an year ago after a 2 year relationship. during that period he moved to another country and used to send me money for ott subscriptions and even for my medicines and 1-2 times when i asked him upfront for some books since i had my gap year and wasn’t in college or working and my family isn’t in a good financial position
a few days ago he reached out asking back all the money he sent me amounting to almost 20,000 and asked me to send them immediately otherwise he will reach out to my family and relatives or even send people to my home and cause a scene.
i tried to look for part time jobs but i’m busy with college exams and had no luck whatsoever till now
although i have asked a few people to let me work in their business and they might accept
he texted again today to send it positively by today and i have no idea what to do..
if anyone can please help me out i would return the amount back to you after saving up within the span of an year including interest rates.. i don’t even mind sharing my aadhar pan or any personal details since i am in a very serious situation… please genuine help will be highly appreciated 😭

Asking for genuine help

My mother passed away and before the funeral we were already barely making it by as is, but it’s just put us in even more debt I have just turned 18 as well and I’m working as much as I can at our local grocery store to pay it off while also worrying about other expenses, I did set up a GoFundMe but eventually just took it down because, After posting about it and trying to spread the word as much as possible we got $50 which we were extremely greatful for, but we just got embarrassed asking for help but I’m willing to try again, we still owe a little over $4,000 on the funeral bill and we do want to get her a headstone if possible.
We have even tried talking about setting up a donation thing at our church and that didn’t work out, now I also understand the whole world is struggling right now, but if this post reached 6,000 people and everyone donated just a $1, we would be able to completely pay off her bill and get her the headstone.
Much love thanks for read
