Spritesheet walker #21

Open JohnTigue opened 2 years ago

JohnTigue commented 2 years ago

Since PFP collections are being distributed as spritesheets, we should have a UI that walks such tilemaps (each tile 24x24) one tile at a time. Tinder for NFT collections, with a 4-way or 8-way swipe control.

"Tinder for NFT collections" means the swiping sort of hunt UI. Now if the spritesheet has randomly organized/plotted PFPs, then the "Tinder" algorithm will seem pretty stupid. But if the spritesheet is actually plotted via, say, UMAP then drunkenly walking around the spritesheet/tilemap will seem pretty smart, because similar images will be near each other (via some high dimensional metric). This way a user can "walk" to embedding neighborhoods to find the sort NFT PFPs they are looking for.

Definitely experiment with this "newfangled" scroll snap. He says be careful when using it horizontally. Ok. And we are not doing a text page rather tilemapping. So, experiment with both V and H snap.

And CSS prefers-reduced-motion could be use to disable the effect, if that's what the user wants. So, we should use that.
