place

Log pixels on /r/place

Setup

git clone https://github.com/wgoodall01/place.git
cd place
npm install
npm install -g pm2
pm2 start --name "place" index.js

It also works without pm2, but there are some fun metrics you would miss out on.

What it does

1. Make a sqlite3 database with some tables and stuff
2. Connect to the /r/place websocket, log everything to the place table
3. Request the place bitmap every 60s, write that as a BLOB to the bitmap table

Other stuff

Run ./export_csv.sh, and assuming you have sqlite3 in your system path it will dump the whole place table into a export-${timestamp}.csv
