🎨 How To Paint

1. Go to the Issues tab.
2. Click New Issue.
3. Use this exact format in the title:

Paint [A5] #FF5733

That’s it.

If valid, your pixel will be painted automatically.

---

📏 Valid Coordinates

Rows: A–H
Columns: 1–8

Examples:

• Paint [A1] #FF0000
• Paint [H8] #00FFAA

---

⏳ Game Rules

• 🕒 One paint per user every 24 hours
• 🔒 Each painted tile is locked for 1 hour
• Format must match exactly: Paint [Coordinate] #HEXCODE
• Coordinate must be between A1 and H8
• Color must be a valid 6-digit HEX code
• Invalid format → Issue labeled Invalid
• Successful paint → Issue labeled Completed
• Every action is permanently recorded in data/state.json

🧠 What Is This?

The Global Rorschach Canvas is a shared 8×8 grid.

Anyone can paint. Anyone can overwrite. No one controls the outcome.

Patterns emerge. Conflicts form. Meaning is projected.

It’s not a picture.

It’s behavior.

⚙️ How It Works

• GitHub Issue = Input
• GitHub Action = Validation + Mutation
• SVG (map.svg) = Visual State
• data/state.json = Persistent Game State
• Git commit history = Permanent ledger

Everything happens publicly.
