I have recently added an interesting feature on my site called “Community Sketchpad”. Users draw whatever they like- and it is added to a txt file as"S1X=34&S1Y=1&SN=false". Coordinates are taken every second and recorded in the format listed above. This gibberish is then sent to a PHP file, which then writes it to a \*.txt file…within a few days (from the feature’s upload) I began to receive some interesting sketches… I am interested to see what other users think of this concept…

(I should probably put a form for users to attribute work…cause I have absolutely no idea who drew this…)

The sketchpad can be found here:
