I love this XKCD.

I have a bookmark for it, and whenever I want to kick back a bit, perfect.

However, I've noticed that it has a tendency to go blank (i.e. fail and stop working) when multiple colour spectrum triangles are in play and in particular when they are on top of each other.

I'd really like to see some additional objects to place into the machine.

One other problem I have is that the "perma-link" button doesn't seem to do anything. When I come back to the URL, my machine isn't there.



Permalinks are only for machines that have already been approved via the moderation queue as part of the shared public machine. Submitting a machine only submits it as a candidate for inclusion, it doesn't guarantee that your submission is the one picked for the slot.


Haha I've had the same problem with triangles, stopped using them because they always crash. Only when editing, not when viewing. Have a look at my repo if you want to search for any of your submissions to see if they ever got published. https://github.com/scpso/incrediblexkcd
