# CanvasPlanet

> CanvasPlanet is a free, persistent, collaborative pixel-art canvas layered over a map of the real world. Everyone paints on the same canvas, one pixel at a time, and the canvas has no scheduled resets.

CanvasPlanet is a browser-based creative game at https://canvasplanet.net/. An account is optional. Painting uses a charge bank that refills over time; charges cannot be bought, sold, or transferred. Pixels are shared, so anyone can repaint any unprotected location.
