+ | == Explanation == | ||
+ | This comic is a take on how vast and rich the world is, and on the thrill of exploring it. The world can be described as sad, as well as it can be described as wonderful, even if this seems a bit contradictory, just because there are so many different things happening in it. | ||
− | + | [[Cueball]] comments about this, and the title text invites the reader to, with their mouse, click and drag the inside of the last panel, and by dragging and dragging, explore what is hidden outside that panel. The image displayed at first turns out to be part of a huge landscape, filled with big or small things, humorous details, people here and there, cave mazes, things floating in the air, jokes and references, unexpected things, relaxing views, etc. | |
− | + | The fact that we only see a small part of the landscape at once refers to the idea that we cannot in real life comprehend the whole world altogether, but only what is around us and/or in the range of our understanding at the time. The click-and-drag process, in which it is impossible to go as fast as we would want to, also draws a parallel with the fact that exploration is always done gradually, step by step, and trying something (i.e. here dragging in a certain direction) always has a cost. This click-and-drag exploration reproduces the thrill of discovering new horizons, getting lost sometimes, finding unexpected things, seeing beauty, humor, desolation or happiness here and there... which can easily captivate an xkcd reader for a looong time (and as such qualifies as [[356: Nerd Sniping|nerd sniping]]). | |
− | + | '''''Warning:''' there are cheating possibilities, people have implemented ways to explore that world more easily, but the best way to enjoy this comic is to play the game, explore the comic's world the way you're supposed to, get lost in the caves or in the sky, be startled by unexpected things or happy when finding some people after lengthy click-and-dragging through a repetitive landscape... So if you didn't do that already, '''reading any below will spoil you from truly enjoying the comic.''''' | |

+ | |||
+ | == Viewers == | ||
+ | Though you can download the full view, the easiest way to browse it is through a [[wikipedia:Zooming user interface|Zooming user interface]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * http://xkcd.com/1110/ (native zoom, click-and-drag) | ||
+ | * http://xkcd-map.rent-a-geek.de/ '''[recommended]''' (zoom controls, scroll-zoom, click-and-drag, hash permalinks, full-screen) | ||
+ | * http://clickanddrag.azurewebsites.net/ (zoom controls, scroll-zoom, click-and-drag) | ||
+ | * http://sumamimasen.com/xkcd/1110/ (native zoom, keyboard controls, Flash-only) | ||
+ | * http://xkcdmap.webege.com/ Google-maps-style navigation and zooming, with tiles with content highlighted in black or white, allows easy finding of interesting tiles with small things hidden in the ground and sky | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Trivia == | ||
+ | |||
+ | *The click-and-drag portion of this comic is divided up into 2592 sections of 2048x2048 pixels. | ||
+ | *There are 225 separate 2048x2048 PNG files (plus the PNG container with the first panels). The other 2337 sections are simply filled black (in the south) or white (in the north) with HTML. | ||
+ | *The populated area is 81 frames wide (33 West - 48 East) and 32 frames tall (13 North - 19 South) | ||
+ | *According to [[Randall]] in #xkcd on the night this was released, a full size image of this comic, leaving out the blanks would be 60 gigapixels, a true single rectangular image would be close to a terapixel. The online version is 1 gigapixel without the blanks and 10 gigapixel as rectangular image (2048x2048x225 = 943,718,400 and 2048x2048x2592 = 10,871,635,968). | ||
+ | *Based on the height of figures as well as the "two mile" figure given on the left-hand side, the scale should be approximately 32 pixels per 5 feet, making the entire map 25920 feet wide (4.9 miles or 7.9 kilometers) by 10240 feet tall (1.9 miles or 3.1 kilometers). If it were an overhead area, it would be about 9.5 square miles (6093 acres or 24.7 square km), roughly the size of Block Island, Rhode Island, USA. Just the POPULATED area (225 tiles with something drawn on them) would be 529 acres, or 0.826 square miles-- about the size of Princeton University. | ||
+ | *If the 2048x2048 PNGs were to be printed out as a single poster at 300 dpi, the poster would be 15.36 yards (14.05 meters) long and 6.07 yards (5.55 meters) tall. Most of the detail would be invisible, as these PNGs are optimized for ~72 dpi screens. | ||
+ | *There is supposedly one (dark dark) green pixel in {{1110|9|s|7|e}}. The remainder is all grayscale. | ||
