Argh, I was dragging like a madman and I accidentally clicked on a shortcut on my bookmark bar!


Edit: Did someone saw Becky?

Cave got too large and boring with not enough stuff in it, getting back out would be even more boring... Waiting for a complete image now, hurry up internet!

About 12% downloaded so far. The whole image is something like 160,000px wide.

WTF I stopped to go down the

Spoiler

mario pits

and I cannot find the f**king end.

HOW BIG IS IT.

Me too

After reaching the 3rd cave under the cave I just quit.

I could get all tiles for you people if you like, but someone will have to stitch them together.

Out of curiosity, how the heck are you downloading this thing? Couldn't figure out where it was loading from in the source code, granted I didn't look all that hard since I saw you were already on it, and so I didn't check out all the javascript coding.

Just change the numbers preceding n and w. You can also go s and e obviously.

It really is massive, and it's not a rectangular shape either.

I'm using Python to iterate between 1 and 50 on each axis (the highest number I've seen is 48) and download the tile if it exists. It's a really simple script, but it takes a while because you need to check for all 10000 possible tiles even though there might only be 2000 or so.

 

[Sober]

Wow, found those crazy huts underground, just followed the tunnels up and I end up in world 1-1. I started on the left side tunnel entrance too.

 

[Femmeworth]

Clever but I'm too impatient to keep clicking and dragging.

Badass, and I admire your judgement in checking every combination. What are you going to use to put them all together? I know when you're finished you said you're going to put the image on that zoom site, but can you arrange all the pieces there as well?

 

[LuCkymoON]

I dragged down like an idiot and there was nothing there

there is a lot down there lol

 

[Volimar]

If you have noscript, make sure to allow xkcd.com so you can see the effect.

[HolyCheck]

Hdmake. You can give it a single image or a bunch of tiles and it outputs a deep zoom image that you can load with Seadragon. It's really great =)

[jaxword]

It's a pity keyboard integration isn't there, it would make navigation easier.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

I think the pyramid in the first big hollow beneath the Mario pitfalls might be NERV HQ.

 

[Eidan]

I only stayed above ground. No way in hell I'm venturing into any caves. I'll just wait till the full image is ready.

This is so cool - any online demos of seadragon? I might use this for an idea pitch

Why is this cave so compelling.

Every time there's a funny little bump I am like HOLY SHIT A THING IS COMING

Now I'm waiting...

 

[Lissar]

Phew, I'm tired and I know I haven't seen most of it. I suppose I'll have to look at more of it tomorrow.

 

[strata8]

Now I'm waiting...

Starting the output now, not sure how long it'll take. I'll post in this thread when it's done.

 

[SamRambles]

I spend an inordinate amount of time on this, read the thread and realise I must have only scratched the surface.

Amazing.

 

[beje]

lol @ the lemonade stand

 

[Santerestil]

Someone 3 panel it.

 

[GeoGonzo]

That's a nice wonderful world you have there...

 

[SmokyDave]

Man, this is impressive stuff. Looking forward to seeing the composited image.

 

[Coppertracks]

Scrolled all the way right until I hit the balloon guy, and occasionally up at towers. Still missed loads of stuff by the looks of this thread. Amazing picture.

 

[SamRambles]

OK, so found a full image. Not great quality but does the trick.

This thing is BIG

Good grief, I got half way up the Skyscraper on the mid left before I decided to get back to work. This is HUGE.

Yep, you can even make out William and Kate being carried on thrones by tribesmen on island to the left.

 

[Ferga]

I dragged up immediately and saw one of those tower cranes holding another tower crane



I went above the skyscraper and haven't seen anything but white for a minute. I tried scrolling back down and I can't get back into the picture

 

[mclem]

He must have spent ages drawing this. I hope he puts up the whole picture as a single file at some point.

T-shirt!

for a whale

 

[Jamie OD]

Wow, that's impressive.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Haha

Poop deck.

People actually dislike XKCD? They must be a miserable sort.

I went through almost the whole thing in one sitting. Started left, went down the shaft, finished on the right and filled back in to the start. Only area I didn't see is the far left. Took 20 minutes or so, lol.

I thought it was well done. I did the whole thing, it was surprising at how big it ended up being.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

I found this on the xkcd forums

[Metroid Killer]

Oh wow. Both whale moments were the best to me.

 

[marrec]

This latest XKCD comic is such a drag.
