I wrote some JS to add keyboard controls to the map, because clicking and dragging is for suckers. <a href="http://www.potch.me/blog/press-and-hold.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.potch.me/blog/press-and-hold.html</a>
Bwahaha, upper left corner (waaaay up). I'm working at a small startup. Our business model is "taking free drinks from industry events and reselling them".<p>Edit: Holy shit I had no idea how huge this was! I'd pay for a massive framed poster of this thing.
Don't use any of the spoilers, image maps or sites that stich it together, it is much more enjoyable when you discover the entire image through the viewport dimensions as originally intended.<p>It is also much more enjoyable when you don't know what to expect
Here's a torrent of all the images: <a href="https://ubuntuone.com/4VxOo5cnInZWQUEplIdb2c" rel="nofollow">https://ubuntuone.com/4VxOo5cnInZWQUEplIdb2c</a>
Simple way to share positions:<p>var p =$('.map').position();prompt("Have someone run this code to see this position","$('.map').css({'left':"+p['left']+", 'top':"+p['top']+"})");<p>This gives you a snippet you can send to someone else to run.<p>---------------------------------------<p>Also, don't want to drag? <a href="http://www.potch.me/blog/press-and-hold.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.potch.me/blog/press-and-hold.html</a>
Excellent! I feel like Randall is getting closer to producing an actual game with his worlds and characters. I look forward to what he has in store for us in the future.
Phew, found both the edges, traversed all of the tunnels. Finally I'm free!<p>Also, really impressed. The way the tunnels on the left side met up with the Mario tunnel was pretty cool.
The very last image to the right, "I wonder where i'll float next?" is a reference to Randall's first xkcd comic; <a href="http://xkcd.com/1/" rel="nofollow">http://xkcd.com/1/</a>
The mind boggles. How long must it have taken him to create this. It is HUGE. I have been scrolling round for about 20 minutes and still have not found an end to it.
I created a full high res PDF of the image (only 11MB), with readable text balloons. — <a href="http://s.rlink.co/JZ6G" rel="nofollow">http://s.rlink.co/JZ6G</a>
full screen (at least in chrome):<p><pre><code> javascript:$('#comic').removeAttr('style'); $('.map').css('z-index',1).css('background','#fff');$('body').css('overflow','hidden');</code></pre>
It's disappointing that it appears this won't make the front page. It appears the domain is on a blacklist.<p>Makes sense from a cheap humour perspective, but that's not what this one is about.
My attempt at hammering the xkcd servers -- also colours missing tiles correctly (black/white depending on south/north): <a href="http://explog.in/xkcd.html" rel="nofollow">http://explog.in/xkcd.html</a><p>[edit: basically lays everything out in a single huge page so that you can scroll instead of dragging]
my hacky way of killing Randall's server:<p><pre><code> curl --limit-rate 40K -O http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/\[0-100\]\{n,s\}\[0-100\]\{e,w\}.png
</code></pre>
Then to remove all the 404s:<p><pre><code> find . -type f -size 345c -exec rm -f {} \;
</code></pre>
Woo! No code.
I made a little grid with all the tiles on it (they are smaller than the original ones). I hope it makes the navigation easier...
Each tile is clickable (it redirects to the original picture)<p><a href="http://www.baffo.org/xkcd/" rel="nofollow">http://www.baffo.org/xkcd/</a>
I have made a very low-res polar coordinates version: <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/543600/1110polar.png" rel="nofollow">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/543600/1110polar.png</a><p>I will make a larger version later tonight.
Reminds me of Scott McCloud's infinite canvas idea:

Impressive by the way!
Here's my version of full map:

Click and Drag without the distraction.
put
javascript:$('img[title="Click and drag."]').hide();$('img[title="Click and drag."]').parent().css('overflow','visible');
in the url bar
whats up with the dinos?
