Link. Warning: lags browser.

One of my friends on Twitter (anyone remember Kasumi Astra?) pointed this out to me. Looks like an ordinary comic, but the bottom panel is draggable and, well, it is quite humongous. To the right you'll eventually hit a rendition of World 1-1 of Super Mario Brothers ^_^

Assuming I've interpreted the javascript source correctly (relevant portion below), the total size of the image is 79,872 by 165,888 (not sure if that's HxW or WxH).

var size=[14,48,25,33];
var tilesize=2048;
var map_size=[(size[1]+size[3])*tilesize,(size[0]+size[2])*tilesize];

I'll give it a spin later.

Cellar Dweller, next step would be to recreate the actual click-n-drag, no?

Last view: 1240 days 		Also for those who want to go to particular parts or want to save certain areas, the images are like this. Change the numbers in the image to go to different parts of the world. Change N to S to go down. Change W to E to go in the other direction.

I enjoyed this quite well. That bottomless pit goes for quite a ways and then it branches off several times more. ;)

I think it's amazing but.... I HATE clicking and dragging. D:

If it were "press arrow keys", fuck yeah. But MOVEMENT? Well IT JUST ISN'T WORTH IT.

I know it's not a very legitimate complaint but it is a little annoying. The comic's still pretty sweet though, I love all the little details to it. I got to the giant dubai structure on the right before saying "fuck that I don't wanna go back down" and then I went to it later and got to the Creeper before saying "Fuck that, I don't wanna go back up". If I could hold a button and go quicker this would not be an issue.

The Minecraft references were funny as well as the people saying, "Friend us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter!"

@Ailure had the whole thing loaded up in one shot and it killed his browser. Very cool image :) I didn't explore too much since I wasn't feeling well that day.

Yup, my whole computer turned sluggish as it was probably busy swapping or something. And since it was a 32 bit program it couldn't use more than 2 GB itself.

Now that it's been out for a few weeks, there's been some maps made. This one's nice cause you can zoom out so you move around faster :D.

Last view: 1240 days 		For some reason that map you shown, Marzen64, keeps glitching. It works fine sometimes and other times it keeps showing the same piece of area. Depends on how zoomed in I am at times.

Other than a few hiccups, it is pretty cool. :)

Makes me wonder how long it took to draw all that. Sure, most of it's just empty space, and it's only in black and white, but it's so huge!

Also, how the hell did his computer allow him to edit it without lagging like crazy?
