![]() If he instead spent an average of 10 minutes per frame, it would take ~37.5 hours, or almost an entire 40-hour work week.īasically I'm saying Randall Munroe is fucking insane. If Randall spent, on average, one hour drawing each frame, it would take him 9.375 days of constant, nonstop work to finish this. Note that the characters at the far left say they've been walking for 2 miles - they are 67584 pixels from the starting point, which translates to 3.072 km or ~1.9 miles, so this seems to indicate my rough estimates here are reasonably accurate. It would take an average human 1.67 hours to walk from one end of the image to the other. That means the total composite image is approximately 3.63 kilometers high and 7.54 kilometers wide. If you were to try and represent this as a single, uncompressed 32-bit 79872x165888 image file, it would take up 52.99 GB of space.Īssuming a human's average height is 1.8 meters, that would give this image a scale of about 1 meter per 22 pixels. Tiles are 2048x2048 png images with an average size of 24.53 KB. The images take up 5.52 MB of space and are named with a simple naming scheme "ydxd.png" where d represents a cardinal direction appropriate for the axis (n for north, s for south on the y axis and e for east, w for west on the x axis) along with the tile coordinate number for example, "1n1e.png". ![]() The collage is made up of 225 images 2 that stretch out over a total image area 79872 pixels high and 165888 pixels wide. In the interests of SCIENCE (and possibly accidentally DDoSing Randall's image server - sorry!), I created a static HTML file of the entire composite image. Today, xkcd featured a comic with a comically large image that is navigated by clicking and dragging.
