as a bookmarklet: javascript:var kn=document.createElement('script');kn.src='//raw.github.com/gist/3748621/1bbdaee115134d0106978e42a5423f7b3e5de5e3/nav.js'; kn.type='text/javascript';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(kn);

Thanks! I added a bookmarklet of the original code to the site- I know you're legit, but I'm always wary of encouraging people to load random external JS via a bookmarklet.

I will steal your XKCD cookie and order a thousand t-shirts :)

I'm holding out for a version that lets me use two-finger scrolling.

Three finger scrolling works on a mac (Lion). I think you can enable drag lock on snow leopard for the same effect. EDIT: The mouse does move off the view port during drag, so its probably not that much more efficient.

In Lion, I'm pretty sure this only works if you enable "Three Finger Drag" in the trackpad settings.

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.

I think he already has:) Look around you at all the people playing. Hint: the ones writing code are winning...

4 edges o.0 You mean to say that under the tunnels, that is under all of the black, there is more? And there is more stuff in the air too? Ima kill Randall Munroe >_<

the "total image" is 165888 by 79872, fwiw. http://edc.srvs.us/1110/ seems to have a pretty complete tiling

Astonishing.

Reminds me of Scott McCloud's infinite canvas idea: http://scottmccloud.com/4-inventions/canvas/index.html Impressive by the way!

And I thought it was going to be a short one. Got to get back to work. By the way, I play this game with Google Maps every day.

And have you already seen everything?

Not really. I will continue at home.

Look at the Trackpad page in System Preferences. There's a reason why it's called "Three finger drag" instead of "Three finger scroll". :)

I wrote some JS to add keyboard controls to the map, because clicking and dragging is for suckers. http://www.potch.me/blog/press-and-hold.html

Haha, I wrote some, too. I should have checked here before I bothered, I guess.

Ah well, it was a momentary amusement. :)
