Pictures from a developer's life | martinvalasek.com. Yesterday I stumbled upon this collection on a Spanish blog and almost cried with laughter... So I translated it and posted here.

I played with it for something like 12 seconds, and then decided to create a map so I wouldn't miss anything. Oh, just like pokanalysis... This article is pretty accessible from a technical point of view, and I know a lot of other people did that as well, but I was willing to share the method I used anyway. Download the images First, we need to grab all the images to process them locally. We're going to use several scripts, so we need a place for some common code, let's say in a xkcdcommon.py script: This is a direct mapping of the code in 1110.js.
We now know the map has width=48+33=81 and height=14+25=39. Since there is no listing of the images available, we will have to brute-force the download (if someone has another trick I'm interested) . #! #! Make the small tiles #! #! . Sky Color.
