Tiles are located here in a zip: https://up1.ca/#Gi51KPFyPRELe0T1D6q9Mw All I did was iterate over http://xkcd.com/1608/X:-Y+s.png from X=[916...1116] and Y=[916...1116].

Alright, the full png of the entire map is almost finished, I should have used white tiles as blank tiles but I guess I can fix that up in gimp, and I'm not sure how to account for the 1 pixel overlap with just imagemagick convert.

Just thought this was interesting, when you "complete" the game by dropping coins, the following line of javascript is run, which sends your result to the server (L is number of coins, z is seconds used):<br />
(new Image).src = "//xkcd.com/events.gif?coins=" + L + "&seconds=" + z;<br />
Don't be tricked by the .gif extension, it doesn't show an image when opened, and the server probably handles this request by logging it to somewhere. {{unsigned ip|141.101.80.87}}<br />

I was not able to get to some points because they were surrounded by text, people or other objects. Is that normal, or are there tricks to get to every coin without using cheats (console)?

:In some cases you can come in from the side as opposed to trying to come down through or up through something.

The list of "areas" in the map would be much easier to read, and much easier to correlate with the map, if the origin were set to the starting area (that is, if the coordinates of the starting area were set to x:0, y:0). What is the reason for the very large numbers? --[[User:BlueMoonlet|BlueMoonlet]] ([[User talk:BlueMoonlet|talk]]) 15:50, 25 November 2015 (UTC)<br />
: The large numbers are the actual ones used by the game code and displayed by the hacked-up "radar" so it was a natural choice to use them as they are. We could define some origin and count coordinates from it but we would have to agree on its position and then change the "radar" code and recalculate all coordinates written down already. -- [[Special:Contributions/162.158.90.224|162.158.90.224]] 08:53, 27 November 2015 (UTC)<br />
::Coordinates is not very helpful to most people. It should more be in relation to the objects you pass. Either you just look at one of the maps (and then past the pyramid or in the volcano makes sense) or else you actually try the real experience, and again after the ocean comes a pyramid makes more sense than coordinates.

Haven't read all the comments above so maybe someone has written about it? <br />
If you click up it seems to count how many times. So it will just show white and then when you release again, it will take longer to hit the ground the longer you have pushed up. Tried with 100 clicks (9-10 seconds) and 200 clicks (20 seconds).<br />
I got about 163 coins in about 15886 seconds. (4 hours and 24 minutes.) That was with breaks. It was written so shortly on the screen I did not manage to take it down for certain. But after that I read here about the 169 and found that there where at least three in the volcano I had not noticed at first. And it seems likely that there would be three more I have missed. But really fun to explore. I wrote a lot of the transcript along the way (not from the very start though) This I have now posted without any real order in the [[1608: Hoverboard/Transcript]] page.

Just added in the 'collision detection' section the text "On a slow connection, it's possible to move into an 'open' area and then the black image loads in and (probably permanently, without tricks) traps you immobile." To expand upon this, if this is a risk to anyone else (I'm reliant on mobile internet, being away from any comparable landline capability) then you need to look out for perfectly horizontal/vertical edges. For example, hovering up the side of the Washington monument and encountering (typically above the 'bricks' line) a completely flat top. Drifting onto that soon gets you embedded in the remaining Monument, somewhere well below the eventual tip. Alternately, drifting sideways over the landscape and discovering a perfectly vertical cliff downwards (just past the bowling pins is a prime location) tempts you to drift down it and then suddenly the solid land 'happens' around you, forcing a page-refresh and restart (though doubtless there's also various console tricks that could be used). The well, also 'opens out', but it's a lie. I've ended up trapped 'in white' below the now closed black blocks that surround the well bottom (and not found any way back up). But if there a 'texture' (like other cliffs) or 'slope' (like the real Monument edge) to the surface, you're probably Ok. It's a genuine surface or wall that you can generally navigate around without fear of being misled. (Or so is my experience.)

We definitely need a better presentation of interesting objects/locations and their coordinates. Now, we have quite comprehensive multi-level bullet list and a newly-started table. Neither is perfect. We need some form that will show clearly what is where and where it belongs.<br />
<br />
Issues to solve:<br />
* Many objects are large and a single coordinates pair simply don't describe them well. We need a clear presentation form that will allow putting both a single pair and several ones, e.g. top and bottom for thin vertical objects (e.g. poles, The Monument), four corners for objects occupying large swaths etc.<br />
* Grouping - we need to group objects that belong to an area, like all things within the Star Destroyer etc. Multilevel bullets are ok, but how to do that in a table?<br />
* Order - within groups and between them, we need some ordering that will organize the entries. For example left-to-right then top-to-bottom or something like that.<br />
* Coordinates system - the "native" game coordinates are large numbers, and negative values for the y coordinate to boot. Someone proposed setting a new origin and counting from there. I think it's a good idea, but will require a firm decision, rewrite of radar code and recalculating of all coordinates written down so far.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />

:If it weren't for so much effort put in already, I think that we ''could'' re-class features as follows:<br />
:* All coin locations, and/or links to the locations they are associated with (e.g. "in original game area" and "carried by a quadcopter drone"), if that's not considered 'unfair' to those wanting to actually play the game (without the self-discipline not to browse the list ;).<br />
:* Locations of all characters, certainly all stick-figures, but maybe also 'wildlife' (or automata) of notable types.<br />
:* All monologues/dialogues/labels (albeit that this is almost entirely a subset of the prior list).<br />
:* Other notable landscape (or structural) features that are more than mere 'flavour' (e.g. the T-shaped mushrooms/whatevers to the east, but not random ground-boulders).<br />
:* Notable move-through spots; inclusive of 'sink-into'able waters/magmas (waist-height, neck-height, fully-submerged?), even when not featuring further hidden routes, but excluding vegetation (ground-grasses/tree-trunks) that ''mostly'' are pass-throughable.<br />
: Some of these are themselves useful references to other items (e.g. "inside front of Blockade Runner" or "beneath eastern stretch of magma") and so can probably be sub-grouped as all items in a given structure ("coins within the initial play area", "characters/speech within the Star Destroyer") and some things do occupy a swathe (the 'play area', the Monument, the ships, the kites, with their strings; the hail of (regular) torpedoes). And I bet there's a whole lot of arguments about what level of detail we could go to... [[Special:Contributions/162.158.152.227|162.158.152.227]] 10:21, 27 November 2015 (UTC)<br />

::The full and complete [[1608: Hoverboard/Transcript]] that I have made uses some of the ideas, and groups the stage into sections. Not saying these should be used as is. But all in the image has been described and text transcribed in there. So it would be easy to cut and paste something from them. I have used jump height and fall time as well as time elapsed when moving and the height of the hoverboard Cueball to measure distances/dimensions. I would suggest making pictures from the maps of larger rooms or items. And then zoom in on interesting features. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 17:50, 16 December 2015 (UTC)<br />

Hi, but what you are saying is that some of the red text is self explanatory. However, some still needs background information. Also, like most comics, things can be read different ways so there can be alternate explanations. If you feel like you need to say something different from the explanation, just edit.

Just noticed that it now runs on my iPad, though it lags often and the controls are awful—even if I'm tilting in the same direction, Cueball moves randomly, and sometimes he just flies in one direction, and there's no way to get him to go up or turn around. Then he gets stuck on something and you have to refresh the page... Which is quite annoying when you're looking for a certain image to explain and you have to start over from the play area.

<br />
Here follows an extensive Latin discussion:<br />
<br />
The commentator attempts to explain the motto, "Cur ego committitur dictar latinae."<br />
<br />
There is repeated suggestion of 'now' or 'just now' somehow arising from the text. And the commentator makes a beginner's error by suggesting that iustus/justus could be used to mean just as in, just now. English has multiple uses of just - as an adverb speaking about time or exclusivity, and as an adjective talking about right and appropriate. For instance:<br />
<br />
Adverb time: "Well that just happened." synonyms: currently, now<br />
Adverb exclusive: "Just do it." synonyms: only, merely<br />
Adjective: "That was a just choice." synonyms: righteous, appropriate<br />
<br />
Iustus (also spelled justus) is a translation of the adjectival form of English just/righteous. So the exmaple the commentator gives:<br />
'Cur ego iustus committitur loquitur.'<br />
Would mean:<br />
'Why is the righteous I made to speak.'<br />
or, if the adjective is being used as a noun:<br />
'Why am I the righteous/just is made to speak.'<br />
<br />
Also, committitur and loquitur in the example are both third person singular, so neither could properly connect to 'ego' (English 'I'). To make sense in the expected way, we would need to put loquo- into the first person singular form at least.<br />
<br />
So if the commentator wants to insert the idea of 'just now' or 'currently,' I suggest they use an adverb:<br />
1 recens, 2 jam/iam, 3 nunc, 4 iamiamque/jamjamque<br />
1 recently, 2 now (inprecise), 3 now (this time), 4 now (at once, already, hurry it up man).<br />
<br />
On the proper translation:<br />
Dictus is a noun meaning word or speech, from the verb 'dico.' If you wanted to specifically imply that you were using audible words (rather than writing), you'd use the 'loquo-' base instead of 'dic-.' So dictus and dico (from dic-) mean 'words' and 'I say.'<br />
Dicto is a rarer verb meaning I recite, I dictate, I repeat, or something similar. See:<br />
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dicto#Latin<br />
The principal forms are dico, dictare, dictavi, dictatum. So we talking about a third declension verb, and the base is dicta-. Dictar would be the first person present passive imperfect. Typically that form would mean something like:<br />
'I am being recited.'<br />
But since a person (as a physical object) can't be spoken or recited, the meaning is probably:<br />
'I am being caused/made/forced to recite.'<br />
The exact nature of 'caused/made/forced' is described by the word, 'committitur.' The committ- base means commit, begin, or make happen. Committitur is the 3rd person (he/she/it) present passive indicative from:<br />
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/committitur<br />
Meaning:<br />
he/she/it is made/forced to. (Has become committed.)<br />
So:<br />
'Cur ego committitur dictar latinae'<br />
means:<br />
'Why am I being made/forced to recite/dictate in Latin.'<br />
<br />
Also, it should be noted that while the Greeks invented many of the types of punctuation we use today, Romans usually only used periods. (And often Romans would use no punctuation at all. Sometimes they even left out the spaces between words.) Point being, the question mark; like the comma, colon, and semicolon; wasn't commonly used until after the introduction of the printing press. So the quote probably shouldn't end with one.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
With the ongoing development of {{w|3D Printers|3D printing}} technology, the cost of low end 3D printers continues to reduce steadily, and the complexity of modelling and producing components is becoming easier. These factors, among others, means that 3D printers are beginning to be found in homes, rather than exclusively in businesses. [[Ponytail]] & [[Cueball]] are discussing the improvements and expect widespread deployment soon.<br />
<br />
Spam emails promoting penis-enlargement products are very common, and often show images of unnaturally large penises to advertise how effective they are. The adverts prevalence and aggressive marketing techniques have made them a well known staple of email inboxes, though the improvement of spam filters has increasingly banished them to the spam folder.<br />
<br />
Cueball and Ponytail predict that the spam producers will quickly jump on the opportunity presented by the widespread prevalence of 3D printers, and start advertising their wares with 3D printed phalluses. Usually someone would have to proactively choose to print out a spam email, but it wouldn't be difficult to imagine a scenario where the email contains malicious code which automatically prints them a huge phallus.<br />
<br />
In the title text, Better Homes and Gardens is an American magazine that, as the name suggests, shows you how to make your home and garden better often by reusing common household items in new and innovative ways. {{w|Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene}} (or ABS) is a light-weight and moldable plastic which makes it perfect for 3D printers.<br />
<br />

I was under the impression that 'millenials' were those born in the 90s, in between gen y and gen z. I think there is a 'slight' trend that my generation has trouble 'growing up' even as adults. Many friends, if they haven't had kids they might still be living at home. Some even have kids and are still living with their parents. Myself, I don't see why a family structure couldn't work that way and still be healthy, I think the 'issue' comes from the older generations trying to keep the societal norms steady, and in the 1950s, when a boy turned 18 he became a 'man' and was promptly kicked out of the house, like a bird from a nest, or something like that...

<br />
==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|Created by a MILLENIAL. Please mention here why this explanation isn't complete. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}<br />
<br />
According to [[1962: Generations|the definitive chronology of generations]], millenials are born between 1982 and 1999. Those born in 1982 reached adulthood (18 years) in 2000. As of writing of this comic (mid 2019), this is about 20 years ago, however, the definition of millennial has expanded, and includes all of what used to be considered Gen Y, and some of what used to be considered Gen X, and this definition creep is expected to continue to eventually include everyone. The comic fails to address the definition creep of the word. <br />
<br />
In this strip, [[White Hat]] expresses a sentiment of prejudice against millennials, claiming they aren’t prepared for “the real world.” This is a sentiment that sometimes can be found among those of older generations.<br />
However, [[Cueball]] refutes this by saying that many millennials have been adults for almost 20 years, and those that had kids early on are taking them to college. This is due to another common misunderstanding, where the definition of “millennial” has changed so much, and expanded so often, that nobody really knows what it means anymore.<br />
<br />
[[White Hat]] refuses to accept this, saying millennials ''are'' the college kids, to which [[Cueball]] says that maybe White Hat is the one not growing up and accepting that millennials are, in fact, adults. The title text builds on this, complaining that [[Randall]] has been having these discussions for over a decade.<br />

==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|Created by a MILLENIAL. Please mention here why this explanation isn't complete. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}<br />
<br />
According to [[1962: Generations|the definitive chronology of generations]], millenials are born between 1982 and 1999. Those born in 1982 reached adulthood (18 years) in 2000. As of writing of this comic (mid 2019), this is about 20 years ago, however, the definition of millennial has expanded, and includes all of what used to be considered Gen Y, and some of what used to be considered Gen X, and this definition creep is expected to continue to eventually include everyone. The comic fails to address the definition creep of the word. <br />
<br />
In this strip, [[White Hat]] expresses a sentiment of prejudice against millennials, claiming they aren’t prepared for “the real world.” This is a sentiment that sometimes can be found among those of older generations.<br />
However, [[Cueball]] refutes this by saying that many millennials have been adults for almost 20 years, and those that had kids early on are taking them to college. This is due to another common misunderstanding, where the “millennial” has changed so much, and expanded so often, that nobody really knows what it means anymore.<br />
<br />
[[White Hat]] refuses to accept this, saying millennials ''are'' the college kids, to which [[Cueball]] says that maybe White Hat is the one not growing up and accepting that millennials are, in fact, adults. The title text builds on this, complaining that [[Randall]] has been having these discussions for over a decade.<br />

==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|Created by a REALLY REALLY BIG BLACK HOLE. Please mention here why this explanation isn't complete. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}<br />
This comic shows the picture of the black hole M87 by the Event Horizon Telescope that was published on the same day as this comic. Overlaid on the picture is a scale image of the Solar System, showing the Sun, Pluto (the most well-known {{w|dwarf planet}}), and Voyager 1, a deep-space probe and the farthest from Earth.<br />
<br />
The point of the comic seems to be to indicate the hugeness of M87 and the awe-inspiring thing that space is.<br />
<br />
The Event Horizon Telescope was also referenced just [[2133|two comics prior]].<br />

<br />
==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|Created by 😇. Needs more elaboration on font influencing emoji..}}<br />
<br />
This is the ninth [[:Category:April fools' comics|April fools' comic]] released by [[Randall]]. The previous fools comic was [[1975: Right Click]] from Sunday April 1, 2018. <br />
<br />
In this interactive comic, which began at noon ET (16:00 UTC) on April 1, 2019, users are shown two emoji, and vote for their favorite before the time runs out. 512 different emojis are paired against each other in a cup system, with only one winner. See more below under [[#How it works|How it works]].<br />
<br />
Brackets, like the one in this comic - for finding the best emoji, is a recurring theme in xkcd. It is also relevant for this time of year, and two years ago in 2017 (the one year since these April Fools' Day comic became a thing in 2011 where there where no such comic), the first comic in April, [[1819: Sweet 16]] from April 3rd was a bracket, referencing the {{w|March Madness}}. The {{w|2019 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament|2019 version}} of the {{w|National Collegiate Athletic Association}} {{w|College basketball}} national champion began March 19th and ends April 8th 2019. So this comic could also be said to reference this, although it is not so explicit here.<br />
<br />
The matches in that bracket is as silly as the ones here matching emojis, and earlier Randall has made another large and "silly" bracket in [[1529: Bracket]] (which someone then actually made into an online voting system, just like in this comic.<br />
<br />
The title is a reference to the movie ''{{w|Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome}},'' which had the tagline: "Two men enter. One man leaves." The "Thunderdome" in the film is a gladiatorial arena where conflicts are resolved by a duel to the death.<br />
<br />
As of very recently, the Milky Way emoji (🌌) has won.<br />
<br />
==How it works==<br />
In the first round, the voting period for each bout lasted 37.5 seconds. The voting period for each bout doubled for the second, third, and fourth rounds. The voting period for each bout for the fifth round through the end was 26 minutes. The entire bracket took 24 hours 6 minutes. <br />
<br />
Remaining time of a given bout was shown on a timer beneath the voting buttons. If the time remaining was one minute or greater, the time was shown rounded to the nearest minute (e.g., "Remaining Time: 26 minutes"); thus the minute would change on the half minute (e.g., "2 minutes" changed to "1 minute" at 1 minute 30 seconds). If the time remaining was less than a minute, the time was shown in seconds (e.g., "59 seconds"). When there were two (sometimes three) seconds remaining, the timer would display "Time's Up!" through the end of the bout and for a [[1070: Words for Small Sets|couple]] of seconds after the end of the bout while the images for the next bout were loading. Then the next bout would appear and the results of the previous bout would be added to the list of past bouts, with the most recent bout at the top.<br />
<br />
Commentary was displayed above the images for each bout, and changed occasionally through the bout. In the first round, the commentary was made up of some stock phrases with a few custom phrases mixed in. Later commentary was tailored to suit each match-up and provided live updates on how each bout was progressing. A final comment was included in the list of past bouts.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The competing candidates are periodically overlaid with heart emojis that float up from the vote button oscillating in a triangle wave pattern before disappearing above the candidate. Below, the results of past bouts are shown with the "loser" displayed in greyscale. Supposedly, the emoji will be eliminated one-by-one until there are a final two emoji facing off, with the one most voted-for being crowned the best emoji. This is likely a parody of March Madness.<br />
<br />
The commentary appears to suggest that there's some real-time feedback from the results of the competition, for instance "It seems like our friends over Australia is joining the fun" appeared in the commentary. So does "We are getting a lot of questions on this today. This is live commentary, folks." https://i.imgur.com/8kPwjou.png, directly declaring that the commentary is live. Of course this could still have been written before, as it is an April Fools' Day comic.<br />
<br />
Note that the schedule might show different emoji pictures than the main voting screen, presumably because of fonts. The image is pre-rendered.<br />
<br />
The competing candidates are chosen in order of unicode value at first, resulting in similar emojis being compared. Examples include:<br />
<br />
😜 squaring off against 😛 - two emoji playfully sticking their tongues out<br />
<br />
🤩 squaring off against 😍 - two smiling emojis with symbols for eyes<br />
<br />
😂 squaring off with 🤣 - two emojis that are crying in laughter/joy.<br />
<br />
The title text consists of the wrestlers emoji (🤼) eight times over. If it appears to be nonsense, then your browser may not be parsing the title text correctly. So this represents the round of 8, where the eight winners then can turn to the winner next to them and continue the quarterfinals, etc.<br />
<br />
It appears the eggplant emoji (🍆) and the peach emoji (🍑) have been left out of the bracket. This may be a disappointment to some,but is for the reason that they are used to represent the male and female sex organs respectively. Not that Randall has had any issue mentioning these, but he may not wish to have this influence the contest. <br />
<br />
A robot face announcer-emoji (🤖) and a link to the full bracket was added at 38 minutes in. <br />
https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket.png shows 512 emojis in a single-elimination tournament.<br />
https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket_256.png was added later and shows the 256 emojis that competed on the second round.<br />
https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket_round_3.png was added for the third round. https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket_round_4.png was added for the fourth round. The round 3 bracket was later updated with results during the Volcano vs Owl fight. There was an error where the flying saucer had beaten the stars, which was not the case.<br />
A new bracket image was created for the Round of 32 which seems to be updated with new results as they come in. https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket_round_of_32.png<br />
<br />
It is not clear how the winner is decided when both emoji tie for first. This has happened once in 🧁 vs. 🎂 with 3658 points each, where 🎂 was declared winner.<br />

<br />
==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|Created by 😇. Needs more elaboration on font influencing emoji..}}<br />
<br />
This is the ninth [[:Category:April fools' comics|April fools' comic]] released by [[Randall]]. The previous fools comic was [[1975: Right Click]] from Sunday April 1, 2018. <br />
<br />
In this interactive comic, which began at noon ET (16:00 UTC) on April 1, 2019, users are shown two emoji, and vote for their favorite before the time runs out. 512 different emojis are paired against each other in a cup system, with only one winner. See more below under [[#How it works|How it works]].<br />
<br />
Brackets, like the one in this comic - for finding the best emoji, is a recurring theme in xkcd. It is also relevant for this time of year, and two years ago in 2017 (the one year since these April Fools' Day comic became a thing in 2011 where there where no such comic), the first comic in April, [[1819: Sweet 16]] from April 3rd was a bracket, referencing the {{w|March Madness}}. The {{w|2019 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament|2019 version}} of the {{w|National Collegiate Athletic Association}} {{w|College basketball}} national champion began March 19th and ends April 8th 2019. So this comic could also be said to reference this, although it is not so explicit here.<br />
<br />
The matches in that bracket is as silly as the ones here matching emojis, and earlier Randall has made another large and "silly" bracket in [[1529: Bracket]] (which someone then actually made into an online voting system, just like in this comic.<br />
<br />
The title is a reference to the movie ''{{w|Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome}},'' which had the tagline: "Two men enter. One man leaves." The "Thunderdome" in the film is a gladiatorial arena where conflicts are resolved by a duel to the death.<br />
<br />
As of very recently, the Milky Way emoji (🌌) has won.<br />
<br />
==How it works==<br />
In the first round, the voting period for each bout lasted 37.5 seconds. The voting period for each bout doubled for the second, third, and fourth rounds. The voting period for each bout for the fifth round through the end was 26 minutes. The entire bracket took 24 hours 6 minutes. <br />
<br />
Remaining time of a given bout was shown on a timer beneath the voting buttons. If the time remaining was one minute or greater, the time was shown rounded to the nearest minute (e.g., "Remaining Time: 26 minutes"); thus the minute would change on the half minute (e.g., "2 minutes" changed to "1 minute" at 1 minute 30 seconds). If the time remaining was less than a minute, the time was shown in seconds (e.g., "60 seconds"). When there were two (sometimes three) seconds remaining, the timer would display "Time's Up!" through the end of the bout and for a [[1070: Words for Small Sets|couple]] of seconds after the end of the bout while the images for the next bout were loading. Then the next bout would appear and the results of the previous bout would be added to the list of past bouts, with the most recent bout at the top.<br />
<br />
Commentary was displayed above the images for each bout, and changed occasionally through the bout. In the first round, the commentary was made up of some stock phrases with a few custom phrases mixed in. Later commentary was tailored to suit each match-up and provided live updates on how each bout was progressing. A final comment was included in the list of past bouts.<br />
<br />

|}<br />
<br />
The competing candidates are periodically overlaid with heart emojis that float up from the vote button oscillating in a triangle wave pattern before disappearing above the candidate. Below, the results of past bouts are shown with the "loser" displayed in greyscale. Supposedly, the emoji will be eliminated one-by-one until there are a final two emoji facing off, with the one most voted-for being crowned the best emoji. This is likely a parody of March Madness.<br />
<br />
The commentary appears to suggest that there's some real-time feedback from the results of the competition, for instance "It seems like our friends over Australia is joining the fun" appeared in the commentary. So does "We are getting a lot of questions on this today. This is live commentary, folks." https://i.imgur.com/8kPwjou.png, directly declaring that the commentary is live. Of course this could still have been written before, as it is an April Fools' Day comic.<br />
<br />
Note that the schedule might show different emoji pictures than the main voting screen, presumably because of fonts. The image is pre-rendered.<br />
<br />
The competing candidates are chosen in order of unicode value at first, resulting in similar emojis being compared. Examples include:<br />
<br />
😜 squaring off against 😛 - two emoji playfully sticking their tongues out<br />
<br />
🤩 squaring off against 😍 - two smiling emojis with symbols for eyes<br />
<br />
😂 squaring off with 🤣 - two emojis that are crying in laughter/joy.<br />
<br />
The title text consists of the wrestlers emoji (🤼) eight times over. If it appears to be nonsense, then your browser may not be parsing the title text correctly. So this represents the round of 8, where the eight winners then can turn to the winner next to them and continue the quarterfinals, etc.<br />
<br />
It appears the eggplant emoji (🍆) and the peach emoji (🍑) have been left out of the bracket. This may be a disappointment to some,but is for the reason that they are used to represent the male and female sex organs respectively. Not that Randall has had any issue mentioning these, but he may not wish to have this influence the contest. <br />
<br />
A robot face announcer-emoji (🤖) and a link to the full bracket was added at 38 minutes in. <br />
https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket.png shows 512 emojis in a single-elimination tournament.<br />
https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket_256.png was added later and shows the 256 emojis that competed on the second round.<br />
https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket_round_3.png was added for the third round. https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket_round_4.png was added for the fourth round. The round 3 bracket was later updated with results during the Volcano vs Owl fight. There was an error where the flying saucer had beaten the stars, which was not the case.<br />
A new bracket image was created for the Round of 32 which seems to be updated with new results as they come in. https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket_round_of_32.png<br />
<br />
It is not clear how the winner is decided when both emoji tie for first. This has happened once in 🧁 vs. 🎂 with 3658 points each, where 🎂 was declared winner.<br />

:[A tournament bracket tree is shown with eight participants each on the left and right side, for a total of sixteen, all of which are the 😰 emoji (a face with eyebrows, one teardrop and a blue forehead). From both sides towards the middle the brackets reduce to eight, then four, two, and one line where the latter join to a rectangle in the middle.]<br />

==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|Created by 😇. Needs more elaboration on font influencing emoji..}}<br />
<br />
This is the ninth [[:Category:April fools' comics|April fools' comic]] released by [[Randall]]. The previous fools comic was [[1975: Right Click]] from Sunday April 1, 2018. <br />
<br />
The title is a reference to the movie ''{{w|Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome}},'' which had the tagline: "Two men enter. One man leaves." The "Thunderdome" in the film is a gladiatorial arena where conflicts are resolved by a duel to the death.<br />
<br />
In the interactive comic, which began at noon ET (16:00 UTC) on April 1, 2019, users are shown two emoji, and vote for their favorite. In the first round, the voting period for each bout lasted 37.5 seconds. The voting period for each bout doubled for the second, third, and fourth rounds. The voting period for each bout for the fifth round through the end was 26 minutes. The entire bracket is expected to take 24 hours 6 minutes.<br />

The competing candidates are periodically overlaid with heart emojis that float up from the vote button oscillating in a sinusoidal pattern before disappearing above the candidate, and may represent real-time votes for each emoji. Below, the results of past bouts are shown with the "loser" displayed in greyscale. Supposedly, the emoji will be eliminated one-by-one until there are a final two emoji facing off, with the one most voted-for being crowned the best emoji. This is likely a parody of March Madness.<br />

I've checked the network tab and console - nothing really seems to happen when you vote, which may be something we want to put on the explanation tomorrow - Myxoh<br />
<br />
I suspect the real april fools joke is going to come on Wednesday when xkdc posts an app showing us our psychological profiles that they are now selling to marketing companies after data-mining our emotional preferences to marketing firms - Nosajimiki<br />
<br />
@Nosajimiki: psychological profiles of xkcd fans. That might be some interesting marketing. - 5Cincinatus<br />
<br />
@Myxoh: I came here to see if anyone else had noticed this! But, I do also see a websocket connection to emojidome.xkcd.com, I bet it's counting votes that way.<br />
<br />
There is a websocket connection. A message is sent every time you vote. It looks like there are also status update messages every second (saying which emoji currently has exactly how many votes, i suspect this changes the amount of hearts that show up), and "bracket start" messages every so often. The bracket start message seems to contain hundreds of upcoming emoji pairs. Edit: a bracket start is sent at the start of every match (so every ~30 seconds). It also contains logs of which messages to show for previous matches, and which emoji are currently battling.[[Special:Contributions/172.69.138.10|172.69.138.10]] 16:30, 1 April 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
There seems to be nothing stopping me from clicking multiple times. Do you think it actually counts it all those times? Can I click-spam to say "this is much better"? [[User:Fabian42|Fabian42]] ([[User talk:Fabian42|talk]]) 16:48, 1 April 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Well this is fun. Look like there are 512 symbols, meaning 256 first-round contests. The first round would take (at 38 seconds / round) ~2.7 hours. The remaining rounds, from an estimate of geometric progression, would just under double this, meaning this comic will run for ~ 5 hours until we have our winner... ~alexandicity [[Special:Contributions/172.69.226.177|172.69.226.177]] 16:51, 1 April 2019 (UTC)<br />

Did he just add a scroll bar to the previous matches? I didn't notice it earlier [[Special:Contributions/162.158.255.148|162.158.255.148]] 18:17, 1 April 2019 (UTC)<br />
:Nope, you were able to scroll before, too. At least about 2 hours ago. [[User:Fabian42|Fabian42]] ([[User talk:Fabian42|talk]]) 18:20, 1 April 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
While some of the recaps of past battles are generic (taco vs sandwich: "One for the history books"), many seem to be specifically written for the battle (light bulb vs candle: "Some would argue that this one was settled in the 1800s"). I wonder if/how much this will continue into round 2.</div>172.69.170.88https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=2131:_Emojidome&diff=1718772131: Emojidome2019-04-01T17:45:00Z<p>172.69.170.88: comma pair</p>

This is an interactive [[:Category:April fools' comics|April fools' comic]] that began at noon ET (16:00 UTC) on April 1, 2019, in which users are shown two emoji roughly every 38 seconds, and vote for their favorite. The competing candidates are periodically overlaid with heart emojis that up float from the vote button oscillating in a sinusoidal pattern before disappearing above the candidate, and may represent real-time votes for each emoji. Supposedly, the emoji will be eliminated one-by-one until there are a final two emoji facing off, with the one most voted-for being crowned the best emoji. This is likely a parody of March Madness.<br />
<br />
As of 17:30 UTC, we are still in the first round of voting brackets, according to the match-up schedule in the link. At the current rate, the entire tournament will take just under five and a half hours.<br />
<br />
Note that the schedule might show different emoji pictures then the main voting screen, presumably because of fonts. The image is pre-rendered.<br />
<br />
The competing candidates are chosen in order of unicode value at first, resulting in similar emojis being compared. Examples include:<br />

{{incomplete|Created by 😇. Needs more elaboration on font influencing emoji..}}<br />
<br />
This is an interactive [[:Category:April fools' comics|April fools' comic]] that began at noon ET (16:00 UTC) on April 1, 2019 in which users are shown two emoji roughly every 38 seconds, and vote for their favorite. The competing candidates are periodically overlaid with heart emojis that up float from the vote button oscillating in a sinusoidal pattern before disappearing above the candidate, and may represent real-time votes for each emoji. Supposedly, the emoji will be eliminated one-by-one until there are a final two emoji facing off, with the one most voted-for being crowned the best emoji. This is likely a parody of March Madness.<br />
<br />
As of 17:30 UTC, we are still in the first round of voting brackets, according to the match-up schedule in the link. At the current rate, the entire tournament will take just under five and a half hours.<br />
<br />
Note that the schedule might show different emoji pictures then the main voting screen, presumably because of fonts. The image is pre-rendered.<br />
<br />
The competing candidates are chosen in order of unicode value at first, resulting in similar emojis being compared. Examples include:<br />
<br />
😜 squaring off against 😛 - two emoji playfully sticking their tongues out<br />
<br />
🤩 squaring off against 😍 - two smiling emojis with symbols for eyes<br />
<br />
😂 squaring off with 🤣 - two emojis that are crying in laughter/joy.<br />
<br />
The title text may appear to be nonsense. If so, your browser may not be parsing the title text correctly. It consists of the wrestlers emoji (🤼) eight times over.<br />
<br />
A robot face announcer-emoji (🤖) and a link to the full bracket was added at 38 minutes in. https://www.xkcd.com/2131/emojidome_bracket.png shows 512 emojis in a single-elimination tournament.<br />

:I found a forum entry (http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=11168) that refers to the Wesnoth cuttlefish in May 2006 (more than two years before this comic came out) so I have edited the explanation accordingly.

While the evolution of cuttlefish attacking with electricity is probably what Randall meant, I am an avid fan of Dungeons and Dragons and I'd like to think that this is the beginning stages of what is known as an illithid. Cueball and Megan aren't killed by electricity but by the psionic abilities of the newly created illithids. - vegeto18 2014-02-18 03:14 PM<br />

:You are correct, the movie does not follow the plot of the book, as that would be impossible. The book is a collection of short stories about robots, some positive and some negative. As such, saying that the film doesn't follow the novel is unfair.

The cuttlefish and their method of killing the physicists resemble the Ood from Doctor Who, introduced in the 2006 episode "The Impossible Planet", in which the Ood became possessed by the Beast and began killing off scientists on the colony. The Ood were revisited in early 2008 in " Planet of the Ood", where they electrocuted the individuals who had enslaved them.

| image = lightning_distance.png<br />
| titletext = The index of radio refraction does have a lot of variation, which might throw off your calculations, so you can also look at the difference in brightness between the visible flash and more-attenuated UV and x-rays.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
The usual trick for determining the distance to a {{w|lightning}} flash is to count the seconds from when you see the flash until when you hear {{w|thunder}}, and divide by five to get miles (or three to get kilometers). This works because the {{w|speed of light|transmission of light}} is essentially instantaneous over the relevant distances, while the {{w|speed of sound}} is 331.2 m/s (1,087 ft/s, 1,192 km/h, or 741 mph, varying a bit based on temperature), or about 1/5 mile per second (1/3 kilometer per second).<br />
<br />
This comic subverts the usual trick by having Megan describe a highly impractical alternative method. Megan's method is based on the fact that the speed of electromagnetic radiation, which includes light and radio waves, is not truly fixed and varies by wavelength in a refractive medium (consider the classic case of visible light in a prism). The electromagnetic radiation emitted by lightning on Earth also has to travel through air, which changes its speed in a fashion which depends on its frequency.<br />
<br />
Lightning is most visibly observable in the near-infrared visible spectrum around a wavelength of [https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2001/ast05dec_1 777 nm]. The {{w|refractive index}} (n) of air at 15˚C for a wavelength of 777 nm is [https://refractiveindex.info/?shelf=other&book=air&page=Ciddor 1.0002752], which equates to a speed of light of 299,709,978 m/s given the relation n=c/v, where c=speed of light in a vacuum and v=the velocity of light in the medium.<br />
<br />
Terrestrial lightning generates very-low-frequency radio waves ranging in frequency from 1 kHz to 30 kHz known as {{w|Whistler (radio)|whistlers}} from bouncing off the ionosphere, and wider-band emissions known as {{w|Radio atmospheric|sferics}}. Much of this would exist in the {{w|very low frequency}} category of radio waves, for which literature values of refractive index is harder to determine. Using the formula given in [https://www.fig.net/resources/proceedings/fig_proceedings/fig_2002/Js28/JS28_rueger.pdf this paper], the refractive index for radio waves in similar conditions is 1.000315, which equates to a speed of light of 299698.0 km/s (or 186223.7 miles/s). This means that to get the distance in kilometers, the time difference between flash and radio burst should instead be multiplied by 13.6 billion (or 8.45 billion for miles).<br />
<br />
Using a setup similar to that used for [https://hackaday.com/2015/06/05/building-your-own-sdr-based-passive-radar-on-a-shoestring/ passive radar], it would theoretically be possible to use this effect to determine the distance to a source of extremely short bursts of visible light and radio waves, although one might have to compensate for the tiny effect time with tricks involving phase detection or receiver harmonics. Large inaccuracies may propagate from the inconsistency of air pressure, temperature, electron density, humidity in the atmosphere, even local temperature of the receiver, which may need to be taken into account.<br />
<br />
The joke is that it is impractical for people who haven't spent time with radio engineering, because they haven't heard of measuring such small time intervals (on the scale of 0.1 nanoseconds per kilometer or mile) and because they don't know how to detect radiation outside the visible spectrum, which can be done with a $20 radio dongle. An upconverter may be needed to measure the low-frequency details, and possibly [http://opensourceradiotelescopes.org/open-source-radio-telescopes-diy-projects/ building one's own loop antenna] to pick them up in the first place. It would be difficult to use such a "rule of thumb" for somebody not already exposed to either the amateur software-defined-radio scene or professional hardware.<br />
<br />
Although {{w|Lightning|lightning lasts about 60 to 70 microseconds}}, during which time the signals we receive would rise and fall somewhat erratically, a software-defined radio can sample the phase and strength of the signal in detail during this time and provide a record of it for comparison with a recording at a different frequency. A more expensive radio would make life easier, as a sampling rate of at least a few GHz would allow for the time discrepancy to be measured directly using the onset of the signal, rather than possibly inferred from phase differences at different frequencies.<br />
<br />
For the purpose of the joke, the "5 billion" value used in the comic is a fair estimate which also references the original rule of 5 seconds per mile nicely, though the result can have a huge margin of error depending on actual conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.), as the title text suggests ("the index of radio refraction does have a lot of variation").<br />
<br />
The title text suggests another method of calculating the distance to lightning. Since the absorption of light is also different in different wavelengths, it would be possible to calculate the difference by comparing the brightness instead of relative delay. This would, however, require the knowledge of the emission spectrum of lightning and attenuation ratios of different wavelengths (which would both vary across conditions).<br />

''{{w|Super Smash Brothers}}'' (titled as ''Super Smash Bros.'') is a crossover fighting game series published by Nintendo, primarily featuring Nintendo characters. As of publish date, there are 77 playable characters across the 5 games in the series. Starting with the third game, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', characters from third-party franchises (non-Nintendo) have been made available.<br />
<br />
Fans have suggested new characters to add, and few of these suggestions have been implemented. The comic lists 16 "characters" that Randall wishes were made available in ''Super Smash Bros.'', ranging from plausible playable characters, to the absurd.<br />
<br />
; Mario / Luigi hybrid<br />
: {{w|Mario}} and {{w|Luigi}} are characters in the {{w|Super Mario}} series, one of Nintendo's flagship franchises. They are both playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. A hybrid of these two characters would be quite interesting, though one could argue that {{w|Dr. Mario}} is a hybrid of these two in terms of moveset.<br />
<br />
; The SkiFree monster<br />
: {{w|SkiFree}} is a computer game for Windows released in 1991. The player controls a skier trying to avoid obstacles. After the end of a full run, a monster (possibly the Abominable Snowman) appears, and tries to catch the player. The SkiFree monster was a subject of the [[667: SkiFree]] comic.<br />
<br />
; Siri<br />
: {{w|Siri}} is the name given to Apple's personal virtual assistant for iOS, macOS, and its other operating systems. It is unclear how Siri would be a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros.''<br />
<br />
; Ellie from ''Up''<br />
: Ellie is one of the characters in ''{{w|Up (2009 film)|Up}}'', a 2009 Pixar film. In the beginning of the film, Ellie passes away, leaving her husband Carl alone, and leading him to start his adventure in Paradise Falls.<br />
<br />
; Zordon<br />
: {{w|Zordon}} is a fictional character from the ''Power Rangers'' franchise who serves as the Rangers' mentor.<br />
<br />
; Clippy<br />
: Clippit, commonly nicknamed {{w|Clippy}}, was one of the Office Assistants for Microsoft Office (versions 1997 to 2003). It was an intelligent user interface that assisted users. Clippy (and the other Office Assistants) was negatively received by users, and was eventually removed in Office 2007.<br />
<br />
; The Sarlaac<br />
: The {{w|Sarlaac}} is an alien monster that lived in {{w|Tatooine}} in the ''{{w|Star Wars}}'' universe. It is most prominently shown in the film ''{{w|Return of the Jedi}}'', when the main heroes are sentenced to death by being dropped into the Sarlaac's mouth. Notably, the Sarlaac is a large, stationary creature embedded in the ground (essentially, a pit).<br />
<br />
; InstallShield Wizard<br />
: A ''wizard'' is a type of UI that simplifies configuration of an app or process by guiding the user through a number of screens in sequence. A user makes one decision on each screen, and the overall process puts less cognitive load on the user.<br />
: {{w|InstallShield}} is a proprietary software tool for creating installer applications (or software packages) for Microsoft Windows. When the created package is being installed, the installer application can be shown in form of a 'standard Windows Wizard' dialog. Depending on the creativity of the user creating the package, the Wizard can display images while different stages of the installer are being executed. <br />
: There are known instances of The InstallShield Wizard showing a wizard-like character images. Also, the standard wording of the installer text shown to the user ('software-to-be-installed is preparing the InstallShield Wizard, which will guide you through the program setup process') suggests that the Wizard is a 'real character'.<br />
<br />
; Mr. Clean<br />
: {{w|Mr. Clean}} is a brand and mascot for Proctor & Gamble used for all-purpose cleaners and melamine foam cleaners.<br />
<br />
; Comet Cursor<br />
: {{w|Comet Cursor}} was Windows software that allowed users or websites to customise the mouse cursor. It was often installed with mimimal user interaction and was accused of tracking users and being “spyware”.<br />
<br />
; Beto O'Rourke<br />
: {{w|Beto O'Rourke}} is an American politician and businessman serving as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 16th congressional district since 2013. He was the nominee of the Democratic Party in the 2018 Texas U.S. Senate election, running against Republican incumbent Ted Cruz. O'Rourke received much media attention leading up to the election, with many considering the election abnormally competitive.<br />
<br />
; The Monopoly boot<br />
: The "boot" is one of the classic pewter tokens from the board game ''{{w|Monopoly (game)|Monopoly}}''. In 2017, the boot token was retired from the standard version of ''Monopoly''.<br />
<br />
; Lot's wife<br />
: Lot and his wife are characters from the book of Genesis in the Bible. According to the book of Genesis, Lot and his family had to {{w|Sodom_and_Gomorrah#In_the_Book_of_Genesis|flee the city of Sodom}}, which was being judged by God for its wickedness. They were commanded to flee and not look back at the city. However, Lot's wife looked back at the city and was turned into a pillar of salt. It is unclear which version of Lot's wife Randall wishes to be playable in the game.<br />
<br />
; D.B. Cooper<br />
: {{w|D.B. Cooper}} is the name popularly used to refer to an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft on November 24, 1971. He extorted $200,000 in ransom and parachuted out of the plane. His identity and whereabouts have never been discovered. D.B. Cooper was a subject of the [[1400: D.B. Cooper]] comic.<br />
<br />
; The Blair Witch<br />
: The Blair Witch is the titular character of the ''{{w|The Blair Witch Project}}'', a 1999 "found footage" supernatural horror film. The film became one of the most successful independent films of all time.<br />
<br />
; Mavis Beacon<br />
: ''{{w|Mavis Beacon}}'', properly titled as ''Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing'', is a software program used to teach touch typing. However, many have mistakenly thought that "Mavis Beacon" is an actual person.<br />
<br />
The title text refers to two US Supreme Court Associate Justices. {{w|Ruth Bader Ginsberg}} was appointed by Bill Clinton; {{w|Elena Kagan}} was appointed by Barack Obama. Both are considered to be on the “liberal” wing of the court, but Ginsberg’s forceful dissenting opinions may explain why she would have been a more popular character Super Smash Bros.<br />
