Revision as of 11:15, 6 September 2019
- Here are images from the dynamic comic 2198: Throw of individual throws and setting, including pictures of earlier versions, and different positions of the comics windows etc. These will be used in the main explanation by linking either to a section on this page with certain types of images or by linking directly to pictures that can be uploaded on this page. To help facilitate a detailed explanation.
Contents
Entire xkcd page with promotion
- At the same time that the promotion comic was released the xkcd Header text changed to promote the release of the How To book. So for three days (from Tuesday to Thursday) the front page of xkcd looked like this with both header promotion and promotion comic on the front page:
- This was, however, not the original text under the happy release day. That also changed during the first day.
- Here is a link to the original version of the header text when the comic was released.
Changes
- At the time the comic came out the You option was not on the two lists. So the original image used on this page was also without "you". This was how it looked most of the first day it was out:
Old lists
- At this time with only 7 throwers and 15 objects there where different list of throwers/objects, with no You. The NFL quarterback was no. 1 but to keep George (the preselected thrower) at the top NLF quarterback was pushed to number 3 when You came in. The objects where all pushed one down when You came in no. one there. But the Microwave oven, default throw object for George was still on top when showing two objects side by side.
- By zooming in was at some time possible to get only one column of throwers/objects. This may also have been changed, as it doesn't seem possible now.
- Also there was the lone squirrel at the bottom of both list, where it now shares position with Chris and Car.
- Here are some examples of how it looked originally for all the throwers, but only the top objects:
Errors
- In the beginning when the comic had just been released. There an error in the text above describing the throw. So it said How far could George Washington throw George Washington? instead of How far could George Washington throw a Microwave oven?.
- This was the case no matter what object was chosen together with George, except for the silver coins, and then when it was himself.
- Here are three examples with George from that time.
- This was the same for all throwers, but only those which could throw themselves had the extra option, and for all the two coins worked. Here are similar examples with Pikachu, and three others below that with other persons. The squirrel could find another squirrel, so it doesn't and didn't have the third options that George and Pikachu has. One could argue that there are more than one Pikachu as well as more than one Squirrel (but only one ex president George Washington), but Pikachu gets a different treatment than the squirrel.
Functionality
Custom thrower
- When the You option was added to the two lists, selecting the You thrower opened a new window, Custom thrower, over the comic where the name could be changed, and the height and weight could be adjusted and the Atleticism of You can be selected. This is a picture showing how that looks:
Throwers and Objects
- Her are examples showing the 4 rows of throwers with the four first rows of objects, and then four more images showing random throwers with the last four rows of objects, as they can be displayed using the scroll bar. This is to show how it looks, as this cannot be shown in the comics page here.
