The most interesting feature of this is the time lapse gifs. Over the course of 6 months, about 1,500 time lapse gifs were made by people visiting this site and working together. I plan to put some best-ofs up later today. I had to drop down to C for the gif feature since there is no gif encoder in JS that is fast enough to encode several mb of time lapse data. The time lapse format is really simple but since it stores x,y,c,t for each change, and t = double for unix timestamp, each file gets heavy quick.
