Xkcd: Instructions
- evolve2k 5y agoI’m confused. What is this?
- lifthrasiir 5y agoIt seems a 9-hour-long audio converted from a LOGO program with interleaved comments.
- lifthrasiir 5y agoThanks to the community transcription efforts [1], I can now say it is indeed a LOGO program that draws the actual comic [2] featuring Bob Ross with various things drawn in a whiteboard. Comments are identified as various turtle facts. [1] https://github.com/theinternetftw/xkcd2601/ https://github.com/theinternetftw/xkcd2601/ [2] My quick attempt that draws about 25% of the image: https://github.com/theinternetftw/xkcd2601/issues/4 https://github.com/theinternetftw/xkcd2601/issues/4

- evolve2k 5y agoInsights from the link: > It appears to be coding instructions, probably to draw a turtle, such as the image hidden on the page. This has not been confirmed. The main object on the picture is a turtle. The turtle is a key concept in LOGO, a programming language especially designed to teach programming to children in an easy way. And a link to a GitHub user who has transcribed the first 60 minutes of the audio into logo (pen up, pen down etc) and has drawn this image so far. https://github.com/theinternetftw/xkcd2601#first-60-minutes-of-transcription https://github.com/theinternetftw/xkcd2601#first-60-minutes-...
