********************************************************************************* * * Title: World of Xeen Map Mileage * Author: Aquathros Cloudweaver * Date: 01/10/2014 * E-mail: aquathros | @ | gmail.com * * Description: I was bored and curious about how long it actually * took to cover both overworld maps. This was done for * fun. * * Note: This does not include inside places (dungeons, towns, * castles, mines, caves, towers). This is only the overworld maps. * Does not include backtracking. * * I'm sure I've made a few mistakes, but I have provided * my calculations. I'm only one person. * * Rounding is noted where occured. * Four decimal places used when possible. * * I think the time is more accurate when you calculate * the individual sections; you can be more * precise and you are only concentrating on * a small part of the map, not the whole thing. * * Most of the numbers I pulled from my World of Xeen Map Time * file. These are number of squares and minutes for * walkable and non-walkable tiles. * * A summary is included immediately following this section * for those who do not want to look through the * calculations, but want to know. * ********************************************************************************* *********************************************************************** * * Summary: * * WALKABLE * Cloudside * 2784 mi * * Darkside * 2785.5 mi * * Both Maps * 5569.5 * * NON-WALKABLE * Cloudside * 288 miles * * Darkside * 286.5 miles * * Both Maps * 574.5 mi * * ALL TILES * Cloudside * 3072 miles * * Darkside * 3072 miles * * Both Maps * 6144 miles * * ONE SECTION * One 16*16 Section * 128 miles * ************************************************************************* mi = miles mph = miles per hour m = minutes h = hours sq = square average human walking speed 3 mph 3 mi for 6 sq (60 m, 1 h) 0.5 mi for 1 sq (10 m) 1 sq = 10 min 24 sections, 16 squares by 16 squares 256 squares for one section 6144 squares for one map 12288 squares for both maps ******************************************************************************** * * One section * * 256 sq * 10 m = 2560 m * 2560 / 60 = 42.6667 * 42 * 60 = 2520 * 2560 - 2520 = 40 * 42 h 40 m * 3 mi * 42 h = 126 mi + 2 mi = 128 mi * ********************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************* * * One side of map -- ALL TILES * * 6144 sq * 10 m = 61440 m * 61440 m / 60 m = 1024 h * 3 * 1024 h = 3072 mi * ********************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************* * * Both sides of map -- ALL TILES * * 12288 sq * 10 m = 122880 m * 122880 m / 60 m = 2048 h * 3 * 2048 = 6144 miles * ********************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************* * * Cloudside - WALKABLE TILES * * Eight completely walkable sections * 2560 * 8 = 20480 * 20480 / 60 = 341.3333 * 60 * 341 = 20460 * 20480 - 20460 = 20 * 341 h 20 m * 3 * 341 = 1023 + 1 = 1024 mi * *35200 m = border sections * 35200 / 60 = 586.6667 * 586 * 60 = 35160 * 35200 - 35160 = 40 * 586 h 40 m * 3 * 586 = 1758 + 2 = 1760 * 1760 + 1024 = 2784 mi * ********************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************* * * Darkside - WALKABLE TILES * * Eight completely walkable sections * 2560 * 8 = 20480 * 20480 / 60 = 341.3333 * 60 * 341 = 20460 * 20480 - 20460 = 20 * 341 h 20 m * 3 * 341 = 1023 + 1 = 1024 mi * * 35230 m = border sections * 35230 / 60 = 587.1667 * 587 * 60 = 35220 * 35230 - 35220 = 10 * 587 h 10 m * 3 * 587 = 1761 + 0.5 = 1761.5 mi * 1761 + 1024 = 2785.5 mi * ********************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************* * * Both maps - WALKABLE TILES * * 55680 + 55710 = 111390 m * 111390 / 60 = 1856.5 * 1856 h 30 m * 1856 * 3 = 5568 + 1.5 = 5569.5 mi * * ********************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************* * * Cloudside - Non-Walkable Tiles * * 576 sq * 576 * 10 = 5760 m * 5760 / 60 = 96 * 96 h * 96 * 3 = 288 mi * ********************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************* * * Darkside - Non-Walkable Tiles * * 573 sq * 573 * 10 = 5730 m * 573 / 60 = 95.5 * 95 h 30 m * 95 * 3 = 285 + 1.5 = 286.5 mi * ********************************************************************************* ********************************************************************************* * * Both maps - Non-Walkable Tiles * * 576 + 573 = 1149 * 1149 * 10 = 11490 * 11490 / 60 = 191.5 h * 191 h 30 m * 191 * 3 = 573 + 1.5 = 574.5 mi * ********************************************************************************* EOF
