> What does it look like if you zoom out infinitely often?

Make a sharp backwards roll of your mouse wheel and see for yourself - it'll turn on the autopilot mode.

I am really enjoying this full screen with auto-zoom-out at the slowest speed setting. If the controls faded like media player controls do in full screen, I would be perfectly satisfied.

This inspired a bit of awe in me, especially after I learned from another comment here that each game is unique.

edit: Oh wow, of course it's last month's Bubbles creator.

Already tried that, does not zoom quickly enough to reach infinity before I have to go to bed.

  • I don't think you need to reach infinity to realize it's OTCA metapixels all the way down and OTCA metapixels all the way up. In a way, it just loops forever.

    • That is the question I am asking. Zooming out finitely often gives you metapixels but what happens in the limit at infinity? Just like increasing x by any finite amount will always leave you with a small positive number for 1/x but in the limit you get 0.
