Uh-oh, the app is broken:

    http://tilecache.lolspec.com/tms/1924/14/4822/6161.png Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
I'm running into the same issue.
Ahhhh! I killed the digital ocean droplet that was running the tile proxy for urban scratchoff last week. Sorry to those who were interested in using it, I'll try to get it running again this evening.
First priority should be to add error handling code; perhaps display a message that the tiles cannot be fetched, try again later.
The article is interesting on its own.
Fixed it! I will definitely add some tests and error handling in the future.
This is a bit reminiscent of the X11 toy "blast". I'm pretty sure having multiple different map versions bound to e.g. the function keys, for use in a "blink comparator" style, would be way more productive.
