@manmachine if you have an iOS device, which i don't

@wrosecrans @angela something like that has been attempted! though do note that the ditherinator images look better because they don't limit how many of the NES colors to put on an image at once

@drahardja i have, and i played through the entire game!! it's fascinating!

@NanoRaptor i'm stimming out of joy with how well it clicked with you of all people ❗

@NanoRaptor aha, i found this, and this diagram:

Burkes is actually a modified version of the Stucki algorithm, which in turn is an evolution of the Jarvis algorithms.

these should be easy to implement!

@NanoRaptor ooohh!! do you know how they worked/were implemented?

also, have you seen the ditherinator? :D

i want to get some funkier dithering modes in #ditherinator. do you know any other error diffusion or ordered dithering modes i haven't implemented?

i like how a web toy made by someone with undiagnosed adhd in 3 days has better functionality than the current versions of multiple professional image editors

OK here is a first release!!!

https://maple.pet/ditherinator #ditherinator

i gave up for now on quantizing colors from the source image bc it's harder than i thought, but you can still upload your own palette PNGs and use the built-in ones

HAVE FUN AND SHOW ME COOL PICTURES

OK OK i finally implemented bayer

if i can get some work done on palettes (add built-ins, sampling from image) i'm properly releasing an initial version

nope. still playing with it

here's a cool little picture in 640x480 with only the 16 EGA colors. you could set this as your windows 95 wallpaper

well floyd-steinberg was easy to implement

ohhh yeahhhh

let's see if i implement the other dithering modes tonight or if i just keep playing with this and doing no work

i'm cheating a little bit truncating 8 bits of color into 6 bits to make the LUT manageable, but since the point of the tool is to reduce colorspace anyway it shouldn't be much of a problem

YESSS yes yes LUTs to the rescue

i've made sliders automatically update the preview again

this version is now live at the previous link

@clyde not half bad :D
