That's flattering! Let's trade, but don't complain about the crippling anxiety and misophonia you'll have to deal with lmao

it's interesting how often ideas come to me when I'm sitting in silence at a park/garden/forest.
I realised a very efficient and minimal way to do tile-based shadow-casting (in C) that's completely software rendered - not using the GPU at all.
this draws in <1ms

Well yeah, if you're trying to troll/bully someone it's a bit hard to counteract an "lmao"

Just sad people stuck in their houses, I do feel bad for them. Which is why I never feed into it - I often just send an "lmao" which shuts them up, because I find their attempts of attacking me genuinely amusing in a sad "wow you really think I care" way.
I've been through my own share of it haha

It's so hard to accept there's such people, which is part of my problem. I genuinely just question what trauma they've been through to say such things. Smells a bit like Tall poppy syndrome

of course, from making fun of the name to just straight up saying "fuck off with your format". I dunno, a lot of the other critical comments were at least kinda constructive

I find it fascinating that even when I try to contribute something to society, even when I make it public domain, people still find something to complain about.
This is why I miss doing pixel art, because the worst complaint is "that doesn't look good to me" hahaha Which is easy to shrug off

Just pushed version 0.2:
- If the image has more than 256 colors it just uses the first color.
- PEP now supports RGBA/BGRA/ABGR/ARGB, and dynamically reformats depending on your input.
- You can now choose to make the first color transparent when using pep_decompress().

I am proud to announce...

PEP: Prediction-Encoded Pixels

This format is able to compress images (up to 256 colors) smaller than GIF, PNG, QOI, BMP, in almost all cases.
A lot of passion and research (and fixation) has gone into this:

That truly means a lot to me, thank you. I initially didn't pursue it because I thought "people only care about speed not size", but decided to pull through.
I personally have a strong "every byte matters" mindset, so I wanted to actually do something about it.
It's only gonna get better from here~!
