16 commentsThe diffusion algorithms don't inherently make images brighter. They require working in the right color space, linear light in this case.
This color space error is less visible when dithering to many colors, because the difference between the most similar color and dithered color is small, so the (incorrectly) diffused error is small. But dithering to 1 bit is the worst case.
This is such a chronic problem with compiling any existing C or C++ code. I'm paranoid about touching any new 3rd party software in those languages because of the inevitable frustrating fragility of it all.
The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The benefits of color and also the benefits of low powered, long battery life with possibly the chance to change the color to black and white like original playdates shipped with.
Doom on Playdate looks awesome though!
