Trueclor Gif Generator
Just for kicks. I saw a similar demo many years back and was curious how hard it would be to reproduce.
Gifs have a limited pallet of 255 colors, but that limit is per frame. Gifs also use transparency as a naive compression method such that the previous frame can show through. By utilizing this, we can in fact get 16 million colors in a single Gif!
- Less naive backfill. Track if the current backfilled color would be closer than a new one.
