Man. If I add a 32x32 16-color icon to this little Windows program, I think it will end up being 20% of the executable
19:20
<@Reiv>
Compress the icon!~
19:20
<&McMartin>
Nope. It has to be visible to the file explorer.
19:21
<&McMartin>
I could make it be monochrome, but I'd really like to use four colors.
19:21
<&McMartin>
Sadly, 16 colors is the next step up from monochrome in that image format.
19:21
<@Reiv>
Alas
19:21
<&McMartin>
(One of the reasons I'm *actually* doing this silliness is to get a handle on how the windows resource system is intended to work)
19:21
<@Reiv>
How big would it be in monochrome anyhoo?
19:22
<&McMartin>
In terms of actual final cost to file size, if resources work even a little bit like the way I think they do: 512 bytes.
19:22
<&McMartin>
While anything fancier will be 1024.
19:23
<&McMartin>
In terms of the raw bitmap data: 32x32 monochrome bitmap is 128 bytes.
19:23
<@Reiv>
So only 10%!
19:23
<&McMartin>
Well, it's 4KB now.
19:23
<&McMartin>
So 11.1%~
19:24
<&McMartin>
It's plausible that the code segment will grow past its current 1.5KB before I'm done too, so I may be able to shuffle things that *aren't* the icon out of code and into resources to free up space and maybe cut the number of blocks the code uses.
19:24
<&McMartin>
Time will tell!

21:38 * McMartin looks at some icon files in hexdumps
21:38
<&McMartin>
ahahahaha
21:38
<&McMartin>
They're bitmaps all right
21:38
<&McMartin>
When it's 16-color 32x32 images, each row of the bitmap is one line of the hexdump
21:38
<&McMartin>
you can in fact totally see the shape of the icon in the text

I have lost a lot of context on Crossroads :(
