In my playing with Brick-o-liser (which has been hampered by the fact that
it's very very slow.... even on a fast connection) the stock images are all
larger than the 44x44 plate area, requiring resizing.

Are people using actual 44x44 sized images in their playing?  if not...

My thinking was that if one wasn't that rather than using "bands" one should
use "wedges" of color centered around the very center of the image. A quick
thought on that leads me to believe that the proportions remain the same or
almost so no matter how one resizes the image. Bands, when resized, can
shift off the edge of the plate-rendered image.

BTW I bet TLC is shaking their head at how we are trying to optimize it!

I can't see reselling any of these plates, or buying, either, it seems too
simple and low cost to get some in the first place.

I wish Eric H (well, whichever Eric he's claiming to be today) would pop in
and comment on how things work underneath. :-) (yes, hacking it is more fun)

(...) But it can't recolor your pixels if you do high-contrast banding -- i.e., a band of black, a band of medium gray, a band of white, a band of dark gray, and finally a band of light gray. I think it can only (fairly) do color substitutions when (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
