I made a video showing a slow zoom-in to Waldo in the first hundred million hex digits of pi, using your color palette. Feel free to use it if you want with a link back to this comment, I release it under CC-BY.

(The idea is basically that each consecutive 988 bytes gets put into an individual 19x26 8 bit image with your color palette, and these are then stacked in row order.)
- kundor 5y agoThat's awesome!
- kundor 5y agoI added a reduced preview of this to my blog post. I really like how it gives an impression of finding Waldo in a haystack of noise, just like in the picture books. The preview is not as pretty as the real thing, but I thought embedding a 27MB video in the page might be a bit much.
- bscphil 5y agoYeah I did my best to compress it but it's so noisy that there's very little compression that can be done without turning it into a blur. I can give you the original lossless PNG frames if you want them, but honestly I don't know that they'd be that useful. Here's one lossless frame from near the end of the video, it's kinda nice because it gives you a little bit of context for the final Waldo without being overwhelming. https://i.imgur.com/wNZICnP.png https://i.imgur.com/wNZICnP.png Here's also the full image as a 21.2 MiB PNG: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmUJaeon4KjE2RGVirXTG5xQuA6pCWV5T9GW2KSzBx8VXk https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmUJaeon4KjE2RGVirXTG5xQuA6pCWV5T9GW2KS... The full image contains the first 99969546 digits of pi, including the opening 3.
