Pixelating your image

This is a simple tool to modify your image to a given color palette.


You can get a palette from an image using the ImageToColorPalette tool I created.

There's a reason we're doing this. Those colors in our images can be used to program our borer. If we're running on top of an image, it makes sense there's some initial conditions, that is, there's a program already stored in the image we can use. Because we only have some 32 or so functions in our codex, we can reduce the colors in our image to those that occur most frequently.

We can change each color to the nearest one from our palette, and we end up with a program our borer can interact with.
