Oh, but I haven't actually tested the output stream yet. So for all I
know, some error is lurking somewhere making my numbers smaller by
accidentally throwing data away...

Actually, late night spurt — with Huffman trees it's 5,528 bytes and
6,653 bytes respectively.
So going with the lowest figure I make that 330k for the whole map.
The watermark isn't a problem as I'd want to make up each screen by
hand anyway. I'd be happy to make a couple of test screens up
Actually, I guess you don't really need test screens for what you're
doing. the offer is there anyhow :)

If png's can be used then I think we should do it even if using an
image of tiles is a bit ironic! It would allow changes to be made to
the image in the gimp rather than flash! if nothing else! ;) If a
success, I don't dare to dream about scumm

Ummm... whats the point in using a png map if the png is based on tiles?!? I
thought the idea for using png was to allow some really nice authentic graphics
to be used that do not look tiley - which the Dizzy map obviously does. The png
idea could be very good for something NOT tile based
The gamble is that anything cartoony compresses better than anything
photographic, that PNG is work subsequent to the Sam's heyday,
explaining why we're able to be much more bullish about compression
rates and that if the map stops fitting we can just break it into
multiload. It may not work, but
