    Awesome. I recently got a play.date device, so im getting into 1 bit pixel art for a game i am building. I am using as a forcing function 5o avoid the multitudes of rabbit holes possible with games. It is so refreshing!

    I was inspired by this site to run emojis through a dithering algorithm (https://dither-emojis.pages.dev/)! Nothing beats hand drawn though.

    This has me feeling nostalgic for Hypercard. Nice work!

    Some things are just plain beautiful.

    I would gladly use this as an emoji set (alongside Chicago or Monaco).

    Cool. 1-bit hi-resolution emoji would be fire.

    What resolution? high enough and they will just appear gray scale. I think the point is for them to be low-res

    BTW you can print it on a transparent film and use any coloured paper as a background layer or multiple with a different offsets and grade.

    With a proper combo o depth you can get a very nice result.

    Hey that's such a nice idea, of multiple layers.

    Thanks to your idea, now I am imagining printing different layers of foreground and background on glass and stacking them with spacers for parallax.
