The Dink Network

I have no idea who I am anymore.

Just a small update:

i decided to make my own algorithm, by first reading the palette from the splash screen, and then doing the following, for each individual pixel in the file i was trying to convert:

I mapped the color of the pixel in a 3D space, using the RGB values, instead of XYZ. then i calculated the distance between that point, and every color in the palette mapped in the same way. The color from the palette which was the closest in this way replaced the pixel from the original file. The results??

some wierd s**t is going on... My images are really wierd, like all green and brown, So i think there has been a mistake in my algorithm, maybe the bit about calculating the distance between two points in a 3D space, but I'll have a play...

Does anyone know where i can find some detailed information about how some of the other algorithms out there work?? It's be very interesting to see if i could emulate them, and twek them for use with dink. Despite it's difficult maths, it's a fun problem to solve...

any ideas??

does this look right?

distance between any two points = sqrt((x-x1)^2 * (y-y1)^2 * (z-z1)^2)

i got that from my physics textbooks, but it doesnt seem to be working.

any feedback s most welcome...
