[Coco] Coco3 GIF viewer demonstrated

[rietveld rietveld]

I noticed a trade off with color depth verses image size.   When I convert a JPEG to GIF at a color depth of 128 the resulting image is about 88k.   Obviously a higher depth of 255 would create a better GIF but the image would exceed the 158k DSK size available.

It would be perfect to get a camera that would default the saved image as a GIF since the coco3 can handle those pictures

There is also an implementation in Microsoft BASIC, though a later version than what the CoCo has.

I am looking at JPG right now because there are dirt cheap cameras that can connect up but they only send JPG images. For $20 or so, we’d have a new camera for the CoCo. Very cool stuff.
