As a postscript,

For the web hackers out there - the lossless animation at the start of the article is not a <video> or a gif.

I got annoyed with how video codecs destroy pixel art, and other things, so I wrote my own.

This was almost more fun than doing the port.

Incidentally, that's why I'm not interested in playing any games using a streaming service like OnLive, Google Stadia, etc.

Ever since PCs have had DVI and consoles have had HDMI, gaming has been pristine lossless imagery. Go to IP video streaming and have compression artefacts taking a dump on every single frame? No thanks!
