Cool, yeah Floyd Sternberg is definitely period appropriate!

This article on dithering made the rounds a few months ago, and was a fascinating read; the hilbert curve method at the end (Riemersma) might be a good fit and get rid of some of the line effects (if that's of interest). And the Atkinson error diffusion sounds like it even has some history in old macs.

There's a really nice blog post on video stable dithering in Return to the Obra Dinn, but in that case it's a 3d game, and they've got direct access to the scene geometry. I'm curious if there's a nice way to use video encoding pixel tracking vectors to reduce swimminess...
