> Steganography is a name given for a set of encryption techniques, where the targeted message is hidden inside an image in some form.

Actually, steganography is not a type of encryption, and is simply the process of hiding a message, be it inside of an image, another message, the closing values of the DJIA, or not inside of anything at all.

I'm curious why you didn't simply duplicate the palette 16 times, then use the gray values in 0x0X, and the brainfuck character component in 0xX0. You'd be able to fit vastly more brainfuck data into an image, depending on the characteristics of the image and the code.



You make a fine point. Amended the intro.

The original idea that popped into my head was, "what if an image was a BF program?" With compression and/or palette reorganisation, of course more BF can be fit into an image, but it wouldn't be a pure BF program.
