Jens,

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the main idea of the Golf challenge was to see how small someone could code a given task, not figure out how to make a task work.

I'd love to participate, but I guess I'll have to wait till there is posted code.

I believe you if you say it can be done, but I have no idea how to have a native Windows app display the image. All the apps I know of open it as a text file not an image file or just won't open it period.

I've found a lot of code to convert the files to GIF/JPG using C but they don't seem too easy to convert to KiX.

Not sure what knowing the image colors has to do with the task. What good is knowing that each row is a list of colors and the header tells you the size, etc. Since most native apps want either BMP/TIFF/GIF/JPG I still don't know how to convert it to another format. I've seen the C code to do it, but it does not look that easy.

Maybe you could somehow use KF to display the given colors, but not sure if the image would really display correctly.

So... I'll just wait till someone show how to do it and then see how small I can code it. Maybe I can place 8 out of 8 players [Eek!]
