Hey Perebor, what if we turn your coding brain into a pixel art generator? I can tweak colors, you can optimize the algorithm—let’s make a 16x16 masterpiece.

That sounds like a neat experiment—if I can squeeze the optimization into a tight loop and keep the palette constraints clean, we’ll get crisp edges. Just let me know the color set and any pattern rules you want. Let's get those pixels in order.

Love the energy, Perebor! How about we go for a neon‑retro vibe: 8 colors—black, white, magenta, cyan, yellow, lime, orange, and deep blue. Keep each sprite 32x32 so the loop stays tight, and let the palette cycle every 4 rows to give that glitchy feel. You handle the loops, I’ll map the patterns—ready to see those crisp edges pop?

Got it. I’ll set up a 32×32 grid, use a 4‑row cycle for the 8‑color palette, and keep the loop strictly bound to that. If you give me the pattern matrix, I’ll hash it and output the pixel array—neon‑retro coming right up.

Here’s a quick 4‑row pattern matrix—just plug it in and it will repeat to fill the 32×32 grid:
Row 0: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Row 1: 7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0
Row 2: 1,3,5,7,0,2,4,6
Row 3: 6,4,2,0,7,5,3,1
These are palette indices (0‑black, 1‑white, 2‑magenta, 3‑cyan, 4‑yellow, 5‑lime, 6‑orange, 7‑deep blue). When you loop it across the grid it’ll create that sharp neon‑retro glow—go ahead and hash it, and let me know how it looks!
