| Jun 11, 2019 at 19:16 | comment | added | gastropner | It is sad to see such an interesting question closed. As far as I understand, any concerns should be addressed before reopening a question. The main things in the comments is the "common image viewer" term, which is sufficiently hazy to be ambiguous, and the image being displayed in a state (as per @KevinCruijssen's concern) unaltered by the presence of the executable code is worthy of clarification. Would an edit addressing those concerns be enough? (I confess to not understanding the "is four colours four colours" ambiguity.) | |

| Jun 6, 2019 at 13:22 | comment | added | Martin Rosenau | @jimmy23013 I would allow grayscale. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 7:35 | comment | added | jimmy23013 | @MartinRosenau So, is grayscale disallowed? That's a bit arbitrary. But if you want to disallowed it anyway please edit that into the question. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 7:07 | comment | added | Martin Rosenau | @jimmy23013 At least 4 colors means black, white and two kinds of gray. However, I would call "two kinds of gray" "grayscale" and not "colors", so black, white, red and green would be a better example. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 7:03 | comment | added | jimmy23013 | Do you mean 4 colors (say black, white, two kinds of gray), or 4 channels (rgba)? | |

| Jun 5, 2019 at 8:11 | comment | added | Martin Rosenau | @JoKing I would also say that something like "colored ASCII art" is allowed, so one character represents one "pixel". | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 8:09 | comment | added | Martin Rosenau | @JoKing "Recognized by common image viewers" means that the file format can either be read by most computers with pre-installed software (such as HTML) or that a lot of user download a free-of-cost tool to view the file (such as PDF). I would say that HTML+JavaScript can be seen as code, however, the "image viewer" should not execute the code! So it would be allowed to say a web browser is an "image viewer", but in this case HTML is not "code". Or you can say that HTML+JS is "code", but in this case the web browser is not an "image viewer". | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 7:53 | comment | added | Martin Rosenau | @KevinCruijssen When interpreted as image file, the output file shall represent the same image as the input file: Same width and height in pixels and each pixel shall have the same color. If the file formats do not support exactly the same color palette, the colors of each pixel shall be as close as possible. The same is true for the file interpreted as executable file. If the output file represents a "full screen" program, it may display the image anywhere on the screen (centered, top-left edge, ...) or stretch it to full screen size. | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 7:32 | comment | added | Jo King♦ | How do you define "common image viewer"? For example, does an internet browser with HTML "code" count? | |

I've added the winning condition tags (code-challenge in combination with metagolf - shortest output). As for the input 64x64 image, do you have some example images? Also, does the image itself has to be the same when viewed? Or can the output image and input image differ? To be more concrete: let's say we add some kind of code for the .exe part of the challenge, and when viewing it as a .png there are modified pixels based on this .exe-code. Is this allowed as long as it's still a .png we can view? Does the output image also have to have at least 4 colors?
