It is great to see such content in today's world. However, the test is flawed in a sense that one can just follow, "strongly agree" option and get the best possible outcome. In other words, it is too easy to cheat. A proper test should have everything randomized to minimize the chance of spam-cheating.

This is indeed a very obvious defect.

Thanks for sharing! I liked it that it runs locally.

I do have a use case that you probably did not consider: Color By Numbers [1]. Might be something that is useful for educators and parents.

My feedback: there's more to pixel art than just reducing the resolution of an image. If you look at art like that found in Pokemon Emerald intro[0], the artists really squeezed every ounce they could from the palette available and worked with the constraints to make very beautiful artwork.

Here's an example I worked with: Original image: https://i.imgur.com/9nbqLCV.jpeg phototopixel.art: https://i.imgur.com/99qRwcy.png

More what I was probably looking for: https://i.imgur.com/oqSNNDt.jpeg

I generated this image above using ChatGPT by giving it the original image above and this prompt: "Convert this to pixel art, as if it had been made for the gameboy advance."

Okay, got it. I'll seriously consider making improvements.
