bugs

when importing images, some pixels have errors. it seems to only happen for pixels surrounded at the top and left:

111    111
100 => 110
100    100

pixsy does not work in the Itch desktop program because their bundled version of Chromium does not support WebAssembly.

to do

• add alternative dithering options (Atkinson, Bayer 8×8)
• add a 'smoothing' (noise reduction?) stage to remove errant pixels

could do

• reimplement tile reuse option
• add camera support so users can take a pic instead of uploading an image
• allow user to draw to canvas
