Then there would be no need of parsing.
You would need _two_ bitmaps (e.g. mask and cursor, so that mask=1 gives
transparent, mask=0 cursor=0 gives black and mask=0 cursor=1 gives white).
Yes, but it's still packed more efficiently.
Well. You can't have both. We can have a efficiently packed format
(i.e. two bitmaps). Or we can do it in a way which doesn't need
parsing, but that wouldn't be the most compact format ...
There's yet another way:
#define _ 0,
#define X 0xff000000,
#define o 0xffffffff,
{
_ _ _ X o X _ _ _
}
#undef _
#undef X
#undef o
Neat idea ;)
