So glad you liked it! Don't be so harsh on yourself, the idea of using the alpha channel is actually really good. There's a multitude of different approaches to steganography, you could in theory even hide a plain old bit string that is divided into packets of 3 bits each. Or hide a sound file. Or hide an image in a sound file! Hiding an entire game in an image's alpha channel makes it even less obvious that something's hidden :)

Steganography is really interesting...although I keep calling it stenography and that really confuses people šŸ˜œ

Quilting has always appealed to me. Especially back when I was watching James Bond. But at some point, I realized that I needed to look at reality, and it was time to learn a profession. And I opted for phlebotomy. After all, phlebotomy is one of the cheapest career certifications you can get. I want to ensure that the patients are not stressed out after the training. The cost of a training course for this profession has many variables. But usually, the training costs $300 to $700 and can be completed online or in person. Still, I think there are similarities to steganography in this profession. So I haven't gotten very far from that.

That's an interesting insight! I personally know nothing of the challenges there, what are the similarities?
