<h1>Block video encoding test</h1>
<p>
Test work for a video encoding using Atari 800-family GTIA grayscale mode on top of text cells.
This allows a "block dictionary" of 128 2x8-pixel blocks on an 80x160 grayscale image,
at cost of 1840 bytes per full frame or 800 bytes to reuse previous blocks.
</p>
<p>
Currently just converts to grayscale and counts up unique blocks.
Next step: decimate if > 128 unique blocks per image, and combine
the most similar blocks in the output.
