UDG advent calendar thread

[R-Tape]

Let's see if this has legs: A festive UDG advent calendar. The idea is that at least one person posts a Christmas-themed UDG every day up to and including Chrimbobo

Here goes nothing!

A superlative suggestion, sir, with just two minor flaws. One, there can't be that many Christmas-themed images that'll fit into an 8×8 UDG. And two... there can't be that many Christmas-themed images that'll fit into an 8×8 UDG. Now, I realise that, technically speaking, that's only one flaw but I thought it was such a big one it was worth mentioning twice.

Nevertheless, now that we're Living After Midnight and it's 2nd December, I'll make one:

01111100

Bah! Humbug!

May you not find many such partially-melted humbugs gumming up the tape deck of your +2 after leaving them too close to the festive fire and where your five-year-old nephew could get hold of them and stuff them into all sorts of places that they shouldn't be.

ALSO: I expect a set of 21 of these to be SAVEd "advent" CODE USR "a" and presented as part of the WOOT! package. Right?

Nice UDG. Your next challenge is Scrooge in 64 pixels!

Nah it'll be a piece of pudding. The challenge will be not repeating @Kweepa's Advent Calendar, which I got us off to a bad start, but it's a different arrangement of pixels at least.

That's not a bad idea. Let's see how they turn out...

Is there an online way of creating a UDG essentially a way of editing the 8x8 grid?

Here’s one I made. (Spoiler’d so you can open it for a mild surprise just like a real advent calendar!)

December 7th

Eh?

It’s a lovely Christmas pud! Everyone’s got a little bit of room for some pud!

[bluespikey]

Very good, I like the reindeer. Let's see if we can do one a day till Christmas

[flatduckrecords]

A reindeer!

My fave so far! Very good.

A present

Nice! Like my own festive gift-giving the emphasis goes on the ribbons and ephemera to draw attention away from the modest size of the gift!

[Einar Saukas]

there can't be that many Christmas-themed images that'll fit into an 8×8 UDG.

There are 2^64 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 (about 18 quintillion) possible 8x8 UDGs.

Although only a small percentage of them look meaningful, and only a percentage of those can be interpreted as Christmas related theme... I still suspect we won't exhaust them all very soon.

Crafty inversion there. That's one thing we haven't mentioned yet - what PAPER, INK and (god forbid) FLASH values...

FLASH values...

And some of us had lightning and snow last night!

Where?! I'm going to need some help seeing this one (your Reindeer was superb btw)
