This might get broken into several issues:

• The command protocol
• The server
• Keys and interaction

I would like to disable the screen saver color rotation thingy.

The startup screen is black. Hard to know you are actually running and what you are running.
In lieu of a splash screen (maybe later) maybe should add a header to the screen that just shows the app name and version.

Simply IFDEF it out for now. Use compile time -D to enable.

For some reason the app keys are not being saved.

The APOD viewer by Bill Kendrick has two (I think) modes that are color "high res" modes. Let's port them over.

Need to save the stream host to FN, default is my server.

Stop committing the executable and create a release

Hitting a key while streaming pauses the stream. There should be a way to resume.

Make a "universal" error function that is supported by the console.

The playfield settings tell ANTIC how many bytes per line:

32, 40 or 48 bytes per line (NARROW, NORMAL, WIDE)

This means we could, in theory, render a 384 pixels (g8) or 96 pixels (g9) image.

Resolution++

384x200 = 9600 byte image if B/W or grayscale.

... it's C for crying out loud.

I believe this has something to do with the PIL library's paste function trying to preserve or work with the alpha channel. Need to ignore alpha or convert it out... something.

It would be interesting to have the images alternate between graphics modes, or randomly change.

set mode random

See the title...

Stupid implementation. Handling of connections is threaded but the graphics mode is global so each thread instances the same mode. One thread can change the mode. Need to fix this.

Example: Every time YAIL is run, it checks for any associated APP KEYS on the FN. On the first run, the system takes a bit to respond that there are none so it creates the APP KEY(s) and writes the default address to it(them). This takes a moment and one can be left to feel that the system is hung.

Throw the user a bone and show them a message stating such.

Kind of self explanatory. Maybe make a variable size console? Not sure how to address just yet.

When an image is loaded and you change the graphics mode, say from 8 to 9, the image is, of course, rendered with with the current data which isn't correct for that mode.

Make the system request the same image from the server but in that graphics mode.
