Behind the scenes the code needs a bajillion pips of data in case of changes. My guess it needs to know where the image is in time-space continuum of universe, because codes are crap. 64K once could map an entire monitor in green dots or no green dots. You mock? That was all we needed to plot the hazard corridors (in case) of fuel spills. Dispatch the fire trucks and hazmat. We're not dead, yet.
Excel turns a 245 kByte Dungeon Puzzle (uses Wingdings as art) into a 42,630 KB Molly's World, just to have a hundred picts of faces. Diversity requires storage. The things we do to destroy the simulated globe.
Molly's World is soon to be a download on Spacegamer, assuming the webmaster says we got the server space. He doth groan merrily at File Sizes. Someday when our space runs out, the cartoons will be replaced by cuneiform markers, triangles pressed in clay.
The kids won't understand why Pokemon were hunted to extinction.
