I played a bit with one of my older script… it was for some battle which disappeared with the last site hack anyway. I updated it with some smoothing of the dots.

It takes a pixel from an image and replaces it with a dot of size depending on intensity of the pixel. Its a bit slow.

Hope, you will like it 🙂
