Yes. If you count zero as a value there are 256 values, 2^8.

I love it, but I doubt the wife would let me have it anywhere in the house ;)
I have a print of it made from a bitmap that is on inkjet canvas. It's 40 inches square, centered on a 44 inch square, ready to be matted and framed, if you are interested.
The one in the pictures above is actually a painting and is 80 inches square.
There is a new version of LaserBoy!
This version adds a new feature that allows you to save a frame, selected frames or the whole frame set as bitmap of the current view with rotation, offset and scale and visual artifacts like vertices, blanking, fixed and floating bounds and axis.
Also fixed some directory nav issues in dxf and bmp menus and some bugs with the way a bitmap gets opened into the display background.
Plus, I added some new frames to in.ild.

Enjoy!
Fixed a lot of stuff about importing bitmap files.
Added some new features.
Now you can place a folder full of bitmap files inside the ./LaserBoy/bmp/ folder and load the whole set as the background image set to trace over. Go into menu i to input. 6 for bmp. Hit 9 open bmp directory as background. To change the bitmap index, you must be in either menu K or L where you can draw and move stuff. In those menus, (capital) W advances the bitmap in the display to be the next one in the folder and (capital) Q takes you backward. So you can load a set of raster images that make an animation and move through them with the keyboard.
Another interesting thing it does now is load a folder full of bitmaps as color maps for the currently open vector frame set. If there is a miss match between the number of bitmaps and the number of vector frames, you get the larger of the two numbers with the smaller one repeated as needed to fill.
So, you can use ffmpeg to split a video file into frames, use Imagemagick to convert them all to bmp and you can do stuff with that in LaserBoy now.
