Interface: BitCrushEffect

Defined in: attributes/shape/effects/implementations/bit-crush.ts:26

Colour-depth reduction: either quantize each channel to bits, or snap every pixel to its nearest entry in a fixed hardware palette.

The distinction from posterize and dither is which colours survive. Posterize keeps an evenly-spaced grid per channel; this can instead force an arbitrary, uneven, historically-specific set — which is what actually makes something look like a Game Boy rather than merely low-colour.

Pairs naturally with dither: quantize here, and let an ordered dither carry the error so gradients survive the palette cut.
