A wooden horse shouldn't be too hard to pixel, right? However, what if you only got 4 colours?

Hello. May I ask how I can post a picture that is saved from my computer? Or, do I have to type in a URL to do that? Thanks.

The forum doesn't actually have an associated image host to my knowledge so you'll have to find one yourself. There is a the PixelJoint Gallery obviously but that's generally for presenting and showing off art rather than just uploading things.

https://postimages.org/ - PostImage is what it seems like a a lot of people use including myself, though there are others. It doesn't resize or compress anything, so it shouldn't mangle pixel art the way many other image upload services do. Just upload the file there with the "do not resize this image" option selected.

Afterward right click the image you've uploaded and copy the associated URL. From there you can use the format [IMG]Image URL Here[/IMG] to add it to your post by pasting the URL you copied over placeholder.

Sorry if this is over explaining, it's hard to tell where people's relative experience is with these kinds of things.

Hi, Esven.

No problem. You explained everything clearly.

I'll keep this in mind for my next weekly challenge.

I've already submitted my Trojan Horse.
