I thought The Hippo is purely a text file- composed of ASCII chars
arranged to make the appearance of a hippo from text
someone typed in. there is probably a more compact
representation since it is only composed of a few different characters
so 8 bits is a waste. if you imagine a family of hippos, you can make
a hippo codec for compressing and decompressing hippos, fingers,and
pictures of homer simpson. the trick is to find a statemachine to generate
the picture with a compact transition rule representation ( make the image
small).
