On “What would be the best starter project?”
BMP is definitely a fun format to play around with. A while ago, I wrote a BMP image by hand which was a great learning experience: link to this video
In the video, I'm using an indexeed BMP, though, so the each color gets an ID and the IDs are written as the image data instead of writing the color values directly.
