@ -109,54 +109,87 @@ index matches the current pixel, this index position is written to the stream.
Each chunk starts with a 2, 3 or 4 bit tag, followed by a number of data bits.
The bit length of chunks is divisible by 8 - i.e. all chunks are byte aligned.
QOI_INDEX {
u8 tag : 2; // b00
u8 idx : 6; // 6-bit index into the color index array: 0..63
}
The possible chunks are:
QOI_RUN_8 {
u8 tag : 3; // b010
u8 run : 5; // 5-bit run-length repeating the previous pixel: 1..32

The difference to the current channel values are using a wraparound operation, so "1 - 2" will result in 255, while
"255 + 1" will result in 0.

for each set bit r, g, b and a another byte follows in the order written here. If such a byte follows,
it will replace the current color channel value with the value of this byte.
QOI_COLOR {
u8 tag : 4; // b1111
u8 has_r: 1; // red byte follows
u8 has_g: 1; // green byte follows
u8 has_b: 1; // blue byte follows

The byte stream is padded with 4 zero bytes. Size the longest chunk we can
encounter is 5 bytes (QOI_COLOR with RGBA set), with this padding we just have
