Ah, yes, I now understand what you meant by 'pattern'.
I always use bytes for RLE, this covers as well normal repeating data as
dithering.
But I still doubt there's much of a pattern to discover in the patterndata.
In fact, it is already compressed (that's the whole idea of combining a
tilemap with tiles)... The tiles itself are most likely very different from
eachother and a pattern can hardly be discovered I think.
By the way, what do you mean by "not tested"??? How can you program it then?
