WBMP images

WBMP files are uncompressed 1 bit-per-pixel (monochrome) images. Each bit only stores black or clear (not always white) pixels.

I do not know what happens if one exceeds screen width with a WBMP image, so for now, I'm not gonna exceed 80px width.

WBMP files have a header and then the data itself. Width is padded to a multiple of 8 internally.

Byte: a unit made of 8 bits, the bits inside can have any combination of 0s and 1s. This is how computers store and use data.

Header: basic information about how to decode the rest of a file, usually contains the width, height and pixel format.

Pixel: one single dot in the screen. A screen is just a grid of pixels.
