Simple BMP files consist of a header followed by pixel data.
By selecting the colors for individual pixels that correspond to the ASCII characters in the source code, a BMP is created that contains the source code.
This seems completely useless, until you realize that early computers were programmed by flipping switches to enter the binary values the operator wanted to set...
Then you realize that this is entering human-readable high-level language code that would have to be compiled, and with a header that will fail to compile, so yes, this is completely useless. grin
