What this is: These pages contain a collection of programming puzzles and solutions involving images. The goal of the puzzles is to give you interesting opportunities to practice programming in C. The puzzles use the PGM and PPM image formats. These are simple image formats, so you can easily write programs that do interesting things with images and not worry about the complexity of more common formats.
Although you will learn something of image processing in working through these puzzles, the primary goal is reinforce your C programming ability. Advanced image processing topics, like image transformations and filters are not discussed. But you will be able to create interesting images like the first two below, or do image enhancement like in the second two images.
