gollark: I was mostly looking at the API for image drawing itself.
gollark: Hmm, I feel stupider now.

gollark: There's a function to "blit" images onto canvases (canves?) which can also upscale them a bit, but there doesn't *seem* to be a way to make it uses pixelated upscaling instead of some weird antialiasing algorithm.
gollark: ⭐ The image manipulation functions are mildly irritating ⭐
