Color a Dinosaur is coloring software for the NES, in which users are tasked, as the name implies, to color one of the 16 dinosaurs present in it. It also has a cult following on TASVideos, as throughout the site's history, most of the TASes were submitted on April Fool's Day ( https://tasvideos.org/Subs-List?GameId=1855 ), and thus spawned inside jokes on the site, especially by older members.

Here, warmCabin ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/warmCabin ) saves 30 seconds on the previous four color theorem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem ) run by using a script that utilizes a tuned graph algorithm to figure out the most optimal coloring pattern to use for each dinosaur. For more details on the algorithm used, you can read the author's notes ( https://tasvideos.org/9637S ).
