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.

This TAS by warmCabin ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/warmCabin ) and Randomno ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Randomno ) improves on the previous four color theorem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem ) TAS by optimizing the coloring, saving nearly 2 seconds, and fixing mistakes with certain dinosaurs where the four color theorem wasn't properly followed. For details on how the theorem is applied this time around, you can read this forum post ( https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/24263 ).
