Add support for PNG in screenshots.

[pawaskar-shreya]

Currently a pr has been merged to enable us to save screenshots using Claudius. It can be refered here

The above Pr implemented screenshot for Claudius using the ocaml-gif library. It works wonderfully for most of our use cases where the max colors used were 256. But it fails for a larger color size, for eg, the day2 in the claudius-examples which uses 1024 colours. For such edge cases, we can provide the addition of PNG support for screenshots.

@mdales I would love to add the PNG support as well. Could you assign me this ticket?

@pawaskar-shreya I note you've not yet finalised your application - just to note that I think that is higher priority than this ticket (assuming you do intend to submit).

[pawaskar-shreya]

Yess @mdales I am done with the final application. And will be submitting it soon!

I had first drafted it first in the form of a google doc and added formatting to it. But the outreachy final application submission page has a text box. So I am figuring out how to add it there with all the formatting.

Is it okay if I add it without the formatting and instead add some of the extra sections to that optional block?

[pawaskar-shreya]

@mdales can I add the doc link also, it has all the formatting?

[mdales]

I don't know what the Outreachy people prefer, so I'd have the content in the text box as best you can, and you can always add the link, but I suspect they'll go first by the text box contents.

But you're working on it, thanks, that's what I wanted to check before you got lost in this ticket!

[pawaskar-shreya]

Nooo noooo, I am totally working on the final application submission first at this point. That is the top most priority as you mentioned.

and you can always add the link

That would be great!!

Thankyou so much @mdales for checking in!
