Image Quality Test

I used my first day off to write something I've been meaning to do for a while. I sometimes see people request uncompressed images in our games, but I'm skeptical that they would actually be able to tell the difference between uncompressed and reasonably compressed images. At the same time, uncompressed images would make the game ten times larger.
So I wrote some code to let you folks test this for yourselves. I've got the images from Rain God in uncompressed PNG, Full Quality JPEG, and 80% Quality JPEG. Pick the two you'd like to compare, and it will randomly choose between them. You get to pick if you think the image you're looking at is the higher quality one or the lower one. If you guess randomly, you're likely to get around 50% right. If you can really see the difference, you should be able to repeatedly do over 85%.

Give it a try, and let me know how it goes.
