Urnoev: I personally would be interested to see one or several code snippets, to show how you solved the programming part of the puzzle.
Here you go, this is the JavaScript way of getting the data out of the alpha channel. I commented the code extensively just for you and you can look it up via your browser.

If you don't want to open an untrusted site or don't know how to view source in the browser here is the same thing in pastebin. The only drawback is that you won't be able to see it work before your eyes. =)

Enjoy!

Ah, you used the BitArray as well. That should have made it easier. Of course, had I not used it, it would have made it somewhat more difficult for you.

Attached is the C++-code I used (to actually view it download the file, rename to <something>.7z and uncompress it (GOG doesn't allow files with non-image extensions)). There may be some configuration necessary (relevant xkcd) to run it (mainly selecting the compiler).

Thanks to you all for providing your code!
At some point I came up with the actual visible alpha channel data too, but couldn't extract anything useful from it by eye. It's nice that you had different approaches, the finished examples are less complicated than I imagined. :D
