Variations of error diffusion that offer different degrees of noise and pattern density. Ordered Dithering (Bayer Patterns):

error = old_pixel - new_pixel

These create structured, checkerboard-like patterns (cross-hatch) often found in classic DOS games and early console graphics. Threshold Dithering: Variations of error diffusion that offer different degrees
