What can fit in 95 bits

category: general [glöplog]
Actually, what about those QRcodes? Those can hold a fair bit of data!

oh yeah, that's the other thing with a multiplatform demo - what if you then ask each computer to only render a portion of the screen? let's say you have four different computers, each rendering a quarter of the demo..

Here's my poem of the day:

Finally use for my QR code reader on my iPhone!

(and it's a limerick, not a poem :D)

Yes i know it's a limerick but there we go, it was in the heat of the moment eureka type thingy... haha

I'm going to make a t-shirt with a QRcode now... and a barcode for the oldskool effect... pfft :)

qrcode holds nearly 3kb.. cool for a demo, but personally i'd rather see a decent 1d version with real limits.

Hmm.. but the standard UPC one is looking maybe a bit too extreme the other way. It's 95 bits until you take out the start/end/middle control bits. Then you're down to 84. And you can't use certain sequences (like too many 0s in a row) or the code gets unreadable. It's probably more like 50 usable bits.

how many bits do you need to store an osdm configuration? :D

Well, there's code128 that supports variable length bar codes + higher density. Or there's micro-qrcode, but I haven't seen how much that can store.

hmm.. that's a point. I guess osdm must be pretty tiny, but it also stores the text + logo. Perhaps qrcode, with a limited instruction set, but allow data storage inside it?

I've seen some qrcodes with gfx in and you can apparantly colour the 'pixels' without problems. (according to the wiki) could the gfx data be stored that way perhaps? (or actually would it be too low res)

why not just put some qrcodes in a line.. ?!
omg i see fractals now :D

EXCELLENT FILEFORMAT FOR NEXT EMPIRE'S TEXTURE GENERATOR!
m0d, you're a great guy and all, but that *is* really, really dorky :D
