After several tries, i managed to play it, sort of, on Brave on my Samsung S9.
Very impressive compression trick, as a proof of concept, it is worthy of praise, congrats.
I imagine this approach could be used for much more practical uses.

PoCs like this are neat and definitely shows some skillz by the author, but now I'm hoping security types take a look at this to see how vulnerable this could be from asshats.

- kuberwastaken 1y agoThank you so much haha and yes! It indeed can, I always also like the idea of having QR code game cartridges of sorts haha (PS I updated the hosted version again and it's much better for mobile controls, try it out if you get the time!)
- Mainan_Tagonist 1y agoI was thinking yesterday whether it would have a potential application in the field of low resources communication : you produce a QR code containing your info that you transmit over SSTV so the other party can get the message. Supposedly much more efficient than FT8 or JS8Call.
- kuberwastaken 1y agoNever thought about it that way, wow
