QR Code (Proof of concept)

[Erik Barros]

Hello there, I was looking at some older live racing posts, seeing a post from Overdrijf gave me an idea!

I tried to replicate a QR code on the Stunts track and Great Scott!! It works.

The next step is to try to draw a circuit.

I used the me-qr website to generate the QR code with a static link and it already drew a 29x29 grid that I managed to replicate using Bliss.

The second image was taken using stcarto, with the "Transparent low ground" parameter

I can't read it

Wow... it's curious how the second image, before clicking on it, doesn't look at all like a QR code. Once it's resized, the browser does show a QR code. I can't test them because I don't use smartphone apps, but it looks very valid!

Google Lens does catch code from the full-size second picture! The contrast in the Bliss screenshot with the usual rendering is too low I think -- it works if you change the green to a bright one, though.

You are looking at a JPEG thumbnail of a transparent PNG, which gains a 'undefined' black background and heavy compression artifacts.

Ah!!  Yes, that makes sense. Really weird!

Nice. This might be the best use of a Stunts track as data storage since ZCT256! What's more, this one is actually recognizable as such!
