Yesterday, I got bored and encoded an image into a QR code. Not a link to an image, the whole image. Check out the project here: gitlab.com/noClaps/qr-ima…

I saw a video (youtube.com/watch?v=ExwqNr…) of someone doing something similar a while ago and that stuck around in my head. My friend's GF's dog got lost a couple days ago, and they were printing out posters with QR codes that linked to the image

Can you fit a whole game into a QR code?
In my headcanon, Hannah Montana was a brilliant x86 assembly programmer on the down low.

That got me thinking, maybe I could do what MattKC did and embed the image into the QR code directly. Of course, you can't open it without special software because opening binaries from QR codes is generally a huge security risk. But I thought it'd be a fun project, and it was!
