I'm known for QR code stuff, and my library, but I have done some abuse of them for fun - I did round pixels rather than rectangular, for example.
The latest abuse was inspired by https://mathstodon.xyz/@divbyzero
His idea was a Truchet style...
I have done some more work on the idea. For a start I did not like the harsh edges and cut circles, so made it slightly different. I also had concerns on the circle hitting the targets as this may cause timing issues perhaps.
Looks good. But I also tried larger and it had trouble reading at an angle, and I think because I had Truchet coded the alignment marks needed on larger codes.
So I made them rectangular, e.g. same code as above with alignment mark intact.
Now it reads better at an angle. (tested on iPhone camera and an app). This allows the 45 degree shown at the top of this blog post.
Do not blame me if you now have a migraine, please.
Oh, and if you are interested, this is created as a proper QR code, but with a grid of black/white circles on top... I have made a video https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9ufN2cpsbPA
Pretty please, can we have a Mondrian style generator?
ReplyDeleteI saw that, and I agree, temped. Maybe some day.
