I actually encoded a 256 byte DOS assembly demo (not written by me) into a self decoding plain text batch file, and then for the hell of it encoded that into a QR code.
Again, disclaimer, I didn’t write the original code, but it was fun to convert into a QR code.
And the Commodore 64 can’t decode them. Even if you fed it an algorithm that could decode them, you’d be out the memory of the algorithm.
All sounds fun on paper, but I enjoy storing terabytes of data on the Internet Archive, and sticking that to a QR code, just for fun.
Of course. But a fun (actual) showerthought nonetheless. As I remembered it earlier today, a qr-code (version 40) can hold about 3000 bytes.
Indeed!

MattKC totally made a version of snake that fits in a QR code, his website covers it too
