Hi Egan, Unconnected from your scenario the idea of QR code display on an Apple II has a lot potential.
Greetings Oliver,My initial interest in QR codes on the II was more along the lines of a news service or an Apple site of the day. I thought I could do it in BASIC and use 24x24 block/space characters, but unfortunately 24x24 QR codes do not provide enough data. But double-lores is perfect for QR codes.
Something else I was thinking of was a multiple player turn-by-turn game where your moves are converted to QR HTTP PUT strings to be transmitted to a server that would then generate the necessary audio file to transmit back to the //e.
Something that I didn't do for this project was a general purpose QR code generator. My QR codes are actually recomputed bitmaps. I started creating the QR generator first, but it was taking too long (I only get a few hours a weekend to work on this stuff), so I scrapped it for now. Perhaps this summer I'll finish it.
