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. Hey you never know, leading double lives was her specialty right?

I scanned the QR code on the thumbnail and it says
"Nope, this isn't the game, You'll have to watch the video for that ;)"

Hot compression tip: rename snake.exe to snek.exe for that extra byte

*1: Turn off WiFi, 2: Scan QR, 3: Epic Dino Game!* 🤯

Can we appreciate the fact that he got straight to the point

Recommendtions: "Can you fit a whole game in a QR code?"

"Yes".

Me: "Understandable, have a great day."

Finally, a video that answers a question right when I click it

[moni_dt]

I really appreciate that every single qr code in this video, including the version 40 one, is a working qr code.

[CaveyMoth]

This really shows how much we take sprites, polygons, or anything else that involves graphics in any shape or form, for granted these days.

He's a genius! His thumbnail, with a QR Code, that I scanned literally says "Nope, this isn't the game. You'll have to watch the video for that ;)"
Give him big thumbs up for his trick.

"Can you fit a whole game into a QR code?"
- *YES!*

Fun fact: The 2.88KB QR Code mentioned at the beginning, you'd need just under 11 of those to fit Super Mario Bros, one of the simplest colored games of all time (for reference, the size of the actual ROM file is 31KB and the the precise amount is 10.77 2.88KB QR codes)

I love these high effort videos of guys doing random seemingly impossible stuff no one asked for but everyone is curious to see. I catch myself watching a lot of these videos lately

[thatguybrody]

short answer: yes
long answer: it's hard and complicated and the amount of material you have to work with is tiny but yes.

[apiian]

The first QR code wasn't a rick roll...
That's a missed opportunity.

[armin.herold]

I really love that you answered the question in the first frames! This really satisfied me lmfao. You got a sub and just for that I'll watch the entire video.

Ok, I’ll be honest.
This video has been on my feed for quite some time, and finally I clicked it thinking “too long, I’ll just skip around to find the answer and see the final product”.
As soon as I click, I’m met with an instant reply to the question, and that not only sets up the video in a great way, but also makes me instantly 100x times more interested in the topic.
I ended up watching every second of it, despite knowing literal basic C from highschool, great project.

[blackpanther.]

*clicks on video*
"YES"
"nice alright thank you"

[ripudude]

Appreciate the answer being given immediately.

[csharpcoffee]

As a developer myself, I would have accepted the JS/HTML version as a valid non-clickbait solution.
So you know, mad props for going the extra mile!

[earuendil]

Wow, the beginning of the video is great. Straight to the point, answering the question in the title. You have me hooked already.
