Who's up for making a program to convert a picture of the calculator screen into tokens for a program? Then he could just copy it via camera or webcam Smile

Alternatively, a program to make QR codes. Might as well implement a technology designed for this sort of thing.
EDIT: No longer relevant to this forum topic. Cheers! Smile

That sounds like a legit project idea! It could map token codes to pixels, and have identifying marks in the corners. If it won't all fit in one image, there could be an indicator to note "1 of 5, 2 of 5", etc.

I'm on my phone and out of time; does someone want to move this to another thread? (Sorry for the deviation of topic; thanks for the idea)

QR Codes don't work exactly like that, they have quite a bit of error protection (doubled and sometimes more yet data) but it wouldn't require nearly as many variables as just outputting a potentially random set of pixels to the screen. Would be easier as well because of how many QR code readers there already are.
it is ok, if you would like to keep the topic on this thread, it is ok.


To keep things on topic, I'll go ahead and split this topic. Smile


There are two types of people in the world: those who can extrapolate data from incomplete data
Hi,as for me, I am doing a program to make QR codes these days. Does anyone have experience about this and what tools will you recommend?I am totally a green hand on barcode making field. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi Andy,
Where/how are you trying to generate them? On the computer, or with a calculator, or some other device?

It's a work in progress, and it's not at all optimized, but it's a start.
prgmQ is the main program. "V" is the QR "version" number, an integer from 1 to 11 (11 due to screen limitations on the monochrome. I'll probably add color support later.)

Code:

PROGRAM:Q
:Prompt V
:17+4V->S
:S-7->S
:ClrDraw
:0->K:0->L:prgmQR
:SDeltaX->K:prgmQR
:~SDeltaY->L:0->K
:prgmQR
:Pt-On(K+Xmin+8DeltaX,L+Ymax+DeltaY
:For(K,8,S-2,2
:Pxl-On(6,K
:Pxl-On(K,6
:End
:If V>1:Then
:10+4V->R
:10+4V->theta:prgmQ2
:End
:If V>6:Then
:8+2V->R:prgmQ2
:theta->R:8+2V->theta
:prgmQ2
:6->R:prgmQ2
:theta->R:6->theta:prgmQ2
:R->theta:prgmQ2
:End


Code:
PROGRAM:QR
:Line(K+Xmin,L+Ymax,K+Xmin+6DeltaX,L+Ymax
:Line(K+Xmin,L+Ymax,K+Xmin,L+Ymax-6DeltaY
:Line(K+Xmin+6DeltaX,L+Ymax,K+Xmin+6DeltaX,L+Ymax-6DeltaY
:Line(K+Xmin,L+Ymax-6DeltaY,K+Xmin+6DeltaX,L+Ymax-6DeltaY
:Pt-On(K+Xmin+3DeltaX,L+Ymax-3DeltaY,2
:Pt-On(K+Xmin+3DeltaX,L+Ymax-3DeltaY


Code:
PROGRAM:Q2
:Pxl-On(R,theta
:For(T,~2,2
:Pxl-On(R-2,theta+T
:Pxl-On(R+2,theta+T
:End
:For(T,~1,1
:Pxl-On(R+T,theta-2
:Pxl-On(R+T,theta+2
:End
I'm glad to see that this is actually going somewhere Smile
