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 ;)"
Nice easter egg
@Weirneir Low key disappointed
Also worth mentioning at 19:08 it says "Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself." Tons of little easter eggs
I did that too ;-;
All QR codes have an Easter egg
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 ;)"

File names are not part of the file. They exist in the file formatting on the storage media not the actual file contents. You can test this by changing file names and checking file sizes to see that it doesn’t change.
Z1PLOKK the file doesn’t contain its own name. It’s not part of the QR code. The file system contains the name, which you have to supply at time of scan. On FAT file system for example file names are pre allocated to 11 characters. Changing the name doesn’t affect the size of the FAT meta data at all. Names are labels in the file system not part of the file itself. Yes the data exists somewhere, but not as part of the file.
short answer: yes
long answer: it's hard and complicated and the amount of material you have to work with is tiny but yes.
tysm
Thx for saving me watching a 20 minute video
@@adzin0093 I mean MattKC literally puts it in the beginning.
One sentence is the long version?
@@ydorb4752 actual long answer: due to restrictions with limited space on the code, that combined with the amount of effort you would need to put in and the types of games you would even be able to create with such limited capacity for action and input for commands and goals to the point where creating a simple game like snake (might not even be able to do pong) that has relatively really simple and very light code is difficult, it might not really be worth the effort but yes you can.
I really appreciate that every single qr code in this video, including the version 40 one, is a working qr code.
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)
just split the code into 11 QR codes then run all executables
One of the simplest!? We have the whole Atari and clones library before that
in fact game cartidges could be thought as microscopical qr codes, since qrs are much larger they can store way less space up until 2.88kb
Not fun, not a fact
Can't believe you called them """colored""" games... It's 2023 bruh, get woke.
Recommendtions: "Can you fit a whole game in a QR code?"
"Yes".

This really shows how much we take sprites, polygons, or anything else that involves graphics in any shape or form, for granted these days.
My first thought upon seeing the title was "Probably, so long as you do it in assembly code." I'm actually shocked I was right, considering how little I know about programming. Neat vid, thanks for making it! The channel Dave's Garage has a really neat video where he tries to write the smallest functioning program he can in assembly code, highly recommend to anyone who likes stuff like this
If anyone’s wondering, the QR code in the thumbnail says this: *“Nope, this isn't the game. You'll have to watch the video for that ;).”*
And the thumbnail that’s turned sideways almost like a diamond at the beginning of the video says “sub to MattKC”. And then the one with coolmathgames, sends you to coolmathgames.com

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
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!
Finally, a video that answers a question right when I click it
this video and also daily dose of internet
This should be the standard practice. And then I stay BECAUSE I already know the answer... I want to know why and how. 😂
Yes
I know
yess because most youtubers think you cant read the title of the video and take 5 minuites to explain what they are doing
Fun Fact: The QR-code in the thumbnail says: "Nope, this isn't the game. You'll have to watch the Video for that ;)"
yea haha
I tried it when you said that. It works!
yeah lol i tried it before i looked at the comments
And the one at the end is the Darth Plagueis The Wise copypasta
Lol TF
You cheeky man, i scanned the thumbnail
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.
2007: Can it run Crysis?
2020: Snake in a QR code
2107: Crysis in a QR code.
The way i see it you can do it right now. Like in the same way you had to install big software using many diskettes, you basically can do the same thing with many codes. But i doubt that you could magically increase the data storing capacity of QR codes. It's not like in 2107 you'll carry all your TB of porn on a small sticker in your wallet in case the internet is down.
@@somnorila9913 *doubt*
Somnorila Im pretty sure that in some form NAND flash memory could be converted into a very thin form, so yeah you probably could carry around terabytes of data on a sticker 1 day

“When will we ever even use the math we learn in high-school?”
Well, it depends on your jobs for living
If you don't want to become a game developer, scientist in neuron networks or something like that, you don't need that much high level math, when talking about programming
when we finally meet that one boy buying 200 eggs with 50 cent, 20 cent and 10 cent coins
What if we replace algebra with coding... Maybe I will enjoy school more and it will actually be helpful
Math is for those with high ambitions. You have to choose to use higher level math, it’s not required. Most people don’t have high ambition, they just accept whatever occupation they have and become complacent. Working their 9-5 until they die.

People after seeing this:
Can you fit a whole virus in a QR code?
Yup i was like someone could abuse the hell out of this by making a virus
Yeah in theory it should be really easy, all you gotta do is make a tiny program that simply downloads and executes another program or additional code on launch. As for fitting an entire virus in a QR code I doubt it’s possible but maybe I’m wrong
As long as QR scanner don't execute the data it just scanned, you got time to examine it before you decide to run it or not.
Patrick Chen No yeah that’s true but a standard android QR code could probably link to some virus download and use some exploit in the android os to automatically run it (or at least hope the user opens it)
