QR-code inception
70 points Hard

My boss read in a magazine that people in China are using QR-codes to pay goods. He thinks it is the future and he wants QR-codes everywhere from the company website to his coffee machine. To meet my new boss requirements, he asked me to write an application generating QR-code. I spent days on it as scope always changes.

Thanks god, the week-end is there and I can forget about these QR-codes. Yesterday, I watched "Inception" by Christopher Nolan, it was great but the night after did not turn well and I got strange dreams.

I am sharing with you a picture I took during my dream (yes I can because I am a hacker). Welcome to my QR-code inception...

Haha this was a very fun challenge! I used pyzbar, it does work with small QR codes, just leave 1 extra pixel each side!

Nightmare... Python: PIL. Had to resize QR codes to 400x400 pixels. Also you have to use only QR codes with white background (use invert function from PIL). Tried to use pyzbar but it wasn't working with that small QR codes (even after resize). ZBar: Decode of extracted QR codes. Powershell: Script to open image files with QR codes in order. Base64 to Image.
