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

@@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.

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.
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

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.
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.
As a developer myself, I would have accepted the JS/HTML version as a valid non-clickbait solution.

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.

“When will we ever even use the math we learn in high-school?”

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.

I know this video is old, but I just thought I'd share some thoughts on the project. Great video, great concept and great job overall in implementing it. I absolutely love things like this.
If you ever decide to revisit an assembly implementation, I would suggest opening up a copy of the Intel x64 software developers manual, Volume 2. It contains the full opcode reference for both x64 (in all available modes) and IA-32, including the number of bytes occupied by a given instruction. The instruction size can depend on what operands you're using with it, and thanks to their CISC architecture, some instructions can easily be substituted with others that produce a smaller machine code footprint. It may also be beneficial to look at some of the techniques used in crafting shell code, two of which I detailed here already. The name of the game in producing shell code, if you aren't familiar, is typically writing machine code with a small memory footprint, while avoiding nul-bytes -- with the smallest execve shellcode that I've seen occupying only 21 bytes. I don't want to say looking into this would definitely be helpful, since obviously Linux and Windows take vastly different stances on how to perform calls to their respective kernels.
And obviously, as others have stated, running your compiler without assembling would be helpful, or alternatively just disassembling it with something like objdump -d (may require setting up a MinGW environment with something like msys2 -- I'm not sure).
Then if you see any improvements to the executable after applying some handwritten optimizations to replace or modify the instructions with longer machine code output, you could apply crinkle again for compression.
I'm not terribly familiar with development on Windows these days, but I do recall that rather than using interrupts to interface with the Win32 API, like you see on POSIX systems, you have to call the user space function which gets linked to the program, and serves as a trampoline to get to the kernel-level implementation. So I'm not sure how well that can be optimized, or if it really can at all. It would, in my opinion, be much easier to optimize on Linux (WSL2 should also handle it just fine once configured correctly), but that's just because I find development on Linux to be much less of a headache overall.
On a side note, QR codes can definitely be used to embed malicious content -- I will have to look later, but I'm pretty sure I read an article, orr possibly a video here on UA-cam, a few years ago about overlaying malicious QR codes on top of legitimate ones (using two different sizes).
Anyhow, great work again.

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)
