Shush its a secret lol

Secret Codie

I woke up and for some reason I couldnt get this idea out of my head so I had to make it. I had an idea of creating a system kind of like a bar code or those QR code things but really small and this is what I came up with.



The idea is that you type a short message and then it gets saves as a tiny little image 15x15 pixels in size and then send it to someone or put it on your website somewhere etc. People can then get your image and open it in this app which will convert the image back into a message so they can read what it says.

Its pretty basic but kind of awesome at the same time :lol:

Here is an image with a hidden message I made for you to try out.

And the main app itself

Remember dont tell anyone..its a secret :P

Its great Ill make my own version that updates the image in realtime
Your ideas are just awesome :lol:

Thats your challenge for the weekend then..make an amazing secret/hidden code reader/writer app. Maybe it would be possible to password protect them aswell somehow so only "friends" can read certain ones..be great for posting on facebook and stuff wouldnt it lol.

I think its a good idea and with a bit of development it could be something pretty darn good cooll;

I think I could have an attempt at making one like that, it works kind of like a binary converter but converting the colour codes into strings and each pixel of the image has a separate code and then there is a library for the codes

You gotta make a tut on how to do this!

[MrAksel]

Okay here is a start, without encryption

yaaa!!!

well done people

love the concept

For the first time ever, I am absolutely astonished by such a simple program. I have no idea how to make something like this.

So... as AnoPem said, you really should make a tutorial for how to create such a program.

I'm guessing you could assign a specific color to each letter of the alphabet, and then write it to an image. However, that might take too long. Another way of doing this would be to convert the text to binary, and then only have two possible color values for the image.

From what it looks like cody used the first method because it's all colourful and stuff and Aksel used the second one because it is only in b/w.
