Roblox Barcode Generator and QR code generator

Help and Feedback Creations Feedback

I’ve always wanted to make a barcode generator on Roblox, and now I have… at least a basic one.

It’s a Code 39 barcode generator (ModuleScript) which takes a string input and converts it into a barcode gui. It’s not the most incredibly useful thing, but I think it’s still pretty nifty.

Here’s the link if anybody is interested: http://www.roblox.com/Code-39-Barcode-Generator-item?id=167064974

I would think using barcodes in games would be against the rules, i remember uploading a shirt with a generic barcode on it and nothing else and it got rejected. This is still really cool, regardless.

That’s pretty cool. Now make a Barcode Decoder

it’d be cool to generate qr codes to export information from roblox since we don’t have access to the clipboard or i/o.

That’s actually my eventual goal, but I decided to start small.

Started on QR codes earlier when I saw this thread… I’ve got the text-to-bitstream converter but I’ve looked everywhere and can’t figure out how I would make the actual symbol…
Edit: I am not smart enough for this…

Thanks for that library! That works perfectly. I’ve added a function to generate a gui.

That’s really neat.
I’d love to see someone make a store based on the roblox catalog which uses this with the assetId at the checkout line
It’d be interesting.

Soon? Maybe… sniff maybe…

While cool in concept, this will definitely get a game put under review considering that it can be used to share any link (including malicious or NSFW ones) through Roblox experiences.
