I just did.
I will block (or discourage) writing on timing bits and stuff and limit writes on format bits. It seems that I need to implement my own QR functions to properly check every feature manually
I am also in the process of manually calculating a QR code and drawing it on paper to understand the format better. (pretty fun activity ngl)
Btw the thing I am building is an app that would help manually create qr code art.
RGB is not feasible because the aim of the app is to be a monochrome first QR art creator.
The art may be monochrome but the readers interpreting the QR (the part you are supposed to be testing) are almost certainly RGB. If you are not testing from the point of view of a camera reading the image, you are leaving a blind spot, no pun intended, and are not really testing properly.
Great! Knock yourself out!
Ah, right. Not shades of black either then.
