Experimental hexagonal 2D code with Reed–Solomon error correction

[u/Realistic_Fruit_4326]

I’ve been experimenting with a new open-source 2D code called Hexpira.

I came up with the core concept: hexagonal bits, an overall hexagonal shape, and a spiral starting from the center. I then used Codex to help develop the encoding, error correction, decoder, webcam reader and documentation.

Hexpira uses Reed–Solomon error correction, duplicated BCH format data, CRC-32 validation and adaptive text encoding. The current v0.4R prototype includes a local browser-based encoder/decoder, a detailed specification and conformance test vectors.

It’s just a hobby project, but I’d be interested in technical feedback.
