Of course. But a fun (actual) showerthought nonetheless. As I remembered it earlier today, a qr-code (version 40) can hold about 3000 bytes.
Version 40: 177x177 modules, can hold up to 7,089 numeric characters, 4,296 alphanumeric characters, 2,953 bytes of data, or 1,817 kanji characters.
Indeed!
I actually encoded a 256 byte DOS assembly demo (not written by me) into a self decoding plain text batch file, and then for the hell of it encoded that into a QR code.
Again, disclaimer, I didn’t write the original code, but it was fun to convert into a QR code.

MattKC totally made a version of snake that fits in a QR code, his website covers it too
