PixelCode

Inspiration

binary encoding of audio files

What it does

encodes and decodes any file as an image, allowing for uploading to image hosting service

How we built it

rust for encoding the images where each pixel represents 3 bytes of information. file meta data being stored as comments. then using python to run scripts and interact with web apis

Challenges we ran into

steep learning curve for Rust and using Oauth2 for google drive

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully writing our first rust script and integrating our project with google drive

What we learned

Rust can have a very steep learning curve but the performance is well worth it.

What's next for PixelCode

Expand to mp4 encoding so it can be uploaded to YouTube for unlimited storage
