Figured I'd post this here for whatever it might be worth to somebody. With a lot of help from AI was able to introduce a minimap QR code generator into my map. Used for easily posting game results. Started as a wild idea and was able to make it happen after some fun hours spent. Could be used for any number of other ideas, like awarding a player with a harder version of the map or such other things. Probably more cool than it useful though.
Generator is written in an EudEditor epScript plugin. Creates floating Command Centers only viewable on the minimap to form the QR modules. 64x64 map but I'm assuming it could work on a larger map too.
Sandbox files attached.

Nice idea. Can't imagine using it myself, never really liked QR codes even outside of SC, but I like the ingenuity.

Yeah the most useful use case would be for games like God Tower D, where it gives you a encoded token at the end that you can submit to a leaderboard. I think QR would gets more people participating in it. For my map, it's used to send the game results to a custom ladder we play.
Unfortunately there is a limitation though- the URL can only be so long else the QR image becomes too information-dense and more difficult to fit on minimap.
