Animal Crossing New Leaf is a game for 3DS, and during the play, if you keep on contacting Able Sisters, you will become able to design your own cloth, hat, flag, etc, and also enables sharing with your friends by using QR code.
I have created Android app for reading / writing this QR code, with design tool so you can design using your android device. I will leave data structure for QR code I’ve analyzed during development, for somebody who might want.
Below is movie for my app for reference.
Data is encoded to QR code in binary format, with multiple QRs for some designs, which is a rare type of QR code usage.
Download excel file below if you are interested.

I’ve been trying to read in animal crossing codes for my own purpose, and I can’t get the palette colors to load correctly. I’ve verified that I have the correct bytes, but I’m not sure how to turn them into colors. For example:

According to your QR reader, the palette is:
0x71 0x74 0x78 0x11 0x14 0x07 0xb6 0xa4 0xa6 0x32 0x34 0x36 0x0f 0xd4 0x67
In integer values:
113 116 120 17 20 7 182 164 166 50 52 54 15 212 103
Several of those are out of range of the 159 long list of colors, and only color 5 (0 based index) is correct. Any tips?
Sorry, color info was incorrect.
I’ve updated color info in excel.
Color index is not 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,… but 0x1,0x2,0x3,0x4,0x5,0x6,0x7,0x8,0x9,0x10,0x11,…
And monochrome color has index 0x0f,0x1f,0x2f,0x3f,…
See excel for detail.
Thanks for those comments. I have it working for both reading and writing (you can see the generated QR codes here: http://animalxing.com/patternsv3/textures.php).
Still working on updating the creation part to allow custom palettes.
Any chance you’d open-source that PHP code?
Really wish someone would make a program for computers using this. Too poor to actually own any smart phone right now.
I sort of did, it’s located here but not as fully featured as NeFa’s app.
