Arggh I know exactly what needs doing but it's too frustrating. I'm doing it by hand and I keep ****ing up. I'm sorry but I give up, good luck to those who manage it :)

No, Klinge actually commented on the giveaway itself, but didn't enter. He doesn't seem to own the game, so I thought I'd ask if it was accident.

I didn't even try to make an image to scan it. Since the obvious solution to me (decoding by hand) was acceptable fast.

Also I didn't know much about barcodes and thought they had to be in certain dimensions (like on products).

Side note: What was quite tricky for me was the fact that your puzzle consisted of 431 characters/bits which is a prime number. So at first I couldn't find the right factor to determine the code length for one character. This is all due to the fact that every character is encoded by 11 blocks but the stop which is 13 blocks. I'm quite sure this wasn't intended but it made it impossible for me to get the hang of it without your hint.
