whycode-gen is a tool to generate the WhyCode/WhyCon markers.
To compile it, just type make.
Then, it can generate the markers inside the current working directory.
Simply run the binary followed by a number of ID bits or any other options as
$ ./whycode_gen -h
Usage: whycon-id-gen [-v] -l
whycon-id-gen [-v] [-d <distance>] <bits>
-h Help
-v Verbose while generating canvas
-l Generating the original WhyCon marker
-d Set minimal Hamming distance (default: 1)
-c Draw cross at the marker's centre
-t Tight fit the marker without the white border
