Piñata Vision barcode/Name bits
- To do: Determine if there is a name length byte, and if so, which row contains the data. Work on correctly decoding GoodVariants names.
Name data
Based on released GoodVariants and Blackariants cards, encoded names are 3 to 9 characters long, the longest (and only 9-character name) being Francesca.
Matching names
The following cards share pinata names, and belong to the same (row 2) obfuscation set.
Cards that also share matching variant data have nearly identical row 2 barcodes, differing in only a few bits.

Note that the first two cards share the same variant data, and that their row 2 barcodes are nearly identical.

Again, the first two cards share the same variant data, and their row 2 barcodes are nearly identical.
The third card happens to share a matching pinata name, but its row 2 barcode is obfuscated differently. Although name length does seem to be one factor in row 2 obfuscation set selection, another factor (such as variant bits or GoodVariants ID) may jointly determine how row 2 is obfuscated.
Also notable (but unrelated) is that the row 1 barcodes for the two Juicygoose cards are identical. The cards do share the same species ID (and use cost). It's unknown at this point if the matching names have any influence on the row 1 barcode, but the differing variant data appears to be completely unrelated to row 1.

Non-matching names
The following cards belong to the same (row 2) obfuscation set, but have differing pinata names. However, their names are all the same length, raising the possibility that a) there is a length "byte" for the name field, and b) the row 2 obfuscation set selection involves bits from that field.

Decoded names
Drop row 1 from the barcode to focus on row 2. Change IDs to match the ASCII value of the name's 2nd character (e.g., Kieran, i = 105 decimal).

Repeating the same process to look for columns matching ASCII values for the following 3 characters, we can read name data from the barcode. It looks like the name field has an (undiscovered) length "byte," since the name data does not appear to be zero-terminated.

Unfortunately, the good (other) variants don't appear to keep their name data in the same location. One possibility is that the GoodVariant cards have additional data located before the name data, which shifts the underlying name data in the structure.
