Toric codes, introduced by Hansen in 2002, generalize (weighted) Reed-Muller codes on other toric varieties than projective spaces. They consist of evaluation codes of monomials at tuples of non-zero coordinates, which correspond to the points on the dense torus contained in the associated toric variety. Our aim is to ‘projectivise’ these codes, in the same spirit that turns a Reed-Muller codes into a projective one: we consider codes obtained by evaluating global sections on the whole set of the rational points of a toric variety. We focus on simplicial toric varieties, which come with a nice quotient description, and we give an explicit construction of projective codes on them, as well as a combinatorial way to determine their parameters. 'Projectivizing' toric codes opens new possibilities of getting codes with excellent parameters, by extending some champion classical toric codes geometrically.
