Description

I haven't added a project in forever. But recently I thought "How cool would it be to make a real portal turret"? Well, I made something like it; A motion detection program. It even acts like the real thing by making sounds and moving the "aim" in a accurate fashion. Tell me guys what you think! You'll need: Python 2.5, Pygame 1.8.1 or higher, PIL, and VideoCapture0.9.2 or higher AND OF COURSE A WEBCAM!!! BTW SOME ONE TOOK MY CODE AND MADE IT THEIR OWN! DO NOT DO THIS! ASK FOR PERMISSION FIRST!

Changes

This version has the ability to save pictures or go into a silent "Watch Mode", and also can be killed when the camera is covered (only when not in watch mode). NOTE: DELETE THE OLD ONE! ITS NOW USELESS. YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhFwzt5ub84

if the background is an object (a picture) I can move with the movement of the hand?

A tutorial? I guess once and a while, but why would I need a tutorial for this? Just curious :P. Thanks guys. BTW to install VideoCapture, you'll need to go to this link: http://videocapture.sourceforge.net/ It says to place the folder with your version of python (ie 2.4 is the folder python24)into the folder CONTAINING your python folder. It's probably in the top level of your main drive. It will have the same name as the folder mentioned above, but still place that folder next to your folder. It will ask if you want to replace or yada yada.. just press "Yes to All". It doesn't replace anything, it just putc the modules and stuff in the correct places. TADA! VideoCapture is now installed. :)

All solved, it works very well! Dylan you ever thought about a tutorial? You think you can make to acknowledge the hand even when it stops?
