The light beam example is going great. It turns out it was a bit simpler than I thought. The only thing I need to do now is get this last function down but I must be brain dead or something... All those hours of math have fried my brain! If any of you can help out, my topic is here: Reflecting a point across any line

I did it! You can now move around both the start and end points of the light beam. Here is the new example:

light_better.au3

EDIT: Updated. Added colors and the beam will work either way now.

Too bad I dont have a camera. Also how does it decide where to search for the colors, because it just started at the top left of my screen, and found the first white and then the first black as those were the colors I picked.

Also I have a laptop which the screen resolution is at 1280x800. So may want to add more options.

Hey guys, i'm back. As I said before, you can select any resolution (that was the word... lol I couldnt remember) because I didnt finish it... they all do the same thing, and in the next update that part will be removed... Also I reccomend not choosing any color close to white or black, try to pick odd colors that arent in your room ( I use bright orange and bright cyan markers. Also, I think the search starts at the top left part of the screen, On some part of the windoes light grey color... I'll make it so it starts on the window itself. Time to get working, and erifash, good work, I will check it out...

Yea I had to leave again that friday to pick up my brothers who were at my grandparents house an hour away, and for some reason stayed till sunday... I havent really looked at it since them, I'll work a bit on it now but this weekend I'll have more time

[MikeFez]

I know i havent updated this in a while, basically i just stopped by to say that for now i'm dropping this project, for various reasons. When I said I was going to work on it that weekend, I did, but that same weekend my processor for my new computer got in, and I went and finished it... I plugged in the harddrive and it worked fine, but for some reason it canoot be detected and now I dont know if anything is still on it... I would have posted this earlier but i've been at various family member's houses for a while and didnt get around to it... also forgive me spelling and grammer, i'm in a rush. Hopefully i'll pick it up again someday

Been there XD, I now have many back ups in case of failure, that was one of my better decisions. Edited August 17, 2006 by Vivvic

Lol, Ive been there as well *currently actually* but I run 4 HDD's Windows, Linux, Backup, and Graphic (photoshop, Brushes, Fonts, Stocks, Backgrounds, ETC) and recently my linux drive failed the boot check...so I think Im going to be buying a new HDD

Tiny update, and when I say tiny I mean it. I'm implementing all the simple things as we speak such as ball/paddle detection and also score detection, however these will not appear in the update. I also have a quick question, how do I make it so that you cant move the window (in order to keep the pixle search in the correct area?

While 1
$Winpos = WinGetPos("Title")

$actpos = $Winpos[0]&", "&$Winpos[1]

If not $actpos= "Xcoord, Ycoord" then
     WinMove("Title", X,Y)
Endif

I believe there is an Opt() setting to use coords relative to the window.

*Sigh*, there is, but I just havent been able to get it to work at all. I'm even having trouble getting a damn ball to appear, i'll just do that later though. I updated the script again, literally no changes but the Opt() added in this area:

; Load Camera

$Main = GUICreate("Camera",455,290,0,0, $WS_DLGFRAME)

$cap = DllCall($avi, "int", "capCreateCaptureWindow", "str", "cap", "int", BitOR($WS_CHILD,$WS_VISIBLE), "int", 15, "int", 15, "int", 320, "int", 240, "hwnd", $Main, "int", 1)

$track1 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Track Player 1", 345,15,100)

$track2 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Track Player 2", 345,45,100)

$START = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Start Pong", 345,105,100)

$Quit = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Quit", 345,167.5,100)

$ABOUT = GUICtrlCreateButton ("About", 345,230,100)

WinSetOnTop("Camera", "", 1)

AutoItSetOption ( "GUICoordMode" ,0)

AutoItSetOption ( "MouseCoordMode" ,0)

Damn it. Its 1:52 and I need to get my room cleaned, but i'll be back on trying to get this damned thing working... if anyone wants to tell me what I did wrong, that would be awsome.
