using webcam to get players face
Author
i was wondering how do you go about getting the a screenshot from the webcam for the players face , so other online players can see what they actually look like etc :D
I dunno, but I'd guess a google of "YOUR_PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE_HERE webcam" or "YOUR_PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE_HERE connect to webcam" will give you some good insight.
I believe you want to look into capturing an image from a Twain compliant device. At least that'd probably be the easiest way of going about it.
If you can find it at a bookstore, I believe Game Programming Gems Vol 6 has a chapter about webcams. I believe they discuss algorithms to detect movement and such but you'll be able to find out how they get the webcam stream from their source.
