so I’ve been trying to get a larger painting program working on the raspberry Pi and I was using a different method in the past (FBO) but at the time that wasn’t working like I wanted it to regarding coloring so I switched to this method using setbackgroundauto
this program works perfectly on my computer (mac 10.14.6)
but seems to not work like I want it to regarding painting onto the screen
so I boiled it down to its simplest form in order to post on here
again when I run this on my computer it works as I would expect a circle gets painted onto the screen when I pressed the mouse left button
and when I press the right button it clears that painting
so I’ve done some replacing in my original script and just uploaded a version onto a RPI and it works! the alpha blending seems to be nicer using this method to for some reason
and here we are after an additional update I did a live stream yesterday talking about the basics
Scrawl is alive and doing all kinds of fun things
RGBA spotlight
Video painter
shape creation tool
this is for my wife and I’s community theatre that she started just as much as it is for use in video synthesis it has many homes as it does so much.
I’ve got a colorizer app up on my github too but it is very fledgling I need to update with the one from computer it will essentially be a dual channel colorizer with a mixing section.
then I’ve got a variable quadrants mirroring thing that is very fun to mess with (especially with feedback)
I’m also working on a very specific kind of strobe (obviously simple strobing or gating the video can be fun but this will be very different as we are going to be looking at the video itself for information as well as doing some keying and frame difference)
after that is secret but boy oh boy am I excited about it
so many other people are doing stuff with feedback and that is cool so I’m not really trying to mess around with that stuff
I’m more into processing and shape creation than making color soup (which is a good tool to have but isn’t what I always want)
I’ve been on a bit of a programming break for a couple months but I’m excited to get back into it again
