osnap: a simple webcam snapshooter

Requirements

To run osnap.wlua, you'll need:

• Lua
• IUPLua
• IMLua
• CDLua
• LuaGL

On Windows, you can get all this and more by installing Lua for Windows.

Outside of Windows, check your local package manager (which will most likely have packages for Lua) and/or Sourceforge (there are some good tips out there for setting up the files you can get from Sourceforge if you search for them).

Running

Run osnap.wlua with a Lua interpreter like wlua.exe for Windows.

Usage

Press the "oh snap" buttons on either side of the frame (or the spacebar) to take a picture. (It will be saved as an epoch-time-named JPEG in the working directory.)

Drag across the center of the preview horizontally (or press the H key) to flip it.

Press F11 to toggle fullscreen.

Roadmap

• Sooner:
  • Fancy canvas-based buttons
  • Smarter keyboard input / focus handling
    • Right now I just giving all canvases the same key handler.
  • Access to camera options dialog
• Later:
  • Overlay(s)
