your other game project 'grab n throw' looks hilarious, what made you think of that? its like a funny 3d version of pong (without stuff coming back)

#12(OP, temp user, forgot to disable the HN procrastination timer) For anyone trying to do this in the future, here's the command to stream from a modern Pi camera module / driver to twitch. IIRC I also had to install the full version of the libcamera tools to use the libav switches. libcamera-vid -v 0 -t 0 --codec libav --libav-format flv -o "rtmp:// / " --rotation 180 --width 1920 --height 1080 --framerate 30 --bitrat…
Update: there's been a bunch of great messages so far, from people all over. But most importantly we've had a ');DROP TABLES;
Did it work?!

Hey, thanks! I was thinking about game ideas while stepping into the shower one day (where all great ideas are born), and "throwing people in a first-person view might be fun?" came across my mind. I mentally fleshed it out a bit, and wrote it down. When the idea I was already working on turned out to not be fun, I shelved that and started working on this instead. When I prototyped the basic throw feel and it already felt fun, I decided to run with it.

#14You need to increase the camera’s exposure time (integration time) and decrease the ISO. Could barely see the screen.

Update 2: The servo's gears are absolutely grinding at the moment

Check out the `--shutter` option for `libcamera-vid`, it allows you to tweak the camera's exposure time which might help with the screen refresh banding. `--shutter 60` sets the exposure time to 60ms, which might be a good starting point.
EDIT: Ah, actually the unit is microseconds, so `60000` would be 60ms

having them fall down with all that ragdoll physics is the best part, also crashing into crowds like bowling balls. anyway, best of luck with it all, seems like a really original and entertaining idea.

Make a few model tables and have a lever on a servo push the tables off the desk upon DROP TABLES.

Hey thanks, this was a good catch. `--shutter 12000` fixes the screen, and is bright but not too bright.
