I wanted a timelapse program that</p>\n <ul>\n <li>Ran natively on Linux.</li>\n <li>Produces a screen shot of the desktop with an image of my webcam inline &#8211; not the other way round.</li>\n <li>Be something that I can start in a terminal and forget about.</li>\n <li>Not spit out a movie at the end and decide on what format or quality it should be &#8211; instead it should give me a bunch of images in a numbered sequence that I can then concatenate with ffmpeg or something myself.</li>\n </ul>\n <p>So I wrote PyCatcher, poking it for half an hour every day for the past week. I got my webcam displaying inline last night, so while it&#8217;s not as feature rich as I have planned it does work.</p>\n <p>If this sound relevant to ones interests you can grab it here- <a href=\"http://github.com/Fiona/pycatcher/tree/master\">http://github.com/Fiona/pycatcher/tree/master</a></p>\n <p>This Ludum Dare I&#8217;ll be using PyCatcher for timelapse and writing my game in Python/Pygame using my <a href=\"http://code.google.com/p/pygame-fenix\">Pygame-Fenix</a> library to aid development.</p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http://ludumdare.com/compo/tag/fenix/\" rel=\"tag\">fenix</a>, <a href=\"http://ludumdare.com/compo/tag/pycatcher/\" rel=\"tag\">pycatcher</a>, <a href=\"http://ludumdare.com/compo/tag/pygame/\" rel=\"tag\">pygame</a>, <a href=\"http://ludumdare.com/compo/tag/python/\" rel=\"tag\">python</a>, <a href=\"http://ludumdare.com/compo/tag/time-lapse/\" rel=\"tag\">time lapse</a>, <a href=\"http://ludumdare.com/compo/tag/timelapse/\" rel=\"tag\">timelapse</a></p>", "time": "December 4th, 2008 4:28 am", "title": "PyCatcher – Another timelapsy program"}
