POLL: Most useful features

[GrAnd]

This forum has a such cool feature as poll. So, I decided to start this one (as a test).
Did I miss something?

An "All of the Above"?

exactly
I chose the top 10 but still not enough.

[a710is]

yea you've missed video zoom, shutter speed overrides, high speed flash

Video zoom - it's just a script
Shutter speed overrides - added
High speed flash - Does CHDK have flash override?

[a710is]

to me video zoom is a feature
now you can take flash pictures at any speed. before, if I chose flash it would not set the speed at less than 1/500s
ok I said it wrong it's flash in high speed photos.

And GRIDS! You forgot GRIDS!!

You are absolutely right! Added.

Hi
hopefully I won't get nailed to the wall when I ask to get rid of the games in future releases of CHDK.

KEEP THE GAMES!!

 

Next you're going to want to get rid of the way cool flashlight mode. Then if I get eaten by a bear while out backpacking I'll only have you to blame. See??

Hmmm... I forgot to mention the flashlight... no bears in my area

btw: What kept you from voting for games on top of this thread?

Have you implemented the chess? 
Or you just mean Reversi?

The code for a chess game is not long, it is just a fitness function to evaluate if one move is better than other. The problem with this kind of games is that you need a lot of memory to store a search tree with millions of leaves, each one representing a legal configuration of the chess board (even your movement or your opponent's). For example, a game like tic tac toe has a tree with around 300,000 leaves.

It may be possible to implement a chess game in the camera but if the memory is limited then the search tree is going to be small, in other words the "computer" would only calculate a limited number of future moving options and is going to be a pretty dumb chess player. (This could be very convinient, given my chess playing skills).

seeing that problems it is very handy that we don't need chess on the cams

maybe it's possible to develop a game like MOZZIES that came out a few years ago for the siemens symbian based mobile phone SX1. you have to shoot mosquitos by using the built-in camera. the software calculated your movement and thus the mosquitos were shot according to your movement and precision. here's a screenshot:

since we already have motion detection it shouldnt be very hard to create a game like that. oh, and not only games, i guess there are "useful" applications using that "feature" possible as well
