I like Pilsner Urquell, that's about as far as my understanding goes, but the ap looks pretty cool.

What the HELL went wrong in test 2? Did you code that one in FreeBASIC? :D

So practically speaking, what could this be used for?

Pete

@Pete Awesome things, obviously. If someone else wants to take some time with the code I just posted in my API collection then they could turn it into a camera application that takes photos or records videos. They could even mess with some compression values and make smaller files from it. My code is simple right now but someone else can run with it and make something great.

I mean I guess I could envision a game, played over Skype, with the QB64 app including a webcam, so both players could see each other, on the game screen. That's all I got.

Pete

@Pete Also, part of my endeavor is to show everyone that the WinAPI is easier than they think. I churned out this webcam program in one day. Took several days of research, yes, but still only one day of coding.

Well done mr Spriggs! Hats of to you sir! VERY COOL

Ashish · « **Reply #10 on:** October 03, 2020, 05:07:35 am »

Great Job!!!

OOOoo this looks nice.

Next hat trick. Make a zoom like interface with encryption end to end. For two way video. Got to get the audio working too.
