hi...
the source only allows to select the driver, dont have anything of motion detection, but, if dont work, did you tried the avicap user library? you can download on: http://www.purearea.net
if dont work the avicap library, its probably that your webcam isnt compatible with video for windows...

I think that your question isnt related with this topic, i made a program that use Video for windows, i never said that i make drivers of webcams to be compatible with Video for Windows, i dont know how to make a driver, sorry.

Why you need a driver for EyeToy? exist dozens of webcams that include its own drivers for windows, and probably better than Eye Toy camera...

Hi,
I tested the iCamPlay samples.. very nice work!

One Problem i've is, that the webcam image is flipped vertical(!).
Is there a Funktion like iCamSetMirror() to flipp the image vertical again?
(Tested on XP with an old ViewQuest M-318 Webcam)

Hi FloHimSelf, are you sure that image its vertical flipped, or horizontal? iCamSetMirror its only for cameras that dont have a hardware flip image on its drivers, you must see on screen like if you are watching on a mirror, if you move to left, you see on mirror (or screen) how you move to left, if you are using iCamSetMirror(#TRUE) and its not like i said, then put a #FALSE value, you probably have a camera with image flip, you can configure this executing iCamCaptureSource(), i have a camera with image flip and its configurable on Source options. But if its really vertical flipped its probably a bug and its a strange bug... another question its the actual version its a little unstable on CPU intensive mode, this weekend i will update to fix this problem...

Hi BalrogSoft,

here is what it looks like:

I don't know how the "iCamPlay - simple motion detection" - Sample looks like normally, but i think there are more problems here..

I updated the cam driver to the latest revision.. still same picture..
The "AviCap" - Sample work fine..

The problems seems more clear with this screenshot... since i updated to 0.3 version, iCamPlay changed a lot about how to get the webcam image, on version 0.2 you can use any type of color format 12 bits, 8 bits, etc, but on 0.3 you must use 24 bits format, if your camera supports this, execute iCamCaptureFormat() before iCamSetCallbackAddress(@VideoStreamCallback()) and somewhere on this option window you must select RGB 24, you probably are using I420 that are 12 bits color format. This little bug will be updated soon...

Newbie here, bumping up an old thread.

I have been looking for a webcam game like this for such a long time, and as soon as I found this one the link doesn't work.

Everytime I click the link I get an error.

Could someone email me [ Crashb65@yahoo.com ] or send it to me over AIM? [ oddblacksheepx ]

__________________________

I also got the winamp game, and..I am unsure how to use it. I place the DLL files in the right directories, but my webcam picture still doesn't show up. Anything special I am suppose to do?

The link that appear on this post is old, when icamplay was a simple program, now is a dll library, if you want to get it, go to my web and fill the request form to receive, but not have games, only demos of how to use the library... About WinAmp plugin, i dont understand "my webcam picture still doesnt show up", your problem its similar to the screenshot of Flohimself?
