[pygame] camera module: yuv, hsb, controllers and poc game

[el lauwer <el.lauwer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Since, GSOX is drawing into a close I though I post an other update on  
my progress.

First of all, I have added support for yuv and hsb color output with  
different color depths by using the color transform functions.

I have looked into the flip controller, and the only function I could  
find in the Quicktime API that should be able to do this is  
SGSetChannelMatrix(channel, matrix) [0]. However when I try to set an  
mirror matrix (a scale + translate matrix) it return an error that  
indicates that the transformation matrix isn't supported.
Here is the code sniped:

MatrixRecord matrix;
Fixed minusOne = Long2Fix(-1L);
Fixed PlusOne = Long2Fix(1L);
Fixed zero = Long2Fix(0L);

ScaleMatrix(matrix, fixed1, minusOne, 0, 0);
TranslateMatrix(matrix, Long2Fix(self->boundsRect.right), 0);
SGSetChannelMatrix(self->channel, &matrix);

You can find more context in the file src/camera_mac.m:133

Nirav, since you joined Apple, maybe you can ask the good people in  
Cupertino, how they intended this to be done :P

In case there is no way that qt support this controller, should I just  
keep them out and use transform.flip instead?


I have been testing the camera games by nirav (bouncy bal,  
pointillism, reflectionrejection), pointillism runs very slow, about  
2,5 frames a second, and the other don't display an image frame. I  
haven't found the problem yet.
