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 \u2013 Another timelapsy program"}
