Project Goal
The goal of this project is to implement a simple game of "Pong" on the Beagle Board that allows a user to play the game by gesturing with their hands rather than using a mouse or keyboard.

System Setup
Currently the hand-tracking and Pong games run in different processes. Hand-tracking requires a picture called "sshou.bmp" in the /home/user-name directory that is used as a reference for the histogram that tracks hands. The hand-tracking writes to a temporary pipe in /usr/yval, which the Pong game then reads the latest value from. To run, start the hand-tracking program in a root shell, then the Pong game in a separate root shell. Press [Spacebar] to begin a game, then [Spacebar] to release a ball. Moving a hand up and down in front of the camera causes the user's paddle to move and reflect that. The user's paddle will not move if there is not a ball "in play".
Task List
Below is an estimated list of tasks to complete Task list will be updated as necessary
| Task | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pong on the Beagle Board | Complete | Port a simple game of classic pong onto the Beagle Board with keyboard/mouse input |
| Webcam interface with the Beagle Board and OpenCV | Complete | Get the Beagle Board to recognize the webcam and perform basic functionalities from OpenCV (connect to camera, snapshot, etc.) |
| Refactor Pong | Complete | Refactor Pong to work with a different input (camera) |
| Track hands with camera and OpenCV | Complete | Track user's hands using OpenCV library functions on the Beagle Board |
| Interface tracking camera with pong | Complete | Join the tracking and game into one system such that users can play pong with their hands |
