The Goal

I want to create software that can easily be used as a template to mod other games in the same way. This template should allow many other games to work with a webcam via passing input from movement into the game with minimum modifications required.

Note

This software is still in early development, check the change logs for more information. This project contains the Zlib license, it is short and sweet, so give it a read. I welcome any help you want to offer.

Running and Installing

Note: Only tested on Windows 11 using DroidCam as a Webcam.
