Webcam Jigsaw Solver in 200 Lines of Python
leighklotz writes "Jeff Breidenbach and 200 lines of Python code have brought us the Glyphsaw Puzzle solver. Hold a puzzle piece up to a webcam, and the display sgiws exactly where in the puzzle the piece belongs. The solver uses the Python Imaging Library (PIL), Numerical Python, and the PARC DataGlyph Toolkit. By the way, you can make your own DataGlyphs."
I know lets name my software on a stupid pathetic old TV series that nobody with even a tiny bit of self respect finds funny anymore apart from stupid Americans and idiotic Germans. It's highly stimulating lefist wacky zany humour ironically about highly educated and priviledged English people jumping about appeals to those who code. It is on their wavelength. Also I will make my whitespace meaningful unlike every other language on Earth. Ho ho ho I am so clever. It is so cool. yay I am in my own little world and prefer life here.
Years later the only useful app written Python is bittorrent. That tells you something.
If *BSD is to 8orning. Now I have
But it's still misleading to say "only 200 lines of Python" when really all of the module imports add up to thousands of lines. This isn't a downside of course, but such a description makes the program sound simpler than it is.
You're just bitter because Python fucked your mother.
Let it go, man. Move on.
