I wanted to do a screenshot series of my prototype, but I didnt wanted to play with my hands tapping periodically the screenshot key. So I wrote a two liner which does this for me automatic, so here it is:

Code:

Its not a big deal, but such odds and ends make life easier. Do you know when you rush with your finger to the screenshot key to capture at any moment the perfect screenshot and it was too late? This is the solution... play your game and dig out of the bunch of screenshots you made the PERFECT one.

It works*

*doesnt influence the gameplay with 2 seconds intervals and 800x600 resolution.

I like this idea... Now if Only I could figure out how to take all
the random screen shots and turn them into a video it would be awesome.

I have thought about for instance making a video showing my
player hand touch the buttons inside my elevator.
( Just hands so it can be re-used)
Then taking this slew of images and somehow converting
it to video.

Sorry not trying to ramble to much off topic..



At anyrate this Is Indeed a great Conribution
no more sore hands!

maybe you can use windows moviemaker, if you have that, I thought that's installed automaticly with windows? You can individualy place pictures or video's in there, and convert it to a movie. I have never really tried it however, just though to let you know

Yes, this works really great, you can add some effects too with windows moviemaker, it's simple yet effective. You could also place all screenshots behind eachother there and save as movie, it's quite some work though ...

Cheers
