So I wrote an engine that exploits my FPS engine and attempts to lower and raise the delay between each iteration to match a specific variable that can be set by a single keystroke. After this season, I will release my code because I have all sorts of feature selections and those features we will never use that could be useful for teaching freshmen the importance of configuration files and the ability to reconfigure on the go.

Actually, let me post a snippet of code

PHP Code:

the variables I can change on the go:

bool readConfig() {
    msg("===Config File Read Started===");
    //create a new ifstream from IOS to read the file
    ifstream fin(confLocationToUse);
    //check if the file is open
    if (fin.is_open()) {
        //read the file to the variables
        //one variable is read per line
        fin >> trackTargets;
        fin >> trackBalls;
        fin >> trackOtherRobots;
        fin >> useNiftyInterface;
        fin >> calculateDistance;
        fin >> unmodifiedFeed;
        fin >> showFPS;
        fin >> onboard;
        fin >> captype;
        fin >> capdev;
        fin >> imageWidth;
        fin >> imageHeight;
        fin >> camFOV;
        fin >> pi;
        fin >> uri;
        fin >> staticTarget_width;
        fin >> staticTarget_height;
        fin >> staticTarget_distanceFromFloor;
        fin >> dynamicTarget_width;
        fin >> dynamicTarget_height;
        fin >> dynamicTarget_distanceFromFloor;
        fin >> arena_ballheight;
        fin >> arena_ballwidth;
        fin >> cam_distanceFromFront;
        fin >> cam_distanceFromFloor;
        fin >> redAlliance;
        fin >> target_hueslidermin;
        fin >> target_hueslidermax;
        fin >> target_satslidermin;
        fin >> target_satslidermax;
        fin >> target_valslidermin;
        fin >> target_valslidermax;
        fin >> target_accuracy;
        fin >> target_blurKernelSquare;
        fin >> target_minArea;
        fin >> target_maxArea;
        fin >> ball_hueslidermin;
        fin >> ball_hueslidermax;
        fin >> ball_satslidermin;
        fin >> ball_satslidermax;
        fin >> ball_valslidermin;
        fin >> ball_valslidermax;
        fin >> ball_accuracy;
        fin >> ball_blurKernelSquare;
        fin >> ball_minarea;
        fin >> ball_maxarea;
        fin >> ball_minsides;
        fin >> ball_maxsides;
        fin >> maxfframes;
        fin >> lockFPS;
        //close the file properly to save the changes and dismount the file, preventing corruption
        fin.close();
        //debug
        msg("Configuration Read Successfully!");
        //return a true for succeed
        return 1;
    } else {
        msg("Read Failure!");
        return 0;
    }
}


The feature selection:
void featureList() {
    //clear the screen
    nl(32);
    //list the available features and their statuses
    //draw a lovely interface
    msg("====================================");
    msg("===========Feature List=============");
    msg("Name           ||   ID   || Enabled ");
    msg("===============++========++=========");
    msg("Track Targets? ||    1   ||    " + bool2str(trackTargets));
    msg("------------------------------------");
    msg("Track Balls?   ||    2   ||    " + bool2str(trackBalls));
    msg("------------------------------------");
    msg("track Robots?  ||    3   ||    " + bool2str(trackOtherRobots));
    msg("------------------------------------");
    msg("calc Distance? ||    4   ||    " + bool2str(calculateDistance));
    msg("------------------------------------");
    msg("Interface?     ||    5   ||    " + bool2str(useNiftyInterface));
    msg("------------------------------------");
    msg("LiveFeed       ||    6   ||    " + bool2str(unmodifiedFeed));
    msg("------------------------------------");
    msg("saves directory||    7   ||    1");
    msg("------------------------------------");
    msg("Show FPS       ||    8   ||    " + bool2str(showFPS));
    msg("------------------------------------");
    msg("FPS Engine     ||    9   ||    " + bool2str(fpsEngine));
    msg("====================================");
    msg("0 = done; press the ID with [RETURN]");
    msg("         to toggle value!           ");
    msg("====================================");
    msg("==========Saves Directory===========");
    msg(image_uri);
    msg("====================================");
} 


I am overpowering my program to the point where no team (except those who dare) would ever use every single one of them. Hopefully when my code is released, it will be quite educational for EVERYONE. I even have detailed comments almost every other line of code!

I have some exports of what the program can do so far too
