I was looking at Dave's signatures and noticed his comments went up to 6, correlating with the number of sides on dice, and seemed to favor 4, 5 and 6. This would be a nice use of the camera for pattern and/or dot recognition. And keeping with the "fishing" concept, lets play "ship captain and crew", a dice game that requires you to get a 6, 5 and 4 in that order. Maybe we could use the camera to figure out how to turn the dice to the right orientation and then place them on a "ship" which we could then fill with "fish" (Or something along those lines).

Another dice game that 4, 5 and 6 are important in is "Cee-lo". (Derived from the Chinese game "strung flowers") The moonfish is a Hawaiian food and strung flowers are known as a lei (You know, those flower necklaces) which keeps with the Hawaiian theme.
