Sometimes I Make Things...
Sometimes I Make Things...: "JTAG (pun intended) is a small program written in C which reads input from a Wacom SD-510C tablet, pictured below, and displays the animated dripping image using the functionality provided by the SDL and SDL_gfx libraries. This project was inspired by the Graffiti Research Lab's awesome Laser Tag project. Since my laptop's video card and webcam aren't exactly too great, I wound up with a ridiculously low frame rate and trouble tracking the laser when running their software. Since I don't exactly have money lying around for a better laptop and webcam, I dropped $40 (including shipping from CA...) on an old Wacom tablet and wrote my own software."
