Windows Version 1.0 Released! - Please use version 1.1 instead

Hello people, I was working on the Windows version of this project about last 10 hours and it is finally working. Actually this release was planning to be online about 4-5 hours later. However, due to floor noise upstairs (I live in an apartment), I was able to wake up earlier than I expected and finished this project far much earlier than it should have been :b

Installation Guide

In order to run this program, you should have Python3(I would suggest you using Python 3.7.x) installed in your PC. Also there are several dependency modules and libraries for this script to work. I would explain those modules and their purposes as well as installation guide.

  • MSS - for Taking screenshots
  • PIL or PILLOW - for Processing that taken screenshot
  • Numpy - for Clustering Purpose
  • Scipy - for Clustering Purpose

I would be offering a step by step install below.

  1. Download Python3 from the official link Please please download 3.7.6 or 3.7.7 version. I have not checked any other version working. Please make sure if you are downloading the correct version bit (32bit or 64bit) for your PC.
  2. After you have installed Python3, please run cmd by using Windows + R shortcut and entering cmd . If you do know how to execute cmd, then do it so as you are used to.
  3. Enter python --version and verify the version installed. If you happen to have error something like 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. it means that Python is not correctly installed, or the PATH variables were not set during the installation phase. Please check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17953124/python-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command here for more info. Also, if you cannot find solution for this, please let me know. I will help you as much as possible.
  4. Then enter following codes to install our dependency modules.
  5. python -m pip install mss
  6. python -m pip install pillow
  7. python -m pip install numpy
  8. python -m pip install scipy
  9. If you have successfully installed those packages, it would be working soon!
  10. Please download the Release zip file below and unzip it in a directory you want. Please check the bit x64 or x86 depending on your OS. x64 is for 64bit machine, and x86 is for 32bit machine. I have checked both programs working on 64bit PC on Windows 10. I am not 100% sure that x86 version would work on a real 32bit machine. Please report me if it does or does not through email.
  11. If you unzip the zip file, there would be two directories and two runner files.
  • CppSide
  • PythonSide
  • Rainbow.bat
  • ScreenReactive.bat
  1. If you do know how to run Python files and Binary executable files through cmd commands, please do it so. Run CppSide first and the run PythonSide main.py.
  2. If you do not know how to run those files manually, please doubleclick ScreenReactive.bat and then it would launch Screen Reactive lighting. Rainbow.bat would launch shifting Rainbow color.
  3. If the Windows OS asks you for permission of using networks, please allow them in order for C++ side of the program and Python side of the program to communicate.
