Interactive Floor for Windows - simplified

Posted by alejandro on Feedback, Software

Due to the excessively complicated instructions seveal people got lost when trying to use our code, so I've taken the time to ease things up a bit.
For now there's only a Windows version which was the hardest to get up and running - if you need OSX or GNU/Linux versions feel free to ask for it in the comments and I'll do it when I have the time.

So now in theory you only need to download three things

1) The OpenFrameworks package with the optic flow addon I provide here: http://idp.mexinetica.com/files/of_preRelease_v0.05_windows_cb_FAT_withInteractiveFloorTracking.zip

2) Codeblocks 10.05 WITH MiNGW from codeblocks.org

3) Processing from processing.org

Here are the installation instructions (which are provided as a Readme inside the OpenFrameworks package

Hi, I've packed these things together so that it's easier to use.
Please follow these instructions so that you can get the Interactive Floor software up & running:

2- Unpack the included codeblocks_additions.zip file in C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW

3- Open opticflowexampleWin32 from of_preRelease_v0.05_windows_cb_FAT\apps\addonsExamples\opticFlowExample

4- Click Compile, you'll get thousands of warnings in fmod_errors.h but it will still work:

“..\..\..\libs\fmodex\inc\fmod_errors.h|23|warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'|”

5- Click run

6- It usually crashes on exit, but seems to work fine.

7- Install Processing ( http://processing.org/ ) so you can use the included .pde interactive apps

8- Always start the tracking (openframeworks) application before the processing apps

Hope this makes things easier!
