Joseph and I mainly focused on the integration of Raspberry Pi and UI. After we integrated, we found an issue that the Raspberry Pi is not good enough to run Pygame and Computer Vision algorithms using videos. So, we thought the performance might improve if we use photos instead of videos.
Thus, I created a button that a user can press after he or she makes a move, which will take a photo of the board and compare it with the previous status of the board to figure out the difference between the two frames. Although the performance was slightly better on Raspberry Pi, it still couldn’t handle Pygame.
So, we decided to use our laptop instead of the Raspberry Pi so that we could have a smoother game. Now, we have a button which user can press after he or she makes a move, and Joseph and I tested with our board that the entire game works well with the buttons.
