Screen Edge Lighting
Hi,
I have not got a BlinkyTape yet, but I should do soon. What I would like to do is have edge lighting for my screen. What I mean by this is that when a certain color is on the edge, like green, the tape lights up green. I have not seen a way to do this and I think it would really enhance the viewing experience and gaming experience. For example, for gaming, when you have that ring showing you where the damage is coming from you could set it so that the lights corrospond to where you are getting hit.
I am not sure how to do this so I am just wondering if you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

We actually already have a demo that does something really similar to this: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/BlinkyTape_Processing/tree/master/examples/AmbiTape
-- not sure if it will work with full-screen games, but give it a try.
Also take a look at our Processing page for additional info: http://blinkinlabs.com/blinkytape/docs/processing/
Let us know if that works for you and share back with us!
