Re: Video block

It turns on the webcam, and allows you to sense movement on the screen.

And example would be a balloon popping game. There would be balloons placed randomly on the screen, and you would turn on the video, and maybe set it to 50% translucency, and if the balloons sense movement from the webcam where they are, to have them to a popping animation, and hide.
