JTimelapse

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#1

Hi

I’ve written a tool for creating timelapses, a la Chronolapse. It could be a helpful tool for game jams. I wrote it because Chronolapse only runs under Windows due to dependencies. JTimelapse is Java obviously, so it runs pretty much anywhere. The user interface leaves a little to be desired is pretty decent, but it works alright, so try it out.

JAR (Compiled with Java 1.8, 5KB)

Since WIP threads require pictures, here’s one of the stunning decent-ish UI.

I’ll eventually make the UI not look like shit. It’s not that bad now.

Thought i would give it a try because it seemed simple and useful. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to do anything after inputting the amount of seconds(delay) between captures. Then when i try pressing start again it asks me to input the seconds in again. ???

That’s very strange. Run it from the console and see if any errors pop up.

Doesn’t seem to be saving the images.

Uploaded a new version, same link. Try it out and see if that fixes it.

Yeah, there we go. Works Great.

#7

Working great, tested on Windows 10 64-bit and 32-bit VM.

Went ahead and did a little work on the UI, I think it looks much better now.

Same download link

Since Ludum Dare is coming up, I figure I’d take this time to plug JTimelapse. I also threw the source on github if anyone’s interested.
