Finally, there are a few functions that seem to have absolutely nothing to
do with photography. But maybe you want to play a few games with your
camera while you wait for the right shooting light.
4.11.1 Games
Games on a camera? Why not! If you can take photos with a Nintendo
Gameboy, why not play games with your camera? So, the CHDK offers four
games: Connect4, Mastermind, Reversi, and Sokoban. You’ll find all of these
games in the submenu
ALT > MENU > Miscellaneous Stuff > Games.
Before invoking a game, you must put the camera into Replay mode.
The game starts right away, and you can use the following keys to interact:
f
Reversi: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT: Move cursor; FUNC/SET: Draw/Restart
Game;
DISPLAY: Camera against camera; MENU: back to the Games
submenu.
f
Sokoban: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT: Move; FUNC/SET: Change level (only
at start of a game);
DISPLAY: Restart current level; ZOOM_OUT: Undo
moves;
ZOOM_IN: Redo moves; MENU: back to the Games submenu.
