Teach the camera

Recognition works from cards you show it. Capture a photo, set a card to its right value, then press Teach beneath it. Three or four samples per card — taken in the light you actually play in — is usually enough.

Everyone gets the shared library, so most cards are already known before you teach anything. A contributor token is what lets this device add to it — ask whoever runs the library for one.

A shared sample is the 16×24 greyscale reduction of the card crop — not the photo. Without a token nothing leaves this device.

How it scores
  • Each bird scores its printed number, −2 to 9. The lowest total wins the round.
  • Papageno and the pan flute are worth 10 apiece.
  • Two cards of the same value in one column cancel — that column scores nothing.
  • An egg copies the card beside it. In the middle column it takes the lower of its two neighbours.
  • An egg in an outer column copies its only neighbour; an egg with no numbered neighbour counts as 0.
