Right now, the default image is saved to out.avi. Specifying dest doesnt work well.

Get creative, add more filters. See https://github.com/Davidy22/SkunkBooth/blob/main/skunkbooth/filters/matrix.py and https://github.com/Davidy22/SkunkBooth/blob/main/skunkbooth/filters/invert.py for reference.

Currently we only read from the first detected camera. Add a check on opencv to get the IDs of all available cameras, and make them selectable in settings.

I have 2 webcams on my thinkpad, first is IR-Camera and the second one is a classic webcam.
Here is the output of /dev: /dev/video0 /dev/video1 /dev/video2 /dev/video3
The issue here is I can't change cameras in SkunkBooth, and by default it opens the IR-Camera which is /dev/video2

Is there a way to change it ?

Image filter selection and application UI

Render opencv video feed to ASCII

Once the recording button is clicked, start an onscreen timer with "REC"

Describe the solution you'd like
Simple state based implementation should do it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.

Additional context
None.

Make the program localisable. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/gettext.html for help.

Describe the bug
Viewfinder image is cropped

Steps To Reproduce
Look at viewfinder

Expected behavior
Re size the image instead of cropping

Main ui, see another webcam photo taking program for inspiration

Add items to the to-do list when you add a button not implemented by a function on the to-do list

Describe the issue :

While this isn't really a big issue, I noticed that the clone instructions mentions to clone the repo 'scholarlySkunkJam' and cd into the folder. Considering how the repo has been renamed to SkunkBooth and all other instructions mentions SkunkBooth, I think this should be changed in the README for consistency purposes.

Solution, if any :

1. Update the README as mentioned above.

After reading issue #69, I felt it would be nice to have a grayscale filter- because grayscale images are minimalistic and is a pretty standard filter.
I haven't looked into the implementation but I guess it should be simple enough.
It would be appreciated if this issue could be assigned to me.

Write unit tests for existing functions for some peace of mind

Make a settings page and config saving so user can choose things like output directory, file format, and whatever future thing could be appropriate for a settings dialog

Scan the locales directory for language options instead of having to hard-code the drop down menu to make creating new translations easier for code-illiterate contributors.

Add keybindings for some of the common shortcuts, CTRL+Q and CTRL+W to close, q and esc to close, pgup, pgdown, home and end for navigating filters, CTRL+arrow keys for navigating main menu and filters.

main.py has become a bit of a dumping ground, clean it up a little bit by moving what should be moved out into other files.

Build out framework to support adding, and applying image filters to ASCII grids

frames.py currently contains the entire UI of the program. Split it up into the individual screens of the program.

There should be an option to get high-quality previews/images.

Describe the solution you'd like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel
https://github.com/libsixel/libsixel
SIXEL is old but got support in a bunch of more modern terminal emulators during the last few years. And with mpv a well-known application implemented SIXEL as an output option.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is no alternative I consider at this point. A few terminal emulators like iTerm and Kitty have their own graphics protocol; those might become relevant enough in the future.

Convert our ASCII to one image format as well as saving to text.

Describe the bug
I've tried following the instructions for installing. Here is what I did:

After doing this, I run SkunkBooth and I get this:

It seems like the issue is stemming from OpenCV. I've tried adjusting the camera index, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I am using an external USB webcam.

I've also tried installing the dependencies using pip and running SkunkBooth. The same thing occurs.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow the instructions listed in Contributing.

Expected behavior
SkunkBooth should be running.

Screenshots
See above.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Version: 19042.1237

Additional context
N/A

When recording and video rendering and video writing are working in parallel, the video writing portion of the program will lag behind. If the program is closed while there are still video frames to save, the program will display a message and continue to run while it saves video. Make the end screen look a little prettier and more informative.

Currently only fits to height, if window is narrow will get unexpected results. Fit to width if it will be the bottleneck.

Query for and use the webcam's actual resolution instead of guessing a magic number

Implement a framerate cap, and set a lower video output framerate if the user's computer is ancient and can't handle the capped framerate.

Complete the _skip_to_next_page implementation so that pageup and pagedown work the way they do in other programs on the filters screen.

When you go to the effects panel and select effects like Question-mark, Arrows, etc. Only the effect last selected is applied but the other effects still remain checked.

Describe the solution you'd like
When a particular effect overrides other effects, they should be unchecked from the list.

Convert the ASCII grid stream to one video format

@Davidy22 if you want, we could open this repo for HacktoberFest. Here are the guidelines : https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/. I think it requires you to change the labels for the repo, rest all is done.
