Retrieving pixels from the camera sprite

Questions
1

Would this be possible? For example: when a button is pressed, it uses image:get() to find the color of the pixel at whereverX,whereverY. I’ve tried, but no matter what I try, it always gives an error. Any help is VERY appreciated!

Hi @CodeaNoob
Is this what you’re looking for ?

-- Camera
displayMode(FULLSCREEN)
-- Use this function to perform your initial setup
function setup()
    -- Start using the front camera
    cameraSource(CAMERA_FRONT)
    spriteMode(CORNERS)
    
    capturedImage = nil
    camWidth = 0
    camHeight = 0
end



-- This function gets called once every frame
function draw()
    -- This sets a dark background color
    background(40, 40, 50)

    -- Get the size of the current camera texture
    camWidth, camHeight = spriteSize( CAMERA )

    -- Draw the special CAMERA sprite
    sprite( CAMERA, 0, 0, math.min( camWidth, WIDTH ) )

    if capturedImage ~= nil then
        if CurrentTouch.x < camWidth and CurrentTouch.y < camHeight then
            local r, g, b = capturedImage:get(CurrentTouch.x, CurrentTouch.y)
            text(r .. ", " .. g .. ", " .. b, 200, HEIGHT - 50)
        end
    end
end

function touched(touch)
    capturedImage = image(CAMERA)
end
