crowd_pong's Issues

Better window placement

The window placement sucks. They're all stacked on top of each other and are hard to find. Some better solution would be nice.

Need a graceful exit for the tornado websocket server

Currently the only way to exit the websocket server is to kill it or Ctrl+C it. This can leave the port open and a hung python session running. It's not a great state of things. It would be good to have a way of ending the session smoothly so we can open it again reliably. Here's the output:

received: -0.264933046936
connection closed...

connection closed...
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
File "./tornado-websocket-server.py", line 53, in
tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.instance().start()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tornado/ioloop.py", line 841, in start
event_pairs = self._impl.poll(poll_timeout)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tornado/platform/kqueue.py", line 66, in poll
kevents = self._kqueue.control(None, 1000, timeout)
KeyboardInterrupt

Video Sampling needs Error Handling

Currently there is absolutely no error handling. We need to add some. If the websocket server crashes, it takes down the video_capture interface as well. I think some trapping around the ws.send() call is all thiat is needed.
