Project - Helldivers Stratgem Based on Face

I attempted to create a game-augmenting system that monitors your facial expressions in real time, translates raw emotion into actionable data, and true to Helldivers’ chaotic spirit automatically triggers an in-game Stratagem that mirrors your mood in game. Essentially, I attempted a new system for Helldivers responding to the communities need for liberty and democracy.

The sole lab rat at HQ attempted a system where if you smiled with confidence an ammo drop materializes at your feet or since helldivers will never flinch in terror if the player is noted to be the least bit scared, a 500 kg bomb obliterates you on the spot. Also a salute grants you a napalm orbital strike.

I like understanding how things work so this is my official research notes on Facial recognition algorithms and how they work. Futhermore i want to unpack what OpenCV i exactly. Id love to learn more exactly how these work but that will be a comprehensive dive a different time
