Add "Pause" Button #3

Closed martindale closed 11 years ago

martindale commented 11 years ago

I've added a "pause" button so you can pause a frame and copy the ASCII output as you please. :)

Fixes #2 .

Hey Eric, thanks a lot for the contribution! Do you think you could push the pause logic into the camera.js library? That could be really useful for the library overall, and would save a whole lot of cpu spent processing discarded frames.

Thanks!

I can, absolutely. I'll do it as soon as I have time to dive into something like this. I'll update this pull request as soon as I've completed the work!

Awesome! You may have to move a couple of variables out of the functions in order to have access to them from other functions.
