Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

!resources have plenty of beginner level tutorials. I think diving into OpenCV is a bit advanced for you

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[sonic girder]

I personally recommend "Automate the Boring Stuff" ebook. Really teaches you the basic and how the basic is very useful in daily stuff

[compact spruce]

I mean i understand the basis of it reading detection the coding part but not understanding the folders and how to actually get it up and working if that makes sense

[sonic girder]

Are you trying to build a new opencv project or using someone else's?

[compact spruce]

So im going to be building my own i began this project in AHK but its laggy and i want be open to more resources, and i want things to be alot more accurate timing reaction decisions etc

[sonic girder]

ok so what about these folders that are confusing you?

[compact spruce]

Ok for instance i load up python and im in the normal coding terminal how do i access opencv theres nothing for me to open i tried import in python but obviously you need something to import and i havent written anything in the opencv folder or wherever im suppose to go

[sonic girder]

Idk why you would need an opencv folder but you can start after you pip install it and then import cv2 as its the proper module name. https://realpython.com/python-opencv-color-spaces/#color-spaces-and-reading-images-in-opencv

[compact spruce]

Ok gimme a sec altho im pretty sure i installed opencv thru cmd already

[compact spruce]

Another question lets say im doing something for my game etc would it be better to use images or videos as detection for reaction and perfect timing?
