So, you want to be the first person on Earth to know when the new Pope is elected? Forget waiting for news anchors—your computer is now the ultimate Vatican smoke alarm! Here’s how to launch your high-tech, papal-approval-detecting machine in 3 easy steps:
Open your command line (where magic happens) and chant:
pip install opencv-python numpy pafy youtube-dl(If your computer asks for "sudo" powers, say a quick prayer and proceed.)
Copy the smoke-detecting code into a Python file (let’s call it pope_detector.py), then unleash it with:
python pope_detector.py✨ Pro Tip: If the script crashes, blame the Vatican WiFi and try again.
- A blue rectangle will appear around the chimney of destiny.
- If white smoke appears, your screen will scream "YES (WHITE SMOKE)" in glorious green!
- If it’s black smoke, you’ll get a sad "NO" in red (time to pray harder).
🎉 CONGRATS! You’re now the official tech-savvy papal conclave commentator for your friends.
(Optional: Blast "Hallelujah" when "YES" appears.)
- Problem: The script picks up clouds/pigeons/angels as smoke.
Solution: Adjust thewhite_pixelsthreshold in the code (make it higher). - Problem: The stream lags like medieval dial-up.
Solution: Sacrifice a cookie to the Internet Gods and restart.
May your code run flawlessly, your smoke detection be divinely accurate, and your bragging rights last until the next Pope.
🔥 Happy Pope Watching! 🔥
(P.S. If this actually works during a conclave, you owe me a virtual high-five.)
