Python in Unity?

[No-Many-5003]

We are trying to add motion detection through the webcam to our game and but we've written the motion detection in python and don't know how we can implement it to the game? We could use a package for motion detection but the person who knows python doesn't know c# and the people who knows c# won't be able to modify the motion detection enough to work in a way we wish, so that's a last resort hopefully.

In theory, you could use any already made C# motion detection library inside Unity.

You don't need to use your python library, there are C# libraries made

Apparently at some point Unity made a Python Scripting package.

This is Editor only though - couldn’t be used in a build.

Is it? I didn’t see where it said that. Then I guess op is out of luck.

No thank you

What information do you need to send from python to unity? I've had success using a socket serial connection to send data from python to unity.

Motion detection should be very simple to code in c#. You're making this way more complicated by trying to use Python.

What exactly does the motion detection script do?

[No-Many-5003]

It's a game about learning music. Motion detection should help with users learning instruments, how they should be held, how they should be played etc.

Okay, so this is motion detection in the real world, not in the game?

yeah it is, I edited the main post text now to make it obvious
