Playdate Mirror as image input method?

SDK Feature Requests

Here's a crazy idea...

Could the Playdate Mirror app also send data to the Playdate? I'm thinking about the host PC web cam image.

Would be a cool way to capture user-generated content into games/device. Sort of like Game Boy Camera.

On the device it would be good to have the ability to display the image with dithering, or as simple 50% threshold. Assuming the data would have to arrive as 1-bit?

I realize that this post is rather dated, but if anyone finds this in the future: I believe I build exactly the tool that was described Playdate AntiMirror Directly from the browser it lets you stream content to your Playdate via USB in real-time (we’ll, currently at 10FPS).
