How can I add my own Images to GazePlay?
In a folder of your choice, create a folder called images
.
images
can have 3 sub-folders:
portraits
: images used by creampie, ninja and portrait bubbles. Images should be small (300×300 pixels).magiccards
: images used by magic cards. You can use all image sizes.blocs
: images used by blocks and scratchcard. Choose big images, preferably the same size as the screen.
You can change the image folder within GazePlay in the configuration menu, so you can have as many image folders as you like.
Adding custom games to Where Is It?
Follow these steps to find the Where Is It folder on your computer, and add your own custom games:
Windows




where-is-it
folder. Click to open it.
Before adding your photos, you’ll need to create a questions
file.
To do this, open some spreadsheet software, like Excel or Google Sheets. Then, fill a table such as the example below:
pictos | eng | |
---|---|---|
bathtub | bathtub.png |
Where is the bathtub? |
biscuit | biscuit.png |
Where is the biscuit? |
bus | bus.png |
Where is the bus? |
The first column is the name of the folders you’ll add, the pictos
column is the name of the image file in that folder, and eng
represents the english translation of the question to ask the player. You can change this from eng
to another language if you want - the game will choose the right translation for your chosen language. Supported languages are:
alb, ara, chn, deu, ell, eng, fin, fra, hrv, ind, ita, jpn, pol, por, zsm, nld, rus, spa, vnm
Remember to save your spreadsheet as questions.csv
and place it in the where-is-it
folder.

I’m clicking on gazeplay-windows.bat but it doesn’t work. Why?
You may see an error message stating that you don’t have a Java Virtual Machine on your computer.
To fix this, check that there is a jre

is not, you will need to redownload the latest version of GazePlay.
