Hand Gesture Game Control 🎮✋

This project allows you to control games using hand gestures detected via a webcam. It uses OpenCV, MediaPipe, and PyAutoGUI to recognize finger positions and simulate keyboard presses.

✨ Features

• Detects hand gestures in real-time using your webcam.

• Maps specific gestures to game controls:

  • Index finger up → Move Right (→)
  • Index + Middle finger up → Move Left (←)
  • Thumb + Index + Middle up → Jump (↑)
  • No fingers up (fist) → Slide (↓)
  • All fingers up → Idle (no action)

🛠️ Requirements

Make sure you have Python installed. Then install the following libraries:

pip install opencv-python mediapipe pyautogui

▶️ How to Run

1. Clone this repository or download the code.

2. Run the script:

   python hand_gesture_control.py

3. Show your hand in front of the webcam and start controlling your game!

📌 Controls (Gestures → Keys)

⚠️ Notes

• Works best in good lighting.
• Keep only one hand in the camera frame.
• Some games may require different key mappings (you can edit in the code).
