Summary:

By using the image processing library Open CV, numpy, and argument parsing, we created a Where's Waldo? game that allows the user to search for Waldo in two separate puzzles, and then highlights where he is hidden.

Walk-Through:

Our interactive Where's Waldo? game challenges the user to find the embedded Waldo in two separate images:

A new game of Where's Waldo will then be available, and the same procedure will follow, this time with Puzzle Two.
