Gabor Matching Game

A Python desktop application that generates and displays Gabor patches in a grid-based matching game. The project demonstrates how to procedurally generate parametric visual stimuli and embed them in an interactive GUI using Tkinter, NumPy, and Matplotlib.

⚠️ This project is experimental and educational. It is not a medical device and does not replace professional eye care.

Features

• Procedural generation of Gabor patches
• Multiple difficulty levels with different stimulus parameter ranges
• Configurable grid sizes
• Full-screen, resolution-adaptive UI
• Memory-style matching gameplay
• Real-time score and timer tracking
• Colormap selection for visual customization

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Python packages pip install numpy matplotlib opencv-python pillow (tkinter is included with most standard Python installations.)
