I notice nobody has responded so I thought I'd let you
know your mail was received.

Unfortunately what you ask is extremely specialised and
quite advanced so I suspect nobody on the list feels
competent to advise you - I certainly don't!

The type of computer is unlikely to make much difference.
But how do you plan on "recognising" these shapes? Do
you have image files or are you expecting it to do some
optical scanning from a camera or similar?

That's good advise if you can find any suitable apps to tweak
that are both open source and written in Python. Personally
I don't know of anything remotely like what you suggest!

I assume you are already a competent programmer in some kind
of language (Python, PHP, Javascript, Java, VB, C++?)already?
If not, this is an extremely challenging first project!
(Even assuming you can find a starting point and don't have
to write it from scratch.)
