Just a word before the application description: You could file a documentation (pdf) and several video and pictures in the package file (.zip). All sources is available (I used a few function of previous project available on this website, thank very much for your help (forum , last contest and projects already enter)). I spent a lot of time to complete this project, I finish just today (14 december, deadline contest !!!). The application works (some point could probably be improved). I hope you like this project and it will be the start of another project.

best regards Pierre
