A Miiverse community that allows screenshots is most likely a game that doesn't use any of the camera functions, such as the SmileBASIC communities. So do you think, since Miiverse is ending, that SmileBASIC will allow for use of the camera and import/export to 3ds camera app, or do you think SmileBoom will never allow pontentially personal images to be uploaded?

nintendo doesn't permit random software with shared user-generated content to access the camera for obvious concerns. there is online sharing in smilebasic, it doesn't matter whether you can put it on miiverse or not, I think.

Nintendo doesn't permit camera function. I suppose it won't implement hereafter too. If you share your picture,have to use Petitmodem.

Some games/apps such as Butterfly:Inchworm Animation or Freakyforms, allows the camera function. Butterfly even lets you upload your animations, potentially containing pictures taken by the 3DS or video. But from your responses I suppose I'll take your word for it. Thank you!

What's cool is if the Camera ability got implemented, the QR code will finally come back!

@Akeem the difference between something like Butterfly and SB is the very nature of the UGC involved. With Butterfly you're explicitly taking your own photo and using it in the animation, with your own consent. With SB, you're allowing anyone's program to take a photo of you, theoretically at any time, for any reason, possibly without your consent.

@Alex Ok I see your point. Though I'm not seeing any harm in a program taking an image, seeing that the only the player would see it. Also, even if camera itself can't be accessible, the ability to select images from the camera app would be nice.This reminds me of a Wario game where you use the camera to move, and the game would take pictures of you and put weird filters and backdrops.

@Alex, also, now that I think about it, it DOES seem creepy for programsmto take pictures or you, using them for...whatever. *shiver*. From all your responses, Im thinking it just won't happen, so for now I'll stick to petitmodem. Thank you!

@Alex That's a completely different definition. Since when has there ever been a program that can "take a picture of you" in online mode? I don't even see one SmileBasic program using online and camera mode in my life. Even if they can take a picture, you can just delete the software entirely or modify the code to not allow it, as SmileBASIC [At this time, thank goodness.] is not powerful or...

...eligible to use Camera, especially the 3D-ability camera which would take a lot power and memories to get into SmileBASIC atm. I wouldn't care if they can take photos because of online incapacity and I would learn to modify, or better yet, erase the codes anyway.

And no, I am not talking about the predecessor of the program.

An active internet connection is not the only valid attack vector. And you have to remember, this is Nintendo's worst-case-scenario logic. I don't agree with it either. It's worth mentioning that SB doesn't support online multiplayer, nor does it actually support a camera. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

I would also like to point out that I doesn't have to be an instruction that programs can use. It could be a DIRECT mode only thing something like: GRPGET 0 To where it would tell you to select an images,warning you about selecting personal images and what not. Then it would paste the image to a graphic screen, in this case, 0 (Default top screen) Then you can just save it! I'd be happy with that.
