🫂Motivational Misty

Do you ever feel down? From now on there will always be Misty to cheer you up!

In this project, Misty transforms into a motivational companion who delivers encouraging messages, delightful visuals, and engaging animations whenever her head is touched. This project uses Misty’s built-in features to create an uplifting interaction, making her the perfect source of inspiration and motivation.

# Function to handle touch events
def touched(data):

# Register touch event
misty.register_event(event_name='touch', event_type=Events.TouchSensor, callback_function=touched, keep_alive=False)

# Keep the program running
misty.keep_alive()

After including the usual libraries, and setting up your Misty to default condition is time to create different Misty animations. Each animation combines a unique blend of Misty's movements, LED colour transitions, audio clips, and expressive face displays, providing a variety of positive and engaging interactions. Later all the different animations are stored in a list and with

random.choice(animations)()

you can select a random one.

The last lines of code enable Misty to listen to the TouchSensor Event, make sure to set keep_alive = False, in this way, Misty will react only once to your touch and will not be triggered several times, which would lead to mixed animations all at once.
