A downloadable project

Hello! If you've always wanted to make your own tamagotchi friend you are in the right place! This is the Sluggotchi! 

The code isn't the craziest thing but it does get you set off with the important aspects of a virtual pet! With the first button you can feed the slug, with the second you can pet the slug, and with the third you can... clean up its poop! You can change the amount in the code but the sluggotchi does have random poopies encounters where you will have to clean up it's environment. Very classic tamagotchi behavior haha!

Video of working Sluggotchi on my portfolio if you'd like to see: https://aebel.myportfolio.com/arduino-projects

If you would like to build your own pet feel free to use the code and even come up with your own images.

Here is the site for image conversion: image2cpp (javl.github.io)

The images were drawn in photoshop in bitmap mode then were uploaded into the image conversion site to get them in CPP format.

Parts: 

- Arduino Uno

- breadboard

- passive buzzer

- buttons x3

- wires

- SSD 1306 OLED (other kinds will work too just make sure to adjust for screen size with the images)

If you would like to use the source code, you will need to download Arduino IDE  and make sure to have the older libraries listed. The CPP code takes up a lot of memory unfortunately so using the older libraries that are smaller is a solution for that.
