This git repo contains the python moodies libraries as well as the server.py script (listening to events and answering them) and a client.py script example that can be used on the CLI to sniff or trigger moodies events.
Moodies exchange data between the client using a Pusher private chat room, with the pusherclient library. Pusher has been factored out to moodies/client.py so that we can evolve to a different messaging system in the future if needed.
MoodiesClient is a wrapper to pusherclient that will handle all the connection, callbacks and message trigerring to pusher.
A moodies channel is a moodies "room" containing online users joining that room and one mood container representing the average of users moods with all possible moods in Moodies (moods are Mood object contained in a MoodiesContainer).
A moodies user, MoodiesUser is simply a container holding the MoodiesContainer for that user so we keep track of it's mood. The moodies server will remember any users even after they left, so we keep track of their mood if come back before it's going to zero, but the moodies channel will only track the online users.
Moodies events are events that client can send/receive in their MoodiesChannel throught the MoodiesClient. An event is represented by a it's name, a string as in moodies/events.pyand it's data, the Message object (moodies/message.py)
Below is a list of events that can occur, and what values that can be set in the Message.
For example, to send the text message event the event name will be events.MESSAGE and the data can be Message(user_id='user_id', value='My message')
Or, using the client to send to the connected room:
moodies_client.send_event(events.MESSAGE, Message(user_id='user_id', value='My message'))
-
client-new-color
Tells the client the color we need to display (essentially reprenting the winning mood color for now). Format is a string reprensenting DEC RGB separated by comas, example: '0,255,0' for green.
-
client-text-message
Text to display on the client side. Value is the string to display. Will be turned upper case on arduino (not all chars are supported).
-
client-play-melody
Melody to play, documentation to come (it's in the arduino code)
-
client-button-pushed
Message sent from clients. Value is a string. From arduino, the content of the string it actually an integer representing the number of time the button was pushed, from binary we start with:
b1If the button was shortly pushed, we shift right it:
b10 ``` If the buttong was long pushed, we shift right and add 1:b11
So:2 = b10 = one short push 4 = b100 = two short push 5 = b101 = one short push followed by one long push
