Inspiration

Wanted to make a virtual pet

What it does

It breathes fire, holds conversations and gets hungry

How we built it

-Used Eleven Labs for its voice -Pygame for the animation -GPT 4 for the chat function -Arduino microcontroller and push button to activate fire breathing -Vosk for recognising voice input

Challenges we ran into

-At first getting the laptop to recognise the microcontroller and transmit data -The UI freezing when the dragon talks -Ran out of GPT tokens while testing

Accomplishments that we're proud of

-Making the animation reflect the dragon's mood -Making the button work -Finding a voice the fits Cheppie's (dragon) character -Enabling voice recognition

What we learned

-How to connect a python application to a GPT model -How to send data from a microcontroller to a computer and basic hardware -How to use GitHub in a collaborative environment

What's next for Team 29 Cheppie the Dragon

Integrating cheppie into mini games to increase user interaction Creating more actions that cheppie can perform
