Doomguy, on your Pimoroni Cosmic Unicorn https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/cosmic-unicorn
Press the A, B, C, or D buttons to change Doomguy's mood:
- A: Happy
- B: Upset
- C: Angry
- D: Bloody
The routine will rotate through images representing each mood every 10 seconds. This value can be configured at the top of the MicroPython file.
This is using PicoGraphics to load a JPEG image as a sprite that actually contains 27 images, 32x32.
This script is not particularly interesting on its own, but can be used as a foundation to build upon to make Doom Guy react to things. I am currently working on another variation of this script that will react to the status of my Nagios server where the more services are in WARNING or CRITICAL state, Doom Guy gets more angry.
As with all these unicorn photos, the colors are much more vibrant in-person. These photos do not do it justice.
- Upload doomguy.jpg to the root of your pico.
- Upload doomguy.py to the root of your pico.
"screenshot" folder is not needed for this script to run.
- Run doomguy.py with Thonny
If you want this script to run on boot, then you need to copy the contents of doomguy.py into main.py. main.py is the file that starts on boot.

Thanks to Pimoroni for creating these awesome boards!
