🎭Facial Expression Program🎭

📋 Project Overview

This Python program displays 7 different facial expressions using a 10x10 2D array system with nested loops for rendering. The project includes two versions:

• CLI Version (4E13_preSBA2.py): Terminal-based with emoji rendering
• GUI Version (4E13_preSBA2_GUI.py): Mouse-clickable interface using tkinter with color customization

Latest Update: Fixed expression button highlighting - selected expressions now show clear visual feedback with blue background and sunken relief.

⚙️ How It Works

1. 2D Array Storage

Each facial expression is stored as a 10x10 2D array template using placeholder symbols:

2. Example: Happy Face Array

happy_face = [
    ["B", "B", "B", "F", "F", "F", "F", "B", "B", "B"],
    ["B", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "B"],
    ["F", "F", "E", "E", "F", "F", "E", "E", "F", "F"],
    ["F", "F", "E", "E", "F", "F", "E", "E", "F", "F"],
    ["F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F"],
    ["F", "E", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "E", "F"],
    ["F", "F", "E", "F", "F", "F", "F", "E", "F", "F"],
    ["F", "F", "F", "E", "E", "E", "E", "F", "F", "F"],
    ["B", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "F", "B"],
    ["B", "B", "B", "F", "F", "F", "F", "B", "B", "B"]
]

3. Nested Loops Rendering

# OUTER LOOP: Iterate through each row
for row_index in range(len(face_array)):
    line = ""
    
    # INNER LOOP: Iterate through each column
    for col_index in range(len(face_array[row_index])):
        symbol = face_array[row_index][col_index]
        line += symbol
    
    print(line)  # Print the completed row
