Project 24: Emoji Mood Tracker 😊¶
Difficulty: 🟢 Beginner
Run cells top to bottom. Each step builds on the previous one and saves real files under outputs/emoji_mood_tracker/.
Description¶
Log daily moods with emojis, score them, and plot a cheerful week-of-feelings chart.
Libraries & Modules¶
matplotlib.pyplot- Built-in:
datetime
Python Concepts You'll Practice¶
Dicts as lookups, list aggregations, simple charts
🎛️ Parameter Variations¶
MOOD_LOG— swap emoji daysSCORES— remap how happy each emoji is

# Interactive Jupyter setup — run this cell first
%matplotlib inline
from pathlib import Path
from IPython.display import display, Image as IPImage, HTML, Markdown, Audio, IFrame
OUTPUT_DIR = Path("outputs") / "emoji_mood_tracker"
OUTPUT_DIR.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
print(f"✅ Outputs folder: {OUTPUT_DIR.resolve()}")
✅ Outputs folder: C:\Users\Hansel Yan\Projects\CodeItAll\outputs\emoji_mood_tracker
Step 1 — Score a week of moods¶
In [3]:
from datetime import date, timedelta
# 🎛️ TWEAK THESE
MOOD_LOG = ["😀", "😐", "😎", "😴", "🤩", "😤", "🥳"]
SCORES = {"😀": 4, "😐": 2, "😎": 4, "😴": 1, "🤩": 5, "😤": 1, "🥳": 5, "😢": 0}
start = date(2026, 7, 6)
days = [start + timedelta(days=i) for i in range(len(MOOD_LOG))]
points = [SCORES.get(m, 2) for m in MOOD_LOG]
avg = sum(points) / len(points)
print(f"Average mood score: {avg:.2f} / 5")
for d, m, p in zip(days, MOOD_LOG, points):
print(f"{d:%a %b %d}: {m} ({p})")
Average mood score: 3.14 / 5 Mon Jul 06: 😀 (4) Tue Jul 07: 😐 (2) Wed Jul 08: 😎 (4) Thu Jul 09: 😴 (1) Fri Jul 10: 🤩 (5) Sat Jul 11: 😤 (1) Sun Jul 12: 🥳 (5)
Step 2 — Draw the mood line¶
In [4]:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
labels = [d.strftime("%a") for d in days]
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 4))
ax.plot(labels, points, marker="o", linewidth=2.5, color="#111111")
ax.fill_between(labels, points, alpha=0.12, color="#8b1e1e")
ax.set_ylim(0, 5.5)
ax.set_title("Emoji Mood Tracker — CodeItAll")
ax.set_ylabel("Mood score")
fig.tight_layout()
out = OUTPUT_DIR / "mood_tracker.png"
fig.savefig(out, dpi=140)
plt.show()
(OUTPUT_DIR / "mood_log.txt").write_text(
"\n".join(f"{d}|{m}|{p}" for d, m, p in zip(days, MOOD_LOG, points)),
encoding="utf-8",
)
print(f"Saved {out}")
