Mood-Based Recommender System 🎵😂🎮🍕

This project is a Python-based console application that analyzes a user's mood and provides personalized recommendations for activities like listening to music, viewing memes, playing games, or ordering food. It also logs user interactions in a MySQL database for potential future analysis.

🌟 Key Features

• Interactive Mood Analysis: Asks the user for their name, basic details, and current mood.
• Personalized Suggestions:
  • Feeling sad? Get suggestions for motivational audio, music, or funny memes.
  • Feeling happy? Enhance your mood with upbeat music, games, or memes.
  • In a gaming mood? Jump straight into online games or listen to a gaming playlist.
  • Feeling hungry? Tell the app what you crave, and it will open a relevant food delivery website.
• Data Logging: Securely stores the user's mood and basic, non-identifiable information in a MySQL database.
• Built-in Media Players:
  • A GUI-based music player built with Tkinter and Pygame.
  • A web-based meme viewer using a local HTML file.

⚙️ How It Works

The application follows a simple command-line flow:

1. User Input: The script project_meme.py prompts the user for their name, age, gender, city, and current mood.
2. Mood Validation: The entered mood is cross-referenced with a comprehensive dictionary of synonyms (module_Mood.py) to understand the user's feelings.
3. Database Entry: The user's details and mood are recorded in a moodlog table within a MySQL database named healthsys.
4. Recommendation Engine: Based on the identified mood, the application presents a menu of choices.
5. Action Execution:
   • Music: Launches a Tkinter-based music player or plays a specific track using playsound.
   • Memes: Opens the Untitled-1.html file in the default web browser to display a collection of memes.
   • Games: Opens poki.com in a new browser tab for instant gaming.
   • Food: Opens the website for a specific food item (e.g., dominos.co.in for pizza).

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Backend: Python 3
• Database: MySQL
• Python Libraries:
  • mysql-connector-python (for database interaction)
  • pygame (for audio playback)
  • playsound (for simple audio playback)
  • Pillow (for image handling)
  • tkinter (for the music player GUI)
• Frontend (Meme Viewer): HTML & JavaScript

🚀 Setup and Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• MySQL Server

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/your-username/Meme.git
cd Meme

2. Install Dependencies

Install the required Python packages using pip.

pip install mysql-connector-python pygame playsound Pillow

3. Set Up the Database

You need to create the database and table for the application to store its data.

1. Open your MySQL client.
2. Create the database:

   CREATE DATABASE healthsys;

3. Use the new database:

   USE healthsys;

4. Create the moodlog table:

   CREATE TABLE moodlog (
       ID INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
       Name VARCHAR(255),
       Age INT,
       Gender VARCHAR(50),
       City VARCHAR(255),
       Mood VARCHAR(255),
       Health VARCHAR(50),
       LogTime TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
   );

4. Configure the Application

Critical Step: Update Paths and Credentials

The current code uses hardcoded absolute paths and database credentials. You must change these for the application to work on your machine.

1. Database Connection (project_meme.py): Open project_meme.py and update the mysql.connector.connect() block with your MySQL credentials.

   # Lines 13-17 in project_meme.py
   mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
       host = "localhost",
       user = "your_mysql_user",      # CHANGE THIS
       password = "your_mysql_password", # CHANGE THIS
       database ="healthsys"
   )

2. File Paths (Untitled-1.html & project_meme.py): The code uses absolute file paths which will prevent it from running on other machines. Search the project for paths like C:\Users\harsh\mini_project_2\... and replace them with relative paths.

   • Example in Untitled-1.html:
     • Find: src='/C:/Users/harsh/mini_project_2/memes/img1.jpg'
     • Replace with: src='memes/img1.jpg'
   • Example in project_meme.py:
     • Find: html_file_path = r"C:\Users\harsh\mini_project_2\Untitled-1.html"
     • Replace with: html_file_path = "Untitled-1.html"

▶️ How to Run

Once the setup and configuration are complete, run the main script from your terminal:

python project_meme.py

Follow the on-screen prompts to interact with the application.

📈 Areas for Improvement

This project is a great proof-of-concept with several opportunities for enhancement:

• Fix Hardcoded Paths: The most critical improvement is to replace all absolute file paths with relative paths to make the project portable.
• Use Environment Variables: Database credentials should be stored in environment variables or a .env file instead of being hardcoded.
• Refactor Repetitive Code: The functions in module_music.py and the logic in project_meme.py have a lot of repetition and can be simplified into more generic, reusable functions.
• Improve Meme Logic: The HTML file currently shows the same set of memes for all categories. This can be updated to display category-specific images.
• Web Framework Integration: A lightweight web framework like Flask or FastAPI could be used to serve the meme viewer, which would solve pathing issues and provide more flexibility.
• Create a .gitignore File: A .gitignore file should be added to the repository to exclude __pycache__ directories and other non-essential files.
