Welcome to Your Moji

How it "Thinks" and "Feels"

Moji has a digital personality that experiences a range of moods. Its mood isn't random — it grows out of how you treat it.

• Trust: grows when you interact gently and consistently.
• Affection: maintained with gentle interactions (Left button).
• Energy: drains slowly over time and is topped up with playful pokes (Right button).
• Longevity: reflects how well Moji has been cared for over the long run.

Moji checks in on these feelings regularly and shows how it feels through its face — the eyes and mouth shift between expressions, blink on their own, and glance toward you when you press a button. If left alone too long, it gets lonely; leave it longer and it naps.

The Controls

Everything uses the same two buttons. On the home screen they interact with Moji directly; inside menus they scroll and select.

On the home screen

• Left, short press — Moji glances left, toward the button you touched.
• Right, short press — Moji glances right.
• Left, double press — Moji shares a mood-appropriate message.
• Both buttons, press — Opens the main menu.
• Left, press and hold — Starts the shutdown countdown.

In menus

• Left / Right, short press — Move to the previous / next item.
• Hold Right — Enter the highlighted item.
• Both buttons, press — Go back.

The Main Menu

Press both buttons on the home screen to open the main menu. Scroll with the buttons and hold right to enter.

• Play — Connect, Pong, Reaction, Maze, Dice, and Coin Flip.
• Tools — Level, Flashlight, Timer, and Stopwatch.
• Device — Stats, Display, Sleep, About, and Factory Reset.
• Messages — read and show saved phrases.
• Settings — Management, Mood, and Tutorial.

Games

Open Play from the main menu. Each app is built around Moji's two buttons and motion sensing.

• Pong: pair two Moji devices and play a synced paddle game.
• Reaction Test: Moji cues you at a random moment — press Left or Right as fast as you can. Your best time feeds back into its mood.
• Tilt Maze: guide a small cube through a generated maze using the IMU.
• Dice: roll with motion or a button press.
• Coin Flip: flip a coin on screen.

Tools

• Level: IMU-based level tool.
• Flashlight: hold the OLED bright as a small utility light.
• Timer: simple countdown timer.
• Stopwatch: start, stop, and reset elapsed time.

Messages & Affirmations

Moji ships with built-in phrases and can store custom messages from the management portal.

The portal can switch between built-in messages, Magic 8-style answers, or a custom message list.

Management Portal

Open Settings, then Management. Moji starts its own Wi-Fi network and serves a local page for setup, settings, messages, status, and OTA firmware updates.

• Join the displayed Moji Wi-Fi network.
• Use password mojiconfig.
• Open http://moji.local/ or http://192.168.4.1/.

Connect

Connect is the radio-active play entry point for paired Moji devices. The current firmware uses it for two-device play, including Pong.

Settings

• Management: open Moji's local web portal.
• Mood: adjust the current expression state.
• Tutorial: replay the setup guide.

Power & Battery

• Battery meter: a small glyph in the corner of the screen shows the charge level.
• Sleep timing: choose how long Moji waits before sleeping.
• Charging: a charging animation appears while the battery level rises.
• Low battery: radio-heavy features are blocked so Moji does not brown out mid-session.
• Critical battery (about 5%): Moji saves everything and puts itself to sleep on purpose, rather than shutting off abruptly.
• Everything saves automatically — personality, settings, and custom messages — even if the battery runs out.
