Example of Code

Import Module

from nanoleafapi import Nanoleaf, NanoleafDigitalTwin, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, LIGHT_BLUE, BLUE, PINK, PURPLE, WHITE
import random
import time

Defining Components

panel_id_list = nl.get_ids()
color_list = [RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, LIGHT_BLUE, BLUE, PINK, PURPLE]
score = ""
second = ""
times_up = ""

Color Generation Function

Randomly pick a canvas and color from the lists.

def color_gen():
    panel = random.choice(panel_id_list)
    if digital_twin.get_color(panel) == (0,0,0):
        digital_twin.set_color(panel, random.choice(color_list))
        digital_twin.sync()
        time.sleep(2)

Touch Function

Listen to the touch event.
Light off the panel when a touch event occurs and add the score.

event_dict = {}
def event_function(event):
	 print(event)
	 event_dict.update(event)
	 
nl.register_event(event_function, [4])

def touch():
    global score
    global event_dict
    try:
        touch_id = event_dict['events'][0]['panelId']
        if touch_id != -1:
            try:
                digital_twin.set_color(touch_id, (0,0,0))
                event_dict['events'][0]['panelId'] = -1
                score = score + 1
                print("Score: " + str(score))
            except:
                pass
    except KeyError:
        pass

Score Display Function

Display the score by changing the color in the same amounts of canvas to light blue.

def score_display():
    for i in panel_id_list(range(score)):
        digital_twin.set_color(i, LIGHT_BLUE)
        digital_twin.sync()

Countdown Function

Set the timer for 15 seconds.

def countdown():
    second = second + 1
    if second == 15:
        times_up = 1

Game Initiation

score = 0
second = 0
times_up = 0
digital_twin.set_all_colors((0,0,0))
digital_twin.sync()

Game Structure

while True:
    countdown()
    time.sleep(1)
    if times_up == 0:
        touch()
        color_gen()
    if times_up == 1:
        digital_twin.set_all_colors((0,0,0))
        digital_twin.sync()
        score_display()
