## :star2: About the Project
TamaFi is a modern reimagining of the classic Tamagotchi, aiming to blend nostalgia with modern technology. Built with an ESP32 microcontroller and a vibrant TFT LCD, TamaFi offers a unique twist: feeding your virtual pet through Wi-Fi scanning.
Why TamaFi?
- Classic Tamagotchis lacked vibrant graphics, backlighting, and modern interactions.
- TamaFi fills this gap by offering an enhanced virtual pet experience with open-source versatility.
