Using Cognitive Services and Mario Kart to Create "Astrology"

Uses the Azure Face API and a Python detection script to analyze cosplay photos of Mario Kart characters because the API fails on cartoons, returning emotion scores like happiness 0.729 and surprise 0.619. Maps those numeric emotions to short horoscopes, assembles results with nes.css and deploys to GitHub Pages as a public Mario Kart astrology site. Works end-to-end for most characters (some like Iggy/Ludwig lack cosplay images), and the creator provides step‑by‑step code and a demo.
