Python Pomodoro timer

Added a simple feature which requires users to confirm they have selected the correct timings before they begin which means they won’t start a timer they don’t want to use. I also made it so that the timer is paused by defualt at the start until spacebar is pressed.

Created a set of instructions to guide the user through how to use the code and what to do if they encounter errors, the instructions are the second thing to appear so very visible to the user.

Added functionality which will allow the user to enter their continent and city and it will work out their current time zone and also means that they can have an accurate time displayed on their screen, might make it show the finish time in future.

Finished the project!!!!!

Finished by working on final text animations and setting time delay back to realtime as well as adding my @ and contact details (slack and github repo) to my in code readme for people who have not yet read the readme, there’s always some…

Finished code of project,might still make a few small improvements to the UI though, any reccomendations welcome :)

Timing and pausing logic fixed as well as working on makign cycles update in 0.1s of a cycle

Started fixing some final bugs but taking a while bebcause one bug is causing another. Almooooost finished surely.

Added a function so that the code will wait 0.1s before printing each line of code making it feel much more alive and connected to you. I also added a readme which users are told to read before using the software which will be the same readme as on github, firther progress to the readme is required as well as spacing and formatting of words.

Reverted code back to an older version as well as Working on the output of the project (how the text interface looks to the user. Almost inished now!!!

Attempeted to fix bugs but then created even more bugs in the process, ahhhh python.

Added pause functionality to allow the user to pause and unpause the timer at any time using the space bar, further updates to come on this

Finished cycles code, wooohooooo! Now when cycles remainign = 0.4 for example it will only do a fraction of the normal time, meaning that the time actually stops when the user expects it to.

Made the cycles signigfier work properly so it actually reduces properly each cycle. (Still have oossible improvements to make to it.)

Added the cycles option which means the enitre thing tuns a specific number of repeats, very complicated making a loop and had a few issues with defining things as variables etc, still have a few bugs but it is getting there now.

Added a cycle visualiser which allows the user to see how many cycles of the pomodoro timer they have left (doesn’t update for now)

Fixed the approximate decimal hours left by adding 1 on so that it never shows 0.0 hours also worked on adding study time summary circle to original timer as well as the custom timer.

Worked on adding a suummary ring in the top left corner which shows the ratio of studytime to break time in a nice visual. Had a few bugs and had to work on positioning it in the right place

Fixed some subtle bugs including one where i forgot to clear the screen after the hrs is printed which means it overlaps, also i started working on creating a code which can show the live time on the clock as well and when the timer will finish in real time. I made it so that it displays the current time right now (Uk) to get used to the live time modules

Worked on some simple debugging as well as adding 2 new turtles which will be used to display information on the timer screen. First tirtle has been loaded up to show total hours left and the second turtle will be programmed to show the real time time when the timer will finish ie. (10:25)

Screenshot of first turtle displaying time accurately

6 mins - fixed minor bug which only occurred when user selected a custom timer and a study or break period over 60 mins where it would display more than 60 mins for example “1hours, 96mins, 34secs”. Also improved time display so that it removed mins secs and hours and replaced them for colons. Also made it so that if time is less than 10 it displays as 09 for example to avoid flicking screen.

Worked on the Timers visuals and improved them by making the colours more appealing and calming, I also made the text bold to make it easier to read and feel like it has a softer edge. Also removed the flashing effect from the time display by only updating the screen when I need to.

Re-organised code entirely and heavily added comments to make code easier to process for next steps and make it more maintainable.
(I KNOW YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO UPLOAD SCREENSHOTS OF CODE AS EVIDENCE, BUT I HAD NO OTHER EVIDENCE SORRY)

Added the timer visuals to the custom timer set up which allows user to set any time as a study time and a brak time as long as it is not a decimal. Also, began to clean up the code by adding comments and defining variables more cleanly. (DEMO RUNNING SPED UP TO DEMONSTRATE)

Added status info in the top corner to allow the user to know whether it is a study period or a break period. Created using a new turtle specifically for that task. Also ran into a problem when previous screen would clear so had to fix that!

Made UI of timer slightly better and converted seconds into hours minutes and seconds as well as removing the turtle arrow. definitely still not done yet though!

Edited my turtle timer interface to allow for custom timings for the study time (black) and the break time( green). Only shows time left in seconds for now. Also, only currently works for one cycle of study/break

Created a very rough visual for a framework for how the final timer will look and programmed it to draw perfect circles over a set period of time, tested it at 60s and when it goes other it turns red and shows that the countdown has finished

Created extra variables which allowed me to extract a large amount of data from just the decimal time and the total cycle time. It allowed me to even work out how many cycles and the exact minute remainder

Created an algorithm to convert the time inputted by the user into a number of pomodoro cyles whether that is 30 mins total (25 min study and 5 min break) or if it is a custom one.

Added human error detection which prevents user from entering text values of time and simplified some code by adding loops.

Put my decimal time to hours and minutes time into a subrotine which allows me to call it at any point. And returned a value which includes strings as well as variables.

Worked on building the fundemental framework for the project as well as writing up my algorithm for converting decimal time into mins and hours as well as some basic human proofing. Very rough design at the moment with a lot of room for human error.
