Application development here! Here's a couple of my projects (in progress):

Track time beautifully.

Timecard

Track time beautifully.

Timecard allows you to track how much time you spend on tasks It offers a clean, responsive one-window interface that allows you to quickly configure your time tracking, and then hides away in the system tray until you need it again.

Features

  • Start and pause time tracking from application window or system tray.
  • Stop timer and save to log with activity notes.
  • View, sort, and edit time log entries.
  • Customizable time log path.
  • Hides to system tray.
  • Quit protection helps prevent accidentally closing while tracking time.

Installation

This can be installed a number of ways.

PyPI

You can install directly via pip using the following command:

pip install Timecard-App

If you're installing outside of a virtual environment, use the following:

pip install --user Timecard-App

Then, you can start the program with just:

timecard-app

Usage

Using Timecard is simple!

  1. Press "Start" to start tracking time.
  2. Press "Stop"…

GitHub logo CodeMouse92 / wordperil

A word puzzle party game.

Word Peril

A live-play word game for three players, similar to "Wheel of Fortune" and "Hangman", with "Jeopardy"-inspired scoring.

The game is displayed on a single screen, and the keyboard used to control the game during live play.

Originally created for the after-party at EuroPython 2020.

The Score Screen after a puzzle is solved.

Where Are The Puzzles?

This repository only contains the Word Peril game itself. You will need to provide the puzzles in the form of .peril files, which are written in JSON format.

See example_puzzleset.peril in the root of this repository for an example of a puzzleset file.

Each puzzleset must have a title as the key for the first object, and one or more clues, each one associated with a list of puzzles.

Here's a shortened example, with a title of "Office Stuff", a single clue "thing", and two separated puzzles that use that clue.

{
    "Office Stuff"
    {
        "thing": [
            "stack
