Creating an Animated Christmas Tree in your Terminal with Python

Did a little Christmas special programming project by making an animated Christmas Tree that runs in your terminal. Sometimes programming can be fun, this is one of those times.

Hope you enjoyed the video!

When you realize that this little fun christmas project has a better - or even existing - thread management than most of our games.

The best demo of threading and mutex I’ve ever seen.

Merry Christmas!! :)

There is a thin line between genius and madness ... and you are exactly on that line ... Engineer Man is an under rated term for you ....

By the way

Happy Christmas 🎄 ( only tree I could produce here 😀)

Spending the day at home alone on Christmas. This is a nice little project to keep my mind busy.

Appreciate all the cool stuff you share with us.

Have a Merry Christmas mate. 🤓

"The entire Engineer Man team" ?! I thought you were *the* Engineer Man

I often suffer from impostor syndrome as a noob trying to building my own YouTube channel. Watching your videos prior to releasing my own video is not a good idea. You are amazing.

I'm adding this to the list of interview questions we give candidates

This is a great video about threading, it taught me alot! Thanks!

for those having problem with github converting the circle to this: ⏺ just search for anything else or place a star like this: ☆

Every second of this video is worth to watch, no wasted moments. Awesome.

Man i fucking love this channel. Good work and merry Christmas

Probably the first of your videos that I followed along with, made a nice lil tree XD
I had to change my terminal colors though, it's green by default so the green lights didn't "blink"

Now I know how to make threads in python :)Merry Christmas

If you're having trouble with the "circle" character showing up incorrectly, run *sudo apt-get install ttf-ancient-fonts*
I'm running a new install of Linux Mint and had to run this to get the proper characters.

I think this is probably a cleanest explanation of multi threading, lock and very clean pythonic code. I would really like to watch more informative and fun little videos 🥰 much love and merry Christmas...

[stephenjames]

I know nothing about coding and programming. You are an inspiration. Just done with your python for beginner tutorial, thanks for sharing. Now i'm hooked and i want to know more. I might be old enough to start, but i hope i can come up with something. Merry Christmas.

I learn something new in python with every video in this channel

You can use a context manager with threading.Lock(). It's a little bit nicer.

Amazing video, again. Merry Christmas Engineers!

Look at one point on the tree, and after a few moments, you'll start "seeing" after-image colors... RGB -> CMY.
