Mini Python Project Tutorial - Alarm Clock

Today, I'll be walking you through a mini-python project, where we will create an alarm clock/timer. This straightforward course will show you how to play sound and how you can create a FANCY thing with the terminal!

I'm very new to python and just came from the password generator mini project video and was searching for more. Please do more and put them in a playlist. I was told the best way to learn python is to do mini projects and build your skill from there. These are so simple and you explain it so well as we follow along. Thank you so much for doing these! Please keep it up :D

Alternative:
import time
def alarm(secs):
for x in range(secs, -1, -1):
minutes, seconds = divmod(x, 60)
print(f"\r{minutes:02d}:{seconds:02d}", end="")
time.sleep(1)
print("Time Up!")

alarm(5)

it took me 3 hours to figure out. Thank you so much. I am just a beginner.This veido helped me alot.I need that kind of easy projects to upgrade my python level

[diegosantosmoto]

I like so much this kind of project. It's nice to practice and see how it works

[sauraabh]

Bring more of these small projects please

[KnowAiShortsnd]

for those getting error at CLEAR_AND_RETURN part, replace your print statement with this-
print(f"\r{minutes_left:02d}:{seconds_left:02d}", end='', flush=True)
hope this

[NiceChange]

Well that was fun Tim!!! Loved it!!!

if anyone has an error with getting "playsound" to install, namely:

"note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> See above for output."

Try opening cmd and running python.

pip install --upgrade wheel

Then try to run:

pip install playsound

it fixed my issue.

[homieee_lander]

is it just me or did anyone else couldn't manage to intall the playsound module either? Mine simply wouldn't get installed.

I would like to see you do videos for intermediate or cool medium projects

[mddawid]

Can you do a video about strucurization of bigger python projects? Where to put the classes, how to enclose helper functions into packages, how to properly name your files?

[Techtalkswithrahul]

Great video.. please make some videos on API development using python as those are the buzz words nowdays

[SkyFly]

That can be very useful for video game development...

[williamdelatorre]

For some reason my CLEAR_AND_RETURN = "\033[H" does not work, I am using windows 10 and python V3.11.

[pablozuta]

guys if you are getting an error try using a .wav file for the sound

[ssigitas]

I like this small projects. You can see how in practise use function, loops, etc 🤗 But what I still can not understand, in what sequence code must be written? It's looks for me, input should be above def alarm() function. I still can not understand what should be where??? 🤔

[soe]

It didn't work for me, though I did as 10:24 CLEAR_AND_RETURN the code remained exactly equal. keep as a colum of numbers
the run keeps like:
Alarm Will be sound in: 00:04
Alarm Will be sound in: 00:03
Alarm Will be sound in: 00:02
Alarm Will be sound in: 00:01
Alarm Will be sound in: 00:00

can you help me pls? The code is exactly the same.

[saranshbalian]

Bro, ANSI characters are not working in pycharm help me😢

[dWnT]

This looks very smart:
"2 from playsound import playsound"

I will write for myself...

[youssefsn]

Great mini project, but why not use divmod() function for time and the os module for clearing?
