Inspiration
- (Shem) When I was in junior high school, a lot of my peers were unable to read novels, books, or read articles. A lot of students in the status quo are not aware of these things as reading is seen as a hobby. The best way to combat this is through categorization. Categorization allows a student to have a tangible metric or standard. ## What it does
- It's a GUI that takes readable text files as an input then spits out the appropriate reading level for that given text. ## How we built it
- For the computational process, we used Python.
- For file processing, we used sys.
- For the image, we used Pillow.
- For the GUI, we used TKinter. ## Challenges we ran into
We're unprepared because we only found out about this hackathon, the day before the actual event.
This is our first Hackathon. We were honestly very intimidated and were second-guessing if we should even pass anything.
-Our programming experience and knowledge are very limited. Some of us have only programmed for less than half a year.
-We have never used TKinter, OS, sys, or pillow. We are beginner programmers that are still going through the DSA-phase of these languages. We had to search for sample implementations of these libraries and try to understand what certain functions and methods do.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of having something to show at our first hackathon.
We were able to integrate libraries, that we have no experience working with, into our idea.
What we learned
-We learned about the functions and methods we used. It was very cool because I (Shem) always wanted to use something like sys or os since they were pretty much essential to workflow automation at the os-level.
What's next for ColemanLiauIndex-GUI
- Make the UI visually appealing
- If issues arise, solve the issues
- Revise PIL because of system-to-system variance.
Built With
