  mlb live score updater with future enhacements

Inspiration: The idea behind this project was to create a fun, simple app for baseball fans to track MLB game scores and display team logos for a more engaging experience.

What it does: The app lets users input and update scores for home and away teams. It also includes actions like singles, home runs, and RBIs to adjust the scores, and shows placeholder team logos for a more visual, interactive feel.

How we built it: We built the app using Python and Tkinter, which helped us create the user interface with simple visual elements for team names, scores, and logos. While it doesn’t currently connect to an API, the foundation is set to include that feature in the future.

Challenges we ran into: The biggest challenge was making team logos update automatically. Right now, the app uses default logos instead of pulling them from an API. We also had some difficulty ensuring smooth, real-time score updates.

Things that we are proud of: We’re proud of how well the app handles real-time score updates and the clean, easy-to-use interface. The placeholder logos add a nice touch, making the app feel more interactive and fun.

What we took away: We learned how to build a functional Python app with a simple GUI, how to handle dynamic data updates, and how to make an interactive app, even with basic features.

Future prospects for live score update: Moving forward, we plan to integrate a live API to fetch team logos, pull live game scores, and add more features like stats, commentary, and push notifications for real-time updates, making the app even more engaging.
