Inspiration
Our need for a better alarm clock and our love for video games inspired us to make this project.
What it does
The Detestable Alarm Clock forces the user to play a random game from the pool implemented in the program before being able to close the alarm.
How we built it
This alarm clock was made using Python. The alarm clock program itself was coded by us, while the games were implemented from Github repositories. These are linked both in the main.py file and in the readme from this project's repository.
Challenges we ran into
Our team being comprised of beginner programmers both in general and specifically in Python, many beginner challenges were faced. The most notable one was that having the alarm and game running made everything slow, so we implemented threading into our program to make the experience as enjoyable as it can be.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have successfully made this project, being a team of beginners. We hope to make this project a mobile app in the future where it can be used as intended.
What we learned
All three of us had barely used Python before, making this a great learning experience for all of us!
What's next for NoobSquad's Detestable Alarm Clock
Our dream is to make this alarm clock into an app so that we can hate our phones every time we wake up! :D
