Peach and Goma Pomodoro Timer with tkinter

Inspiration

The inspiration for this project was the "study along with me" videos on Youtube. They create a nice and cozy vibe and environment, almost like you are studying there with them. I wanted to make something similar with cats and chose two cute cartoon characters.

What it does

This is a simple pomodoro timer. Press start to start the timer and it will cycle through a "work period" then a "short break", and after 4 work periods you will get a "long break" instead of the usual short one.

How we built it

I built this project fully in python and used tkinter for the GUI.

Challenges we ran into

The challenges I ran into were resizing of the images, removing background colors of the images, formatting of text messing with the GUI window, and implementing the start, pause, and reset buttons.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is my first actual hackathon project that I have completed. It isn't anything special and it is really simple code but I am still proud of myself for completing it. Hopefully the first of many projects to come!

What we learned

I learned a lot more about tkinter, how to load images, resize them, shifting them and changing them for other images and changing and editing text on the GUI as well.

What's next for Peach and Goma Pomodoro Timer with tkinter

Creating a web app version with html, css, and javascript. Also adding features like setting times for the work period, short break, and long break. Then finally adding more variety of images to cycle through of peach and goma.
