Inspiration
I am a high school freshman and this is my first hackathon. I swim competitively and wanted an application to help me workout outside of the pool, in swimming we call this dryland exercises.
What it does
This application leads you through a variety of different exercises to strengthen your core, legs, and upper body with an interval time for each exercise. You can even customize your own exercises, number of reps, and interval durations. Along the way you get encouragement and motivational phrases.
How I built it
I used the PyCharm Integrated Development Environment (IDE) on Windows 10.
Challenges I ran into
Today was the first time I used PyCharm. I had a difficult time configuring the Python interpreter to use pip properly. This made it difficult to import libraries such as time, random, and pyttsx3.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
During the COVID-19 quarantine I took an online python course and I am proud that I was able to apply my knowledge to write this much code. I have never written anywhere near this much code before.
What I learned
- I learned how to use an IDE
- I learned how a hackathon works
- I learned how to import in python
